Luka is really close in my opinion. Much taller at 6’7 and technically doesn’t play the point but he is a bulky play maker who isn’t that athletic but has deceptive speed on the break, good handles, plays the pick and roll well and can get hot and drop 30 while also setting his team up.
He balled! Jazz just weren't good enough. He really fell off later in his career because of all of those shoulder injuries. He was a baller in his prime and early in his career though!
I think I mentioned this before in a separate video of this game a few years ago. Pay attention to Boozer at 5:24 signaling to the referees that Okurs pointless shot at the end should have counted. That's not what champions do. You can tell which players have a championship pedigree and which ones don't. Also, Dwight Howard shooting a useless 3 at the buzzer at the end of game 6 against the Cavaliers on 2009. A game that the Magic won, and Howard decides to shoot a pointless 3 pointer at the buzzer. Not a championship decision. Some players just want it more than others and they know what they have to do, they know what is really important. Not silly stuff like this. Players like Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett. They know what it takes to win a championship. They're not interested in the silly nonsense. Kobe actually mentioned it in an interview. He said that at some point he realized, that he just wanted it more than others. That's when he knew that he would be great.
It's the little things sometime that separate really good teams, from great teams. Carlos Boozer at the end waving his hand around as if to say that the pointless basket at the end counted shows a slight lack of seriousness, and sometimes that's all it takes. That's the difference between him and Duncan. Same with Dwight Howard, game 6, 2009 eastern conference finals. The Magic won, they're up by 13 with seconds left...and Howard takes a 3. Immaturity by Howard, and lack of seriousness by others, is what separates the really good, from the really great.
