Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you all for watching and support !
Nicknamed "the White Magic", "the Spider from Split", "the Pink Panther", "the Waiter", and "the Croatian Sensation", Toni Kukoč was one of the first established European stars to play in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He won the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award in 1996.
Kukoč was renowned for his versatility and passing ability; although his natural position was small forward, he played all five positions on the court with prowess and demonstrated court vision and an outside shooting touch that were seldom found in players of his height. Together with Vassilis Spanoulis, they are the only players in history to achieve the EuroLeague Final Four MVP honor on three occasions. He was elected to the FIBA Hall of Fame in 2017.
After being drafted by the NBA's Chicago Bulls in 1990, Kukoč continued to play in Europe, until finally reporting to the Bulls in 1993, when the team had just finished its first three-peat and had lost Michael Jordan to retirement. Although disappointed that he could not play with Jordan, Kukoč made his NBA debut on November 5, 1993.
The 6'11" (2.11 m) Kukoč came off the bench in 1993-94 behind small forward Scottie Pippen and power forward Horace Grant, though Kukoč could play shooting guard and center as well. On January 21, 1994, in a game against the Indiana Pacers, Reggie Miller made a mid-range jumper with 0.8 seconds remaining to give the Pacers a 95-93 lead. Scottie Pippen inbounded the ball to Kukoc, who hit a three-point jumper at the buzzer to give the Bulls the win, 96-95. Kukoč put up a solid rookie season, averaging double-digit scoring and earning a berth on the NBA All-Rookie Second Team.
On May 13, 1994, at the end of Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, the Bulls and the New York Knicks were tied at 102 with 1.8 seconds left. Bulls coach Phil Jackson designed the last play for Kukoč, with Scottie Pippen charged with inbounding the basketball. Pippen was so angered by Jackson's decision to not let him take the potential game-winner that he refused to leave the bench and re-enter the game when the timeout was over. Kukoč did hit the game-winner, a 23-foot fadeaway jumper at the buzzer, though the Bulls eventually lost the series in seven games.
After Grant left in the offseason, Kukoč moved into the starting lineup and finished the 1994-95 season second on the Bulls in scoring, rebounds and assists, behind Pippen. Furthermore, Michael Jordan would return to the Bulls in March, fulfilling Kukoč's wish to play alongside him.
For the 1995-96 season, the Bulls were bolstered by both Jordan's return to full form and the offseason acquisition of exceptional rebounder Dennis Rodman. With Pippen still at small forward, coach Phil Jackson saw it best to have Kukoč continue to be a bench player. Kukoč was third on the team in scoring (behind Jordan and Pippen) and was rewarded for his efforts with the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award. He also assisted the Bulls to a 25-game turnaround and the best record in league history at the time at 72-10 (later surpassed by the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors), as well as the fourth championship in team history. Kukoč was the 4th and is currently the last player to win the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award and the NBA title in the same year having joined Kevin McHale, Bill Walton, and Bobby Jones in accomplishing that feat.
In 1997 and 1998, Kukoč again came off the bench as sixth man as the Bulls won their fifth and sixth NBA titles. Once again, he was the team's third-leading scorer.

Probably the most underrated Bulls player ever.....He contributed quite a lot to the Bulls 🏆 years....And shame on the Bulls for not retiring his jersey after 7 yrs playing with them 😧😲
Underrated because during their 2nd 3-peat he was their 6th man and only started if Pippen, Longley, Rodman, or Harper were hurt (or if Rodman was suspended lol)
@@drlight6677 he finished, not started
Everyone plays basketball knows Toni Kukoc, that's how great he was.
I used to study Gymnastics in Zagreb that period and he was really my favorite. With Drazen of course. Greetings from Crete .... Ili malo bolje...... pozdrav od jednog Grka sa Crete .

WOW... with this resume, NO DOUBT...HOF
Shyt thts a lot... Euro HALL OF FAME FOR SURE
Upravo tako. Igracina! Jedini ``problem`` sto je bio u ekipi sa najboljim igracem sveta ikada. Pa treba neki ljudi da se opasulje i da vide velicinu ovog igraca. Jordanu svaka cast, i jeste najbolji, ali Kukoc VRHUNSKI igrac i zasluzuje svoje mesto.
