in my feeble brain it felt like he was getting lucky for like 2 or 3 straight seasons. Manu was/is the shit, though. I just accept it now.

Important to note, i'm not comparing their styles, but I had the same issue with Jeff Hornacek when he was on the Jazz. He would always hit these stupid runners and flip shots that just seemed lucky as fuck - cut me watching some random Jeff Hornacek feature on NBA Inside Stuff or something, of him practicing these stupid fucking shots, like 'that sonofabitch has been practicing that shit! he might be kinda nice'.
