Kukoc was a big part of that bulls team success. Dude doesn't get credit at all from mainstream media but anybody who watched 90s basketball knows how special of a player Kukoc was.
I ain’t ashamed to say it but I love Toni Kukoc. He was the man in Europe and was able to put his ego aside and come off the bench for the Bulls during their 96-98 three-peat. He could pass like no one else, had an underrated post game and could hit the three. Dude could ball and I don’t think the Bulls win all those championships without him.
And Toni is finally in HoF! Shame he waited so long, dunno why, wasnt fair....but he deffo deserved it! Congratulations our Pink Panther! Greetings from Split <3
Tony was a prototype for what you see a lot in the NBA today, and I agree with Charles Barkley that he (and the Bulls) would be devastating in today's NBA. He absolutely deserves the HoF. He provided stretch that allowed MJ and Scotty a lot of freedom they wouldn't have had with a more average player in that spot.
Extremely underrated guy. Humble, cool, down to earth, never selfish ego player, mental strength on max, the greatest european basketball player, amazing athlete, amazing skills, high iq, great vision, a true killer... when i see who is in HoF already and he's not - makes me really sad! and in The Last Dance they should have made an episode about him... they barely mentioned him and his contribution (basically stuff how jordan and pippen wanted to show "their point" to jerry), and instead of him they put Kerr on that poster (nothing against him, i like him and his work). All in all - it's really not fair. The things what he had done in Europe is just a big wow! Many ppl from USA dont even know that and never seen his days in Europe.
This cat SHOULD HAVE BEEN in the HOF years ago! 6'10/11 ball handler and playmaker and 3 level scorer who was an MVP and won multiple championships in Europe before becoming a 3 time NBA champ... GIVE THIS MAN HIS DUE!!
Kukoc deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.

As a Knicks fan this guy really killed us. His size and passing ability was second to none I think. A very gifted player

Thank you for showing such love to our legends Toni and Dražen!
The fact that he SURVIVED Michael and Scottie going at him means he’s the real deal.
It’s unforgivable that he did not have his own episode on The Last Dance
Toni always seemed cool af, like a laid back regular guy. He was always one of my favorites.
As a croatian, I wall get proud when I see people giving props to Toni. Amazing player
My friends and me where playing basketball in early '90s and Tony Kukoc was our idol

Growing up in Chicago the Croatian sensation was one of those all around players you strive to be
Extremely underrated. Extremely.
In Europe, Toni Kukoc is god. For fans from europe he is our european Magic. His status in europe is like Jordan, Kobe or LeBron in USA

Toni is one of the European all.time greats.
I was a huge fan of Kukoc when i was growing up. Thanks for the video!
Got to give the Left handed sensation his respect! 👍✌🏻
