In a nutshell. Folks have been waiting for their get back at Bean ever since he won that ring in '09 after they said he'd never sniff the Finals again without Shaq. Just cat like jealousy. Dudes referencing his age like he didn't put up 25+ on 45% Now he's done again, despite of the fact he was supposed to be done in '04 and '08. Probably missing a few years, but folks have been literally praying for sons dropoff for so long it's hard to keep track. When he comes back and posts 20+ on 45%, they'll still call him washed despite of the fact he's still posting better numbers in his 18th season than their favorite player in their 11th.
