He thinks Pippen is a more suitable teammate, Pippen plays a role in gluing everyone, in Jordan's concept is that he himself leads everyone to win, while Pippen is more about teammates, thinking about the whole team.
Asked about Jordan's influence on him, Cookc replied: "In every way. He's not the best team-mate, but he always pushes everyone to train hard. "Jordan isn't a great guy to get along with, but the Bulls' success also requires him to do so. I've always thought that Jordan is the greatest player and for me, Scotty Pippen is more important. Because he is always taking care of the whole team and protecting everyone. He would always take the ball and find the most suitable person. Michael, on the other hand, was , 'Let me take you fly'. ”
Kukoc's highlight was in Game 3 of the 1994 Eastern Conference Semifinals, when Pippen refused to board the pitch in the final 1.8 seconds after Jordan retired, when Patrick turned around and hooked the ball to score the score to 102 draws.

I made a big mistake. At that time, I actually thought that I was more important than winning or losing. I promise that this kind of thing won't happen again. ’
