- Today we are taking a look at the best passes from 'Croatian Sensation' Toni Kukoc. Toni is a criminally underrated player, who helped the Bulls win their 2nd 3-peet. At 6'11'', Kukoc was able to do everything on the court - shoot the 3, pass, post up, play all 5 positions... He won the Euroleague 3 times in a row with Jugoplastika, Split, as well as 3 straight NBA rings with the Bulls. Let us know in the comments what is your favorite pass from the list, and if you like the video consider subscribing to our channel!

Not just a great passer, but one of the best ever among big men. Welcome to the Hall of Fame, Toni.
There will be no other player like Toni. He was one of a kind. I really missed his games and I missed Toni-Dino on the court with Jugoplastika...bili su fantastični !
6'11'' point guard, not many of those in basketball history!
@@BasketballFundamentals Toni Kukoc, the greatest of them all!
I loved Toni with the Bulls. He is very deserving of the HOF! Congratulations
GOAT for me. From Jugoplastika days! Original, genious, selfless, real team player! Pink Panther, the Waiter...Toni Kukoč is the best!! 💙🥂💙🤣💙🍾💙7💙 Congrats dear Toni!!!
I am his fan since 1992. He was a taller Magic Johnson with his passing skills and was great shooter. His resume alone before joining NBA was already HoF material. Its about time he is inducted.
He seemed more like Larry Bird than Magic Johnson.
@@fabiogomes2894 I think Mr. E is right. He was more like Magic because he natural position was the point. He didn't get to play that position much in Chicago because Pippen ran the offense, but he was at his best when running the point. He was similar in some way to Bird as well but Magic and Bird were similar players so that's not surprising.
@@williamkoscielniak7871 I said Bird because he' played as a small/power forward in Bull's team, who made great passes and clutch shots, like "Larry Legend".
That number 7 alley-oop.....the precision in the pass and the athleticism of Pippen....but I love the 12. This plays sums up the Bulls of that era.
Dude played every position.
How much more could you wish for?
Goosebumps After seeing last past (seen it so many times).
He was a starting center when Longley was out due to injury
Love to watch Toni Kukoc play in all the videos of Bulls games.
yea me too
The best asisst from Europe ever !
My favorite player growing up
If he was drafted today and given the freedom from the start he would average 25/7/7. Very underrated player, he sacrificed his stats to win championships!
Totally agree, its a shame he is not in the Hall of Fame yet!
That's the thing I liked about Toni though. The fact that he only cared about the team winning and not his own stats made him not only a real teamplayer, but also a true player who understood basketball's fundamentals.
You’re damn right!! Even in his era if he ran his own team he could throw those numbers up to.
He would have around 12-15 ast. because that was his thing . . . rather pass then shoot even do, if he had to sccore ( that was more Dražen Petrović style, 100 points in one game back in 80' when in Europe team woula have 65-80 points in total on end ) like lets say against Italy, he had 11/11 3p.
He could play any position, unselfish, incredible talent, quiet and for me, ofc best Croatian player ( even do there is K. Ćosić-older croatian legend, played university in US but not NBA, D. Petrović ( best shooter ever, too bad he died young, Dino Rađa & Stojko Vranković ( both played in Celtics ) . . . etc. )
@@BasketballFundamentals
HE IS NOW😊😊😭
Toni Kucoc, the greatest of them all.
This video is straight fire 🔥🔥
You got some rare plays in here, not only was he one the greatest passers of all time (in terms of big men) he has compiled some of the greatest game winning shots in history.
nepravedno izostavljen iz kuće slavnih. Šteta i kao osoba i kao igrač uvijek je bio dobro došao i nagrađen aplauzima gdje je god igrao. Nesebičniji igrač se nije rodio. Sada takvu ulogu i kvalitet pruža Nikola Jokić igrač denver nagetsa. Svaka čast obojici!!!!!!
TONI KUKOC IS A LEGEND!
The Iverson exchange was sublime.
Most underrated player, period
The greatest 6th man ever! can replace any of the starting 5 of the Bulls!
One of the best players I've ever seen. Not sure why him and Luc Longley were treated so bad because they were from a different country.
How is possible that Toni had only one triple-double in his NBA carrer???
He had the skills for triple double but wasn't very assertive and also played a limited role in triangle system. So it's like 50 percent him 50 percent system they played. He wasn't the main guy on the team and didn't want to be the main guy, just get his touches.
Legend......👍👍👍
My favorite small forward !!! We miss nr 7 !!!
My favorite Yugoslavian player ever! You should check out his highlights when he was playing for Jugoplastika, Split. 6'11" point guard.
Croatian.
Toni was faster back in Europe too! I prefered his games back in Europe whether with Jugoplastika or Benetton, because they played as a team and it didn't matter who score. While in NBA, many times did I notice that even he could obviouly score but somehow he had to pass it to others and it just slowed down the game. I loved European basketball back then. I think the games were more tactical than in NBA. And Toni is my most favourite sportsman ever!!!
@@godfreyofbouillon966 croatia is part of yugoslavia before
@@godfreyofbouillon966Ne seri.
Sjajna generacija jugoslavenskih kosarkasa a TONI je svakakako jedan od najboljih!!!
Toni je NAJBOLJI. Bez ikakve diskusije.
@@33neptun drazen petrovic nikad ga necemo zaboravit
Number 5 is really impressive... it's like something one would expect from Jason Williams. Speaking of players that would benefit from the type of playstyle the NBA favors these days.
