To be clear “Ring Culture” only became a thing to disparage one man. There was plenty of greats with no rings & it was barely mentioned. Once the one man started gettin mentioned with the other one then ALL OF A SUDDEN rings & finals record started to become a thing. Blame them
LeBron made it to the NBA Finals without Wade, Bosh, Kyrie, Love, or AD on his team.
MJ made it to game 4 in the 1st round, ONCE without Pippen on his team.
MJ had every opportunity to prove he could win without Scottie, but he'd rather quit than prove he can win without him.
