Chasing a Dream
A championship does not define a career

 

 



Michael Jordan and Steve Kerr are two of the greatest basketball players of all time.

Well, that might be true if we define careers
strictly by championship titles.

People idolize Michael Jordan, in part
for winning six NBA titles, Steve Kerr falls only one short, with five. But, do these two players even belong in the same sentence in terms of career greatness?

Many argue that a player’s career is
incomplete without a championship title. Talented players who never reach that pinnacle are then cloaked with the label “Best player to never win it all.” Quite the left-handed compliment; it masks their true accomplishments.
