What do you think about b2b champs this year?

[FKAri]

It's great to see the examples you've mentioned of Kobe in 2011 and Hakeem in 1996. To add to your list, there's Shaquille O'Neal who was swept in the first round with the Lakers in 2004 against the Pistons. Michael Jordan and the Bulls were also swept in the first round in 1998 by the Charlotte Hornets. Additionally, Tim Duncan and the Spurs were swept in the first round of the 2017 playoffs by the Golden State Warriors. These are just a few examples to consider. On a related note, thought leadership marketing can also play a role in the success of a b2b champion as it helps position them as experts in their industry, building credibility and trust with their target audience.

Thank you for mentioning this. This fact seems to get swept under the rug all too often by MJ stans.