Uhm... but he is white.....white as in European white.... We can't just let him in the HOF... Right? RIght?
Should be in the Basketball Hall of Fame.
Toni Kukoč - better than Hall of Fame criteria!
ja bi se na njih popisal , za mene osobno s Drezanom i Nowitzkim ionak najbolji za sva vremena
Not really. Only because they’ll let anybody in these days. And even then-his career numbers don’t really stack up. Unless you give him the #s from his days playing in Europe, which is far, FAR inferior competition than the NBA.
He was really good. And fun to watch. I was a fan & loved his style of play. But it come down to simple math: did he have Hall of Fame numbers?.... no way.
@@justinmix143 it is not nba hall of fame..mit is BASKETBALL HALL OF FAME..there are players in BHOF that did not even play in nba.
@@justinmix143 Bro shut up, there are international players in the HOF from that time period, some of which are Oscar Schmidt, Šarūnas Marčiulionis, and Krešimir Ćosić. Toni Kukoč arguably had a better resume than the 3 of them....
Toni Kukoc should have been a Hall of Famer a long time ago! He paved the way along, with Vlade Divac and Drazen Petrovic, for many international players to enter NBA. He is a modest “superstar” and very thoughtful man. Not having him recognized in the Hall of Fame is not a loss for Toni, but for the HF!
Thankfully he's in this year.
Maybe because he's too nice, but don't get it why people don't talk more about him. One of the best ever, on both sides of the Atlantic. Even better in his early years in Europe. That was beautiful to watch!
They dont want people to know Jordan had a sqaud
Cos the media only gloat about Jordan back in the day, and Jordan would only gloat about Jordan, with his ego and big speech, and overshadowed Toni's many glorifying games, or that Toni's importance in helping throughout 2nd 3peat run possible. Toni will always be my GOAT. Toni Kukoč always delivered!
Jordan and Pippen were assholes to Kukoc. They never are seen celebrating his clutch shots.
@@infamousmaxpayne Who is they? Kukoc was good 3rd scoring option nothing out of the ordinary, not the best 3rd scoring option of all-time.
@@blo2706 The people that are always trying to remind you that Jordan is the GOAT and had 2x 3-peats. They don't want you to know just how much of an impact scottie, and grant made in the first 3-peat and scottie + rodman, kerr, and kukoc in the second 3-peat.
Kukoc was a match up nightmare for opponents.
He was too big for guards and small forwards to stop and he was too smooth and too good of an outside shooter for the big men to keep up with.
Definitely one of the modern prototypes.
@@NS10Fan Was about to say he seems ahead of his time lol -- Stretch Big
He avg. 11 for his career. Plus those match up nightmares, it would've been a sequel of that nightmare on the other end of the court, because he couldn't guard any of those positions either. Hahahaha
Plus he was a lefty
Kukoc made a sacrifice when he went to Chicago. He could have stayed in Europe and remained a star he could have been a star on another team had they put him in a role similar to luka doncic but he wanted to play with his idol Mike and probably figured he'd have a good chance to win some rings which he did. However... It was at the expense of him being the star. He was a born playmaker and ridiculous with assists and super clutch. Had he been put in as a point guard he would have broke the triple double record easily yearly and all time etc and it would be hard to break. He would have been an all time great. But he accepted his role in Chicago. He wanted to be the best team not the best player. He would have elevated any team no matter what role and although they had him in the worst possible role in Chicago coming off the BENCH mostly and as a forward who they had gain weight he still shined and did enough and deserves for his sacrifice to be a hall of famer
As his career progresses, his role has changed from being the star player to being a mentor of the younger international players during his time in Milwaukee. Ersan Ilyasova wears number 7 because of Toni.
Mike wasnt his idol.. bulls drafted specificly him.
