Chapter 423: He Would’ve Been Proud.*
When the Kings players wrapped up their quick locker room celebration and returned to the court, less than a third of the crowd remained.
That’s just how it goes in a small-market arena—home fans are loyal through and through.
But those still here weren’t Milwaukee locals.
They were fans from all around the world who had come for one reason—to witness Han Sen’s coronation.
The title of "solo-carry champion" has always been controversial.
Everyone defines it a little differently. But most agree that only a select few belong in the conversation: Hakeem Olajuwon in ’94, Tim Duncan in 2003, and Dirk Nowitzki in 2011.
But after tonight?
Han Sen might be the next name etched into that list.
In five Finals games, Han averaged 42 points, 7 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 2.4 steals, and 1.2 blocks per game—on 50.6% shooting and 36.8% from three.
No other Kings player even averaged 20.
Not even half his scoring.
