«I always say Michael probably was the best player,» said Kukoc. «Scottie, to me, was as important as Michael. Because of that idea that Scottie was taking care of the whole team and was guarding people. He would bring the ball up and would find the right people and then for Michael it was, ‘OK, take us home.'»

«In every way possible,» Kukoc said, when asked how Jordan influenced him. «He wasn't the nicest of teammates. But in a way, he was pushing everybody to practice good.»
