That last shot Pippen refused to enter the game 'cause Jackson drew up the play for Kukoc, and Pippen felt like deserved to take the last shot, and chose to pout and quit on his team. The fact that Kukoc made it makes it that much better.
What's crazy is this wasn't his first buzzer beater. There's like...3 or 4 just in this video alone. Heck, I think Pippen even fed him once. Pippen just couldn't see the forest, always focused on the tree.
I still have this man’s jersey! I was in love with Toni as a kid 😂! Seeing this footage brings back so many great memories for me as kid. The bulls were literally all that back in the 90s. I miss this era
Couldve played 1,2 ,3, but they needed a 4 so he blended. No doubt about his bball iq or his clutchness. He put team above individual accolades which made the dynamic duo even better .
Don't forget Ron Harper. Dude was an allstar before joining Chicago. What was important they were built ahead its days. Lots of good overall defenders who could switch positions. Only few players were below 6-6. Their only Achilles heel was center position, as they did not have a really good piece there.
In the '90s east though, Longley was one of the few centers who could physically stand with Zo, Shaq, and Ewing. Averaged over 10 pts a game during the 2nd 3peat, and was a terrific post passer.
@@kevinhegwood615 10 points on below 50% efficiency. He also averaged only about 5 rebounds. I remember games when he started game and had to be subbed in first half of first quarter because of foul trouble. For sure he was not a strong link, he had his moments but even himself admitted that he was having problems with consistency.
@@bartomiej9807 dude was absolutely not an all-star, but when they had Pip, MJ, and the wurm, Longley held down the center position defensively. And could throw in a bucket or two. Honestly though, he did almost single-handedly cost them that 96 Orlando series.
So underrated. This guy is 6ft 10 inches and could do it all including shooting around 50% from 3. The Bulls didn't just take him because of all of that though ofcourse it was the main reason but he won 5 titles in European league. 2 in the Australian league. He knew how to handle pressure
That New York shot was controversial it shows that not just Jerry but Phil Jackson himself knows Kukoc have the capability. He's like "I'm the coach here Scottie"😑
The best allaround european player alltime 207cm! no debate by far ...playmaker 3pts pass slam dunk rebound steak block and clutch ! kukoc was thé best with drazen.
Drazen Petrovic was the best Eu player ever. sadly God did not have anyone to play 1vs1 on so he took him before we had enough time to enjoy his magic . Miller up to this day claims Drazen was the best shooter NBA has ever seen...Miller is by far called by most the best shooter but he as the best shooter claimes it was late Drazen Petrovic czcams.com/video/0EUo5p6D990/video.html
Just imagine how frustrating it had to be for opposing teams. You've fought hard all game, you have the lead with seconds - or even just one second - left on the clock. You know Michael Jordan can hit a shot at the buzzer. If you just keep him from touching the ball you might win. Except, no. Toni Kukoc also hits those shots. That was the great thing about watching the Bulls in the mid 90s. Even in those rare instances when they lost a game, you always had the sense they might pull it out at the end.
Could off had his own franschize, could of come to Heat with Alonso, could of come to Cleveland, Dallas, Charlotte, Jersy or other clubs, all of those teams needed Toni to get over that playoff bounce, but He would be the King in Warriors
Without Toni Kukoc Chicago wouldn't win 3 rings. One of the best European players ever!!!
All of Chicago is proud of you Toni. Congratulations on the HOF and thank you for 3 rings.
They put Kerr on the cover of the Last Dance, my God, this dude was up there with MJ
Because Kerr is American.
Not quite, but pretty damn good!
Kukoc is one of the greatest ever to touch the basket ball
Congratulations on your HOF induction, Toni. All so proud of you!
That last shot Pippen refused to enter the game 'cause Jackson drew up the play for Kukoc, and Pippen felt like deserved to take the last shot, and chose to pout and quit on his team. The fact that Kukoc made it makes it that much better.
Pippen is a better PLAYER, Toni is a better SHOOTER.
What's crazy is this wasn't his first buzzer beater. There's like...3 or 4 just in this video alone. Heck, I think Pippen even fed him once. Pippen just couldn't see the forest, always focused on the tree.
