What a way for him to leave the game by scoring 60 in his last game ever. About the Warriors, I can't believe they won 73 games. It's just amazing. This was an amazing NBA season, even though my Suns didn't make the playoffs for the sixth straight season.

In my eyes, his farewell game was symbolic of the end of the "hero ball" era, with only Kobe ever winning any rings, albeit he needed HOF centers each time (O'Neal, Gasol). AI, Melo, Vince Carter, Marbury, et, al. never won anything by playing the "me first" game. Those guys just thought Jordan won by himself. Now this next generation looks to have learned from this last generation's mistake.