*"Kukoc made a sacrifice when he went to Chicago."*
Let's not pretend. Kukoc went to the NBA for himself. He wanted to prove to himself and the world that he wasn't just a big fish in a small pond but that he could succeed in the biggest pond of all and swim alongside the big fish there. I'm not criticising him for this. There's nothing wrong with doing that and he succeeded in doing it. Let's just not get romantic about his motivation.
Sounds similar to Klay Thompson in terms of greatness and sacrifice.... winners want to win
@@limaj8
*"winners want to win"*
That's a meaningless tautology, given that the desire to win is inherent in your definition of "winner".
The Croatian Sensation truly deserves to be in the Hall of Fame! BRING HIM TO THE HALL OF FAME!!
Quite baffling how Kukoc is not in the Basketball Hall of Fame yet, when Dino Radja somehow got inducted (2018). Nothing against Radja, who is quite accomplished himself in the International Basketball scene, but his NBA career pales in comparison to Kukoc, who enjoyed a much longer and more successful NBA career. Aside from the HOF snub, Kukoc's also deserves to have his No. 7 Bulls jersey retired.
I'm glad I could watch him play. He was quite entertaining, great player
I envy you so much ! 😀
@@BokiJuda I also watched him (few times live). And I have to be honest... He was so good that I actually hated him, especially when he was playing vs my favorite team. But there's no doubt he was one of the best ever. Easily top 5 best EU players in history.
HoF? I'm also sure he is better than at least half of players who already are in the HoF.
What's your favourite team ???
@@BokiJuda My home team, Zadar (Croatia). It's not a super great team, but it was legendary in Croatia and ex-Yugoslavia. It had some good seasons in Europe too, but not recently. Today it's on the edge of extinction.
Among many great players from Zadar, the biggest name is Krešimir Ćosić. An EU superstar at the time. He also earned his spot in the Hall of Fame.
@@BokiJuda By then, I was a fan of the Bulls, I was a fan of Jordan. Today? I follow several teams, not a preferred one tho. I do like the San Antonio Spurs way of conducting themselves. I just don't like Lebron James at all.
My man from Croatia and his brother Dino Radja and with Drazen Petrovic they are dream team from Croatia small country with big hearth. Cro Cop,Goran Ivanisevic,Janica Kostelic,Croatia football team,Zeljko Mavrovic i Mate Parlov,Stipe Miocic,Blanka Vlasic,Bozo Starcevic.....from small country with big hearth
Toni, my favorite ex-Yougoslavia player! Magician on the court!
Great video. #1 against Miller and the Pacers is priceless. Thanks for posting and reminding basketball fans what a great player he was. Definitely should be in the HOF.
Toni was nothing short of great the most slept on star from that time period. If he plsyed in todays nba and really let him play his game he would be mentiined with thd dirks of the world top 59 no doubt
When you know that Oscar Schmidt and Sarunas Marciulionis are hall of famers, Kukoc should obviously be as well....
Oscar schmidt is one of the best players of all time, why are you speaking as if hes just some random.
@@morpher728 They're saying that there are other international players that are in the HOF from that time frame. Kukoc should most definitely be in it considering in resume:

@@DrKub007 idk how you got to Noah, but I agree, it should have been Anthony Davis or Kawhi Leonard that year just bc they weren't slow as fuck and a 200% liability on offence.
the only player who doesn't have to play a single basket in the game and the game will be a game. Pink Panther.
I love this team and the coach they worked well.
..and he will be a Hall of Famer sooner or later, no doubt abou that. I already saw him playing in his early years with Split, it was obvious that he will become a star on both sides of the Atlantic. Loved him all his career, but most with the Bulls. I always wonder why people tend to talk about the "Big 3" in Chicago. Rodman was clearly a very important piece, the missing one since Horace was let go. BUT Kukoc was as important as Denis. He could carry the team, decide games, even when MJ and Pip did not have their best day. He was a walking mismatch on offense, could score a game winner at any time. I still remember vividly a game against the Lakers (must have been 96 or 97), where he simply took over in the 4th and won the all game trailing Bulls the game in overtime. He even scored a epic 3 over Shaq out of a fast break giving the Bulls the first lead..