Wow, didn't know Toni Kukoc is such a finisher 😳 for a more physical era he made a lot of game winning shots 😲
Jordan was the face of the NBA so Toni was downplayed... Kukoc was a beast.
Kukoc looking like Magic on these passes
Dirty passes. Only IQ, not much tecnique.
I still have this man’s jersey! I was in love with Toni as a kid 😂! Seeing this footage brings back so many great memories for me as kid. The bulls were literally all that back in the 90s. I miss this era
My first number, starting playing basketball, was #7 for Toni in Benetton Treviso and Croatia team
He was a fabulous player 🏀🧡
Le plus élégant des basketteurs européen, la grande classe, Kukoc forever #7
Oh boy! that passing skills was incredible ! now I’m convinced he was Luka Doncic during that era
To me more like a prime, also lefthanded, Lamar Odom looking at size. A legit 6-10, very creative and quick, Luka is only 6-7.
you don,t must need to Petrovic!!!
@@gustavosanchezmumary5 Mozart!
need to Petrovic no, forget to Petrovic...
@@jermaineonealnumber7 Yes the basket,s Mozart!! When he played in Spain i allucinated!!!
Couldve played 1,2 ,3, but they needed a 4 so he blended. No doubt about his bball iq or his clutchness. He put team above individual accolades which made the dynamic duo even better .
1990's basketball, especially the two Bulls three-peat, is so much better than 3 point no defense shoot around nowadays.
the right way of making clips, straight to the point
The Hall of Famer! The Waiter! Thank you for being so creative at 6-10 and clutch!
When Horace received that sweet dime, he stated in the press conference that that pass “was beautiful like the Mona Lisa!”… I’ll never forget that.
What a legend this man!
That pass to Kerr was something else!
An artist and a fighter of the highest level.
Those buzzer beaters are INSANE!
That #1 highlight was a bittersweet one, and we still lost that damn series.
Congrats to The Waiter on his well deserved HOF induction.
so proud of you TK7
He could've had so much more recognition on a different team
Like a taller luka doncic. Worse scorer but better passer.
Hmm, maybe but that means way lesser championships on a team that doesn't have #23 and #33 and Worm on their roster.
Absolutely...
Yes, but likely not 3 chips!
And better stats definitely
Chicago Bulls fans were lucky in those days! always great home games with Jordan, Pippen, Rodman and Kucoc putting on a show !
Toni was one of the best ever. Top 5 best European players ever.
Sabonis, Nowitzky, Petrovic, Gasol and Kukoc
In the NBA. Overall, we have also Nikos Galis.
Kukoc was a heck of a player who didn't get the credit he deserved.
people need to understand how stacked chicago is. its not just MJ and pippen
They recruited some damn good ballers. They were phenomenal system players.
Don't forget Ron Harper. Dude was an allstar before joining Chicago.

Absolute legend! I see a lot of similarities between his game and another HOF, Manu Ginobili.
Inolvidable jugador.
Felicidades por ser inducido al HOF
Thank you for everything, Kukoc!
Number 6 is my favourite, you can't defend this shot!
Was so gooood. I saw him playing when he was 17 in Italy during a under 18 world championship
So underrated. This guy is 6ft 10 inches and could do it all including shooting around 50% from 3. The Bulls didn't just take him because of all of that though ofcourse it was the main reason but he won 5 titles in European league. 2 in the Australian league. He knew how to handle pressure
2:38 Phil like this: Oh Scottie, that f***s me up.
Toni Kukoc.
Composure: 20
Flair: 20
Passing: 20
2:09 one of the best highlights in nba.
One of the best players to ever play the game.
Players were very skilled in the 90s look at these plays omg
That New York shot was controversial it shows that not just Jerry but Phil Jackson himself knows Kukoc have the capability. He's like "I'm the coach here Scottie"😑
Bulls had 5 hall of famers on the court: MJ, Pippen, Rodman, Kukoc and someday Kerr as a coach (still the NBA's all time career 3 point % leader).
Tony is the man
I'll attend a parade for Toni Kukoc anytime Chicago throws one. Would love to relive Grant Park.
