2485049, There was no narrative that Jordan was a 'ball hog' because you

can't call someone a ball hog when they're making most of their shots....MJ was probably not only the best scoring option on his team but also probably the most efficient, definitely so when you consider how many shot attempts he got

That's what you and whoever believes that MJ was a "ball hog" don't get - MJ, unlike Bean, AI, and Melo, was a very efficient scorer and took good shots from the field

The belief was that the league leading scorer couldn't win a championship, particularly Jorn because it was believed he wouldn't trust his teammates enough to win a chip
