"Why don't the Knicks just play by themselves?"
Some even said the Knicks would be done for next season because they had absolutely no desire to defend their title.
The Knicks were just a ragtag bunch. Their success was a fluke, and failure was their default setting. Now that they'd won a championship and achieved fame and fortune, how could they possibly still have the willpower to fight for another title?
Jordan also publicly commented on Su Xi's statement.
He said, "I think he's joking. I'm treating it as a joke. Who would actually think something like that could come true?"
He also said he wasn't afraid of being replaced, claiming he was irreplaceable because he was one of a kind. But he stressed that "GOAT" is just a concept—that everyone is a GOAT, everyone is their own GOAT.
When the God of Basketball started spouting these kinds of feel-good platitudes, you could just imagine how cornered he felt.
On the court, Su Xi was relentlessly chasing down his accomplishments.