The bulls chemistry was outstanding
The best allaround european player alltime 207cm! no debate by far ...playmaker 3pts pass slam dunk rebound steak block and clutch ! kukoc was thé best with drazen.
my fave euro player ever
I have Croatian blood in my veins & played a lot of park ball..Toni makes me the proudest penguin!🎉..
Kukoc is part of the golden era of the Bulls.
Toni Kukoc and Steve Kerr were great three shooters weeapons🎉 🏀
Great passing in front of his great mate, also Croatian, Dino Radja.
This guy was like a 6'10" Luka Doncic. People just don't know. But he was overshadowed a bit by a couple of other pretty good players
Dont tell me Kukoc has made more game winning shots...than the GOAT Lebron on his entire career
I dont think so
He hasn’t, but he is right there with jordan
😂😂😂
Clutch
Bonus: Top 1 Jason Caffey career highlight
Best comment.
Fantastic selection man ;)
Best European player of all time!🏀🏀🏀
Ummmmmm, not. #1 Arvydas Sabonis, #2 Dražen Petrović, #3...you can put Kukoc here if you want.
The best player of NBA all the times of Europa
These are only from the Bulls days . Action with Iverson where they going two Times behind the back Passes is Another Level....
Underated
to me the best europe player dirk is great but toni was amazing
Won't debate the best, but my fav as a kid was Drazen.
Drazen Petrovic was the best Eu player ever. sadly God did not have anyone to play 1vs1 on so he took him before we had enough time to enjoy his magic . Miller up to this day claims Drazen was the best shooter NBA has ever seen...Miller is by far called by most the best shooter but he as the best shooter claimes it was late Drazen Petrovic czcams.com/video/0EUo5p6D990/video.html
@@jankopandza1072 The Dragon!
You forget to Petrovic!!!
@@preston74 For me also!!
Kukoc was the king
To me, the best euro player ever.
Actual basketball.
#3...after the game Kukoc's quote was "did not call glass." My friends and I would say this after every accidental bank shot on the court.
Q TALENTAZO tenía Toni...Junto a Petrovic los mejores jugadores de la extinta Yugoslavia(y no había pocos...)
Croatia. They are CROATIANS.
!yet yugoslavia@@33neptun
what a memories
Best player out of Europe, after Drazen.
BEST in Europe. Before Dražen.
Better than Drazen,but not better than Doncic or Jokic.
He was never an all-star,those two guys are the best in the world.
Kukoc rocked. I remember some saying he got preferential treatment because he was white. Bull--he was damned good.
Just imagine how frustrating it had to be for opposing teams. You've fought hard all game, you have the lead with seconds - or even just one second - left on the clock. You know Michael Jordan can hit a shot at the buzzer. If you just keep him from touching the ball you might win. Except, no. Toni Kukoc also hits those shots.

He's so underrated
Oh Tony
Toni was actually pretty clutch.
Love Kukoc ❤
Best 6th men ever!!!
Damn this guy was better than LeBron 🤔
Toni! 😉👍
Toni was born 20 years too early.
Fine Art
Clutch is Kukoc.
I always bring up #8...then I have to look it up to make sure I remembered it right.
The Jordan came back and they wouldn't let Toni gt anymore game winners
I bet Doncic Luka isn't that type of clutch player like Kukoc and Mj. They are on another dimension.
Big 4
It's exactly like watching Luka highlights.
He would eat Luka for breakfast.
In jugoplastika he was a monster
That left shot was lethal
No. 1 was time that Scottie Pippen let the Bulls out?
Yep...
My favorite basketball player
Chicago
Kukoc's top plays of all time look like an average game for Luka
Could off had his own franschize, could of come to Heat with Alonso, could of come to Cleveland, Dallas, Charlotte, Jersy or other clubs, all of those teams needed Toni to get over that playoff bounce, but He would be the King in Warriors
Legend
He dunked on Robinson. Holy shit
Wau, todas al filo de la navaja.🏀🤜💥🤛🏀
TK is the most best 6th player😊 Also he's the most Utility player🎉🎉
That Jason Caffey dunk?
Wembayaba could develop into a Kukoc-type character.
De ótra galaxía el Tony starks kukos
