Imagine if the 1996 NBA Finals had gone differently—Gary Payton still believes the Sonics could’ve toppled Michael Jordan’s legendary Bulls if only Nate McMillan had been healthy. Payton says he and McMillan would’ve tag-teamed on defense, making life tough for MJ. Even coach George Karl agrees: McMillan was the glue, the soul of that Sonics squad. When Payton finally got to guard Jordan, the Sonics won two straight. It’s wild to think how one injury might’ve changed NBA history. Do you think a healthy Sonics backcourt could’ve taken down the ‘96 Bulls? #Sports #Basketball #NBAHistory
