Ring Chaser: Kevin Willis' Quest to Win A Ring

Kevin Willis’ journey to a ring showed him the value of patience and hard work.

Kevin Willis is one of the greatest role players in NBA history.

He was so good, in fact, that he was an NBA All-Star and an All-NBA player back in the 1991-92 season.

But despite playing with some really good players, such as Dominique Wilkins, Hakeem Olajuwon, and a young Vince Carter, the teams he played for never did well in the playoffs.

For the entirety of the 90s, the furthest he went in the postseason was the Conference Finals in 1996-97 with the Houston Rockets, which lost to the Utah Jazz.

So, much like Karl Malone, on the cusp of turning 40, Willis started his ring-chasing campaign.
