About Toni Kukoc, Hall of Famer

Toni Kukoč, a Croatian native born in 1968, became one of the first established European stars to break into the NBA. After dominating European basketball with multiple EuroLeague championships and MVP awards, he joined the Chicago Bulls in 1993. Playing multiple positions despite his 6'11" frame, Kukoč earned the 1996 NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award and won three consecutive championships with the Bulls (1996-1998). Known for his exceptional basketball IQ, versatility, and passing ability, he played for four NBA teams through 2006. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2021 and now serves as special advisor to the Bulls' owner.

Did you know? Kukoč hit a 23-foot fadeaway jumper at the buzzer to win Game 3 of the 1994 Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Knicks after coach Phil Jackson called the play for him instead of allowing Scottie Pippen to take the shot, causing Pippen to refuse to re-enter the game.
