Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris has been having a blast with the now-infamous “I took that personally” Michael Jordan meme from the Last Dance documentary. He inadvertently (or very advertently) set himself up for the same hilarious meme, following his postgame comments in the aftermath of the Sixers' 129-105 rout of the Sacramento Kings at Wells Fargo Center.
The Eastern Conference-leading Sixers played sans their two All-Stars Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons who were each nursing injuries. Harris, of course, heard all the noise questioning how Philly will fare without its two best players. After dropping 29 points, 11 rebounds, eight assists, and two steals against the Kings, it's safe to say that the 28-year-old scorer just proved their naysayers wrong.
“I take that stuff personally when people say that we can't win (without Embiid and Simmons) because I know how much talent we have as a group, and I also know how well we play together…We have a culture and a system here that works,” Harris said, per The AThletic's Derek Bodner.
Of course, social media users were quick to photoshop his face on the Michael Jordan meme the moment he uttered the words “I take it personally”. Harris, himself, is already a big fan of the Jordan meme as he even re-tweeted it back in January.

Harris and the Sixers, meanwhile, definitely put up a statement victory at the expense of the lowly Kings. The Sixers have already proven they can still hold the top spot during Embiid's absences, and Harris made sure they will do the same with Simmons also out of the line-up.
