Playing in Karl Malone's shadow in Utah didn't bother Carlos Boozer the past six seasons.

The soon-to-be unrestricted free agent apparently wouldn't be fazed by continuing to do that — or by following in Michael Jordan's footsteps in Chicago, either.

Boozer even believes other big-name free agents might look at it as "an attractive thing to have that history, where M.J. played, where (Scottie) Pippen played for those six championships," the power forward said during an interview on Windy City-based ESPN 1000's "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on Wednesday.