5 is really a work of art. Like time stopped and he was floating in the air doing a dance.
That one looked like Magic Johnson covered in talc.
That entire sequence for the number 1 pass is the most obscene play i've ever seen.
I needed the slow-mo replays just to see what actually happened!
#12 1:31 is the best play of his career. Might be the best play of the second Bulls dynasty
we need toni kukoc and drazen petrovic nba2k edition!
Very underrated and deserves a lot more credit.
i love you toni
For me, best/greatest European player ever. Along with Sabonis, the elder, and Drazen Petrovic
Most attractive passer in history of the game and one of the best players ever.
@Dragan Catic Прво, чим неком кажеш да је блесав изгубио си сваки аргумент. Друго, исто што и прво. И треће, ако си ти уживо гледао Кукоча, ја сам Цар Душан.
@Dragan Catic Сине, твој коментар скоро да не заслужује одговор, пун је острашћености и елементарног непознавања кошарке па и спорта уопште. По теби би Пеле био далеко од најбољег фудбалера свих времена јер није имао никакву статистику у најјачим лигама света - шпанској, италијанској, енглеској,немачкој.... Да не говоримо да си играо кликере у време Кукоча док сам га ја гледао на утакмицама па је разговор са тобом у најмању руку беспредметан и то благо речено. Поздрав и одјава.

After jason williams the white chocolate
@@milosobrenovic1241 E, to sam provalio kod gomile klinaca, svi se hvataju za statistiku današnjih igrača i to im je argument da su superiorniji. Ne samo da su tad gledali igrače odavde sa skepsom, nego i kad odu, ni u ludilu ne mogu da dobiju takvu slobodu u igri. Jedan Žarko Paspalj nije mogao da dobije minute kod ludog Larry Browna, a danas odvode klince iz 2. lige. Danilović je za 2 sezone imao prosek oko 12-13p, Bogdan ove godine preko 16, ali je Danilović jednostavno bio bolji igrač. A i sama košarka je drugačija. Kukoča su u NBA nagruvali da bi ga gurali na četvorku, pa je bio dosta sporiji nego onaj evropski Kukoč što se iz dva koraka sjuri u reket sa polovine terena. Mali Pokuševski može da postane nešto nalik Kukoču ako se bude razvijao kako treba i ako ostane zdrav.
Federer of basketball.magician!
Since coming to the BULLS, Kukoc has always been the smartest player on the team.
Coolest thing for me: Toni's teammates running on breaks because they know he'll find them.
Great content
Thank you :)
Legend
Awesome passing skills! One of my favorite Bulls player :) #5 kinda looked like an up and down though idk 🤔
Best assistant....
Best ever
Pink panter
Evo ovaj je bio veliki igrač, hoču da kažem uvijek Hrvati su bili naj boliji u Košarku u Yu
Genius
Just imagine Toni playing with Ginobili in the same team
I learned a new cliche by watching this video in 2021- "the Croatian Curve"...that's nice, but can it also be "Toni's or Kukoc's Curve?"
A 6'11 Jason Williams, the Croatian white chocolate😀
It's a crime he is not in the hall of Fame!
He is now 😆
he is in the hall of fame! and he is a freakin legend!
All I can say is... the Waiter
Pink panter legend
where ever he came he won championship . nickname the Waiter ! because where ever he came he served championships to the fans ! maybe the guy with best statistic when it comes to number of years played and number of championships won !
From which game is assist #8?
Guys....Toni was the best in Europe. This is no surprise!
the original unicorn
Tony was out there dropping DIMES..
7' shooting guard
Kukoc is the original doncic
6'11" left handed Luka with defense
An underestimated player, one of the best, it was the Europeans of the 90s who helped the recognition of current Europeans like Giannis, Jokic, etc.
This is secretly a Red Kerr appreciation video
If Ben Simmons had Kukoc 3pt sniping.... he'd be the ideal point forward.
he was good ,,but Petrović was better ,and now today ,Jokić and Dončić ,,wow,,but i dont think soo,,there are some better matches played on Euroleague ,then in NBA ,, NBA is like cartoon for children until it reach playoffs .. Get Jokić and Dončić back in Europe ,they will not get same numbers like in NBA ,, NBA is just show must go on ,,don play defence,,just run n gun ,,thats not baketball ! And i think in soon time ,europe will dominate this game in future.
He is nowhere near the level of Jokic and Doncic. These guys are franchise players and MVP candidates every year, who singlehandedly turned around their lottery franchises and made them champinship contenders without even a second star on their teams and while being in their early 20's, it's incredible. Kukoc was a 4th option on his NBA team, it's insane to compare him with those guys. It's called nostalgia syndrome or subjective bias, it messes with your judgment, reality and objectivity.
@@MrBodin26 No it s called the illness of the young generations, stupid kids comparing basketball from the 80 s and 90 s to todays basketball
@@MrBodin26 At that time, slow Jokic could only wear towels and an imprecise Doncic with a funny percentage of shot would warm the bench as the last option. At that time, there was not much Europeans in the NBA or they were trusted as they are today. So it's stupid to compare today's basketball with the one. After all, when Doncic and Jokic do what Kukoc in Europe did in Europe, they can in the same sentence with Kukoc. Three times the European Champion with one Yugoplastika, a kid at the age of 18. And about a national career not to talk.