#7 Play, although there are faster players/quick step versus Kukoc especially in current NBA but there's something about that play(steps) that makes it standout more for me.
Watching The Last Dance I got the impression that Tony didn't like Jordan and Pippen. His body language showed me he thought they were a bunch of arrogant assholes...
Being a great player like Kukoc and playing with big ego's like Jordan is something I couldn't have done. Kukoc would have been a 25 point avarage player on any other team.
Shut the fuck up? He got 3 rings out of it, didn't he? Gtfoh with that bull shit. Who really gives a rat's ass what impression you got?
It's not like Toni didn't like them, but Jordan and Pippen hated him. In one hand, MJ and Scottie were right, because Krause was paying Toni much more than Pippen, even tho Scottie was an established NBA superstar and the leader of Bulls at the time (after MJ went baseball). On the other hand, Toni wasn't guilty for that. The beef was between Krause and Pippen, so it wasn't fair Toni suffered Scottie's intolerance.
Pipen is most egoistic player ever, than come Jordan one bad psihopat, than toni macaroni kukoc good nice guy whit talent bether than this two egotripers and rasist.
It is not that he didn't like them, it was more from MJ and Pip who decided to be jerks and picked on him because to them with little knowledge of Eurobasket, Toni was just a white kid coming into their territory with better contract. Even those sports analysts and media underestimated him because they thought they knew better, even made up bullshit story that he himself never interviewed with them. I lived through that era being a fan myself , Toni endured all those things gracefully, and proved them wrong. And in the end, Toni was the one who made 2nd 3peat possible. No matter how goat Jordan was, without Toni in many crucial games, they stood no chance. He was the shark sent into the tank, because he was superb in offense, once you released him, it was a game on.
Yep, he reduced his play to fit into NBA style, so people didn't know how phenomenal he actually was. Being in the team with Jordan didn't help either. Having lived through those time with how media portrayed, no matter how incredible Toni was in many games, only thing they would focus more and put on headlines was MJ. Perhaps, it was marketing and many sponsors behind.
I actually find Toni played well along with Pippen, Rodman, Harper, Kerr. They were more natural together cos when MJ around, they sort of have to try to give MJ the ball. Pippen might act like a demanding kid sometimes, but I think he actually was a nice person, just having his moments. For Jordan, he was a good scorer because they would just feed him the ball, and MJ just dribbled in the area then shoot. The games were made for him to have more chance to score. But for all round player, I might be bias, but I think Toni was the best cos he had better court vision, plus, he can shoot, can pass, can dribble, can dunk. The sad part for me was Toni was too much of a low key and a nice person who didn't seek limelight nor spoke of his glory. Also, all the media attention was more like the whole team only had Jordan and Pippen. Sad but True..
He is from Dalmatia, city of Split. He enjoyed to play, believed in him self and didn't care about Jordans, Pippens, or all USA opinion. From the same city and area are Goran Ivanisevic, Ivano Balic, Luka Modric, Drazen Petrovic, Dino Radja, Kresimir Cosic, Blanka Vlasic, ... They respect everyone but aren't amazed by anyone.
Toni Kukoc deserves a monument infront of the basketball hall in Belgrade, The Pionir, as an only guest player who got the applause and chanting and btw he wasn't even a 20 years old. Period. Fuck the hall of fame. The best YU player ever. Period.
Tony had some amazing no look assists. His behind the shoulder dishes were nuts, similar to Magic.
Great player
One of the underrated ones, if you ask me
Boki I agree
The Greatest Team for three years 1996,1997 & 1998, with The Goat, MJ, the greatest pair, MJ and Pippin, the greatest Rebounder of all time Dennis Rodman and best or the greatest European Import to play NBA, Toni Kukoc. The other four are Hall of Famers but not Toni Kukoc. His exclusion from Hall of Fame induction will be a black mark for NBA.
He's made it this year!!!
