Alright, let’s yak about this basketball fella, Kukoc. Heard folks talkin’ ’bout him, so I figured I’d spill what I know, or what I heard anyways.
Who’s this Kukoc fella?
Well, from what I gather, he was a basketball player, played in somethin’ called the NBA. Big deal, I guess. Folks say he played for a bunch of teams, like four of ’em. Bulls and Bucks, those are the ones I remember hearin’. Played a long time too, like 13 years. That’s a heap of runnin’ and jumpin’, I tell ya.
- Played for 4 teams
- Played for 13 seasons
- Bulls and Bucks were two of his teams
What kinda numbers did he put up?
Now, I ain’t no numbers gal, but they say he averaged somethin’ like 11.6 points a game. Points, that’s how you win, right? He also got some rebounds, like 4.2 they say, and 3.7 assists. Rebounds is grabbin’ the ball when someone misses, and assists is passin’ it so someone else can score. Sounds like he was a good all-around player, not just chuckin’ the ball all the time.
More than just points, eh?
Yep, seems like it. They say he was good at passin’, shootin’ when he had some space, and gettin’ them rebounds. And he wasn’t just some scrub either, he won some stuff. Heard he got this “Sixth Man of the Year” thing, whatever that is. Sounds fancy. And championships too, three of them NBA ones. That’s a lot, even I know that! Won ‘em with them Bulls, back in ‘96 was one of ‘em.
Big in Europe too, they say
And it ain’t just here in America. This fella was a big shot over in Europe too. Five times they called him the best player over there! Can you believe it? Five times! Won a bunch of gold medals too, playing for his country I reckon. One in somethin’ called the World Championships, and two more in the European Championships. They even said he was the best player in that World Championship thing, the MVP they called it. And get this, three times he was the best player in somethin’ called the EuroLeague. This fella was a real winner, no matter where he played.
Played with that Jordan fella?
Now, I heard whispers about him playin’ with that Jordan fella. You know, the one everyone talks about? Michael Jordan, that’s the name. Seems they had a bit of a rocky start, but ended up gettin’ along alright. Even played against each other after they retired, though not basketball, somethin’ else. Golf maybe? I don’t rightly recall. But they were friends, that’s what matters, I guess.
What else they sayin’?
Well, if you wanna know all the little details, there’s places you can look. They got stats, you know, all them numbers. And info on when he was born, how tall he was, all that. They know everything these days! They got info on what kinda shoes he wore, what kinda jerseys, and all the games he played in. Even got videos of him playin’, the “highlights” they call ‘em. And all the awards and titles he ever won, they got that too. It’s all there, if you’re interested. Me? I just tell it like I hear it.
So, this Kukoc fella, he was good?
Sounds like it to me. Long career, lots of points, championships, awards all over the place. Played with the best, played against the best. Seems like he was a pretty darn good basketball player, this Kukoc fella. That’s all I got to say about it. Now, where did I put my tea…?
