  1. I grew up in my teens watching the Chicago Bulls wins championship after championship. Toni was an amazing part of that legacy.

  2. Toni was a class act on and off the court. He could have been a superstar on just about any other team. Instead, he made it about the team and not himself, and became a major role player on 3 championship teams. My hat's off to you, Toni. A role model we all can look up to.

  3. Still massively underrated, 6'11 point forward in early 90s, able to cover all 5 positions, extremely versatile, with exceptional technique, flair, shooting and court vision. His legacy and influence as a prototype is overlooked too often in stats-obsessed nowadays American basketball circles.

  4. I'm not trippin on that Pippen didn't like Kukoc i'm sure they were fine with each other, i'm simply respecting Pippen less as a basketball mind and really as a dude.

    I saw them play, not live but in that era on TV. Pippen was an amazingly good player, hard to describe to younger fans, but both of those guys are old players who were the perfect body types and game styles to make it in todays NBA and maybe even be much better than they were back then.

    But for Pippen to pout to the point of dissing his all time great head coach and actually not going out on the floor in a regular or post season game for the final play, all due to needing to be "the man" so badly?

    No. Sorry. I know moderns are used to the automatic empathy making excuses, etc etc. Yes, but it's one thing to UNDERSTAND how Pippen felt and another to agree that being that unprofessional is acceptable. (This is slowly how culture worsens, not gets better, btw.)

  5. After that Pacers game, my only wish was that Toni did the bows just like Reggie… but he not like that, so respect! lol

  6. That's BS that Jordon and pippen bullied him just to get back at Krantz, and Barkley going after a much smaller player on a International level no wonder they deemed us the ugly Americans , rhis dream team even the way they treated Latner was racist , who do these pituitary cases think they are., Makes me sick that they represented Americans

  7. Aww, man; so many good memories.

    I love that 96-98 Bulls team. And Kukoc was such an important player (best 6th man, crucial 4th quarter player, etc.). He was one of the first 6'11" players with an outside shot (and perimeter skills). Often overlooked by today's so-called pundits.

  8. Toni Kukoc = " The Croatian Sensation "

    That's what the local sports broadcasters called him during the Repeat-the-3-Peat days.