Guy was a straight up winner! Scottie was tripping for being mad that Phil called the play for Tony.... even though Pippen was the man that year that was Tony's shot
Moral of the story: Do not bow yet as if the game has been won.
He could play, great international and NBA career. Deserves it.
Ice in his veins 🥶❄️❄️
The shot after Reggie Millar tossed himself off at how marvellous he was, is my favourite
It was a three pointer, at the death and the perfect riposte
The buzzer beater when Pip refused to go it, was damn close though
Great player
TONI KUKOČ LEGENDA
toni kukoc is great player ever. I loved him and thank you for this video.
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, really an underrated player and one of the important gears in the Bulls machine
Truly deserves to be in the hall of famer!
Finally he's a Hall of Famer know... We'll deserved
This Guy by himself literally destroyed Real Madrid on Euroliga from the three point line
Great video. I only played this game for two years. But it was the most difficult game that I ever played. I really enjoy watching unknown and new players of BB from across the globe. One of the few merry sports founded at behest of Uncle Sam.
Other cases for him in HOF:
-1995-96 6th man of the year
-1996 Finals was very close for three qtrs. Kukoc took over the 4th qtr and singlehandedly had the Bulls pull away for the 1-0 lead while MJ and Pippen sat some.
-He filled in nicely for injured Ron Harper in the games at Seattle helping them to the sounding 3-0 lead.
-Had two big 3s at start of 1996 Finals Game 6 to start distancing the Bulls from the Sonics even more winning the Championship.
-Game winning deflection on last play of 1997 Finals Game 5 to win the Championship.
-Kept the Bulls afloat in 3rd qtr of 1998 ECF Game 7 which they eventually won.
-Was arguably the Bulls second best player in 1998 Finals vs Jazz.
-1998-99 sure the Bulls were trash but Kukoc was the only main player left and carried them to a miraculously 13 wins (Harper and other Title role players were way past their primes).
-1999-00 Kukoc missed November and December due to injuries and the Bulls went 3-28. Kukoc came back in January and him and Elton Brand carried a bad team to 8-10 record (lots of those games on the vaunted West Coast trip which even dynasty Bulls struggled with so they were pretty much .500) until he got traded in February.
-Was the much needed second scorer Iverson needed and Philly was foolish to trade him away. They could've competed much better with Lakers. Iverson lacked scoring help.
This is the shot dedicated to Hall of Fame directly - IN YOUR FACE.
He saved bull during each playoff from 1996 to 1998. Without him, bull would lose to Magic in 1996, to NY and to Indiana in next two years.
No Kukoc didn't save the Bulls LMAO, Kukoc shot 39% & 36% in the Playoffs in 96 & 97. 98 Kukoc had a good run in the r.s. & p.o.
tell you a secret...Toni is a hall-of-famer already...has been since 2017...FIBA Hall of Fame...that is not a small achievement...PS hhitting buzzer beater shots shows the quality of a player...but given the minutes he got whilst in the NBA, I'd rather revel in those matches of the Yugoslavian league, where you could enjoy him on the floor for 30 minutes and more, that was a festival! and he had players to work with, then at Jugoplastika
Has anyone been dunked on by a Bull more than Patrick Chewing? HAHA
Toni kukoc should be in the hall of fame he is a champion...who was a top road player you need players like him to win playoffs and championship...
His passing was remarkable also
Yes, I was thinking some of his dimes would be in this video. He was an excellent passer!
The best buzzer beater ever
nije vazno sto nije nije najbolji svih vremena u hrvtatskoj. on je u Petorci svih vremena i YU!
Baš ga j..u bezveze.
Svi vec godinama govore da je zasluzio uci u HOF, a stvarno je. Toni je veliki igrac ...
@@hrvojeknezovic pa stvarno je zaslužio, jer ima tamo imena koja ni blizu nisu imala takve kvalitete i karijeru. A on je ubijao u klubovima, reprezentacijama i NBA. Legenda, skroman i potpuno normalan tip, veliki respekt iz Srbije.
@@nikolatodorovic3663 slazem se...
Everyone knows Toni Kukoc should be in the Hall Of Fame. What, why are they talking so long?
