Few players in basketball history can boast a resume like Toni Kukoč before even stepping into the NBA. With Jugoplastika Split, he won three consecutive EuroLeague titles between 1989 and 1991 and was named Final Four MVP twice. Later, with Benetton Treviso, he continued to dominate Europe.
Joining the NBA in 1993, Kukoč became a key part of the Chicago Bulls’ second three-peat, playing alongside Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. In 1996, he won the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award, proving his value as one of the best bench scorers and playmakers in the league.
Kukoč was a true pioneer, a tall, skilled forward who could shoot, pass, and dribble like a guard. His success paved the way for future generations of versatile European stars.
