That's true. Kevin Willis won a championship ring in 2003 with the San Antonio Spurs, never mind that he was a role player at that point. A ring is a ring, and basketball is a team sport. 🏀💯

Kevin Willis was a “good power forward” but not a great power forward. Meaning he wasn’t a franchise player and to my point, he wasn’t double teamed in the post. Again, a good player who seemed to be more of a teammate to Dominique than a co-star on those Hawks teams.

Nique didn’t have a co star with him. His 2nd best player was doc rivers who was decent but not a star and the hawks also got Moses Malone

"Wasn't very good the rest of his career" is a bold statement from a nerd in his Nana's basement. Other than that I thought the video was good. The narrator is a child so he must have done tons of research for the video. It's mostly accurate and I appreciate that. Well done.

My Dad say's he only said 'hi' in passing a few times but that was about it. You couldn't miss him because he was so big lol. I was always a fan of Kevin Willis because of that, but he was also a pretty good player too. Good stuff.