His passing ability is also HOF worthy!
The latest video the NBA released last week is the best so far, does him justice at long last.
Beautiful people and beautiful game ..I love no 4
I love Tony to this day to this day to this dayyyyyayayayay
I dunno why he is not in the hall of fame
He is amazing
Haha that 3 against the Pacers was so savage!
Looks like he missed the shot, but it went in hahaha
Awesome video 😁
VOTE Toni " the Croation Sensation" KUKOC into the NBA HOF!!!👍💪🏀
Best all around player similar pippen. He was 2,11 left handed and he was playing from 1 to 5 easily. No one like him in this style of game. Unfortunately from NBA best players must be strong athletes and technical criteria is no so importand
All I know is I grew up hearing Chicago Bulls as a great team.
He was super talented. Could have been a perennial all-star, but had a reduced role playing behind MJ and Scottie.
I always liked the nickname "The Waiter" because he really does look like a waiter at the Olive Garden or something lol
Yeah and Tony really SERVED their opponents.
Great player. He is 👍
Amazing shots 👌
Thank you 🙌
I agree, he is one of the most accomplished European basketball player winning multiple awards in the Euroleague, NBA and the Olympics. He should be inducted in the Naismith Hall of Fame in a few years. I just don't know why he gets snubbed multiple times. He was an entertaining basketball player of his time.
Wow.. amazing shots 😉😉😉what a man!!!
Nice. I enjoyed
Simply a genius
Throwing away trash and saying kukoc in my adolescent years ...great times
He was the best
Kukoc: Get out my way Miller, last shot is mine
Artist which play basketball better than many of them...
Love this. What a player. Only came to know of him from the last dance series on Netflix
Kukoc is the Robert Horry of the 90ths...just as clutch as clutch gets...
One of the greatest!
He should be in a Hall Of Fame...
3 Championship with the Bulls...
Ya born winner
Wow nice and cool moves
All my favourite, love basketball so much
Great video
If Kukoc had been favored like American players, he would clearly have been the GOAT.
Hell nawl 😂
Bullshit.
GOOD JOB
The dunk on Patrick was the best
Good video
So Great!!! So Humble!!!
Wow...Nice vlogg.. I really love basketball ❤💕
Omogosh that swish of a 3 pointer at 02:00 was very pleasing to the eye! Do you play much basketball?
Used to play a lot more when I was training, now just seldom unfortunately...
Toni "The Croatian Sensation" for a reason, although people believe that Drazen Petrovic was way better due to his work ethics, might make a video about him also
@@BokiJuda Dražen was a fanatic and incredibly dedicated to basketball, he trained for 6-8 hours daily and was a perfect machine. If the tragedy had not happened, I'm convinced that he would have played actively until the age of 40. On the other hand, Toni Kukoč is probably the most naturally gifted player that appeared in the former Yugoslavia. He is something like Jesus in this part of the world - every tall player that can pass is compared to him and his second coming is awaited.
I highly doubt that Dražen would play until 40, which would probably make him the first SG to play all the way to his 40th birthday.
No dispute at all, Dražen was "notorious" in Šibenik for stealing the janitor's key and using the local gym from 4-5 AM and playing basketball for at least 6 hours straight, no wonder he was "The Mozart of Basketball".
He deserves it even without playing in the NBA
He IS in the hall of fame
The shadows of Jordan and Pippen were too heavy...
Underrated player of all time, something like di caprio in oscar ceremony😆
nice player..
Nice game
The best
It happened ❤️
It’s Really Cool 😎
Toni Toni Toni Kukoč Kukoč 👏👏👏
A 6'11 guy who plays like a guard. Too fast for the big guys and too big for the guard. He can play inside and outside. He play like today's NBA. Can anybody explain to me why Toni Kukuc is not in the Basketball Hall of Fame?
This video proves why Phil Jackson needed to go to.Kukoc on that playoff game against the Knicks
Big fan of u man
A Hall of Famer indeed
He did hit some huge shots while pippin was busy complaining on the bench.
