Description;
We have seen the connection between Kareem and offensive minded legendary guards.
We also have seen the connection between these two legendary guards and legendary centers.
And this time they got better teammates as well.
I can see them succeeding like the Spurs trio did in mid '00s. They feel so similar. Quality trio with no ego issues.
Grant is one of the best glue guys you could find. He was at the peak of his game in 1991-92. And you can tell his impact how 1991-92 stands out in the 1st threepeat or how the Bulls suffered from his departure and lost directly to the team Grant made better.
Arguably the best modern 3&D player completes the starting 5. His impact was off the charts;
