Toni Kukoc believes that his former club needs to play better team basketball in order to make the playoffs.

He played four seasons with the Bucks before retiring in 2006, and won three NBA championships with the Bulls early in his career.

"They did so many changes again," Kukoc said of Milwaukee. "They do the changes every year. As much as the some people (players) are not going to like it, it?s on the leaders to turn the team. When your leadership makes it a, 'OK, let?s play as a team,' then everybody else follows.

"To me, that?s always been a key," Kukoc added, "to any team sport."
