With both these players having their separate legacies, KD was attacked by Chicago Bulls’ great Scottie Pippen when he stepped foot on the line while deciding the Bucks vs Nets Game 7 in last season’s playoffs. Fans would be aware, that the former MVP gave his all against a star-studded Bucks’ squad but landed an inch short.
