The Bulls won three consecutive championships and were actually the second in command, the Dynasty substitute to the Hall of Fame, and the legendary basketball career of Cookie

In the Bulls' second three-game winning streak, Kukoc is the overlooked key puzzle. He went from "the Klaus system questioned by Jordan Pippen" to the actual second-in-command, and his career experienced the struggles of the Bulls and the ups and downs of the 76ers Hawks, but he was finally admitted to the Hall of Fame with his all-round ability - he was a pioneer of the dislocation of the times and a bridge for European basketball to integrate into the NBA.

The three Bulls in 1998, Kukoc was the "third person" in the camera. With Jordan hitting "The Last Shot", he won the third championship, and he was the "actual second-in-command" in terms of combat effectiveness that year - Kerr bluntly said "He sacrificed too much for the team." At first, Jordan and Pippen regarded him as "Klaus's man", but he just wanted to play with peace of mind, silently starting from a substitute in the dynasty, becoming the second only to Jordan in the last three consecutive championships (especially in the last year). After the dynasty fell apart, Kukochi stayed in the team and became the boss. Klaus fulfilled his promise of "giving the bulls a chance", but although Pippen and Jordan have not gone far, the bulls have already "opened". In the 98-99 season, he averaged 18.8 points, 7 rebounds, 5.3 assists (career high), but his shooting percentage was 42% (career lowest), and his real positive and negative defense value was - 0.3 (Vano King + 0.4), and the Bulls lost 13 wins and 37 losses in the shrinking season. The outside world criticized him for being a "weak team brat", but ignored the helplessness of the collapse of the lineup - the "strength theory" of competitive sports made him bear false charges.

Leaving the Bulls in 2000, he turned to 76ers to assist Iverson, but was disliked by Larry Brown ("I can't even play well") and was traded to the Hawks a year later. 00 - 01 season, he played 17 games for the Hawks, averaging 19.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 6.2 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of nearly 50% and 48.1% of three-pointers. The short "second spring" makes people imagine: if 76ers are left to play in the finals, can Iverson be closer to the championship?

Kukochi is the all-round synonym for "First to Five". At his peak, he became the best sixth man because of his handsome style and weak defense (amplified by the times). If in the small ball era, his all-round adapts to all systems. In 2021, he was recommended by Jordan to be inducted into the Hall of Fame and became a modern white model, European basketball legend, and an pioneer of international players. After retiring, he played golf with Jordan, and was low-key and down-to-earth, just as the Bulls said: He contributed to the team with different identities, his personal charm and professionalism are worthy of this honor.
