It’s why you have guys like Vlade Divac and Dino Radja in the NBA Hall of Fame. Those guys ‘changed the game’ by making the decision to come to the NBA and bring their style to the NBA game. It’s not like any of them ever dominated in the NBA or even sniffed an MVP trophy, etc.
And even if you wanna use that lame comparison for the second 3 peat, how do you explain the first one? Jordan literally had nothing but role players outside of Pippen. And again, it’s not like Pippen was anything before he landed with the Bulls. He became the player he was because of being on Michael Jordan’s Bulls. I love Pip, but Michael helped make Pip who he was and once Pippen became that guy, he was finally able to help Jordan get over the hump (beating the Bad Boys and ultimately, winning a title).

Throwing Kukoc in there just goes to show how disingenuous KCC really is.
Because if we were to mention Kevin Love he’d act like it’s a joke.
