![TONI KUKOC | TOP 4 Buzzer Beaters+Pippen gets angry on Kukoc! [Hall of Fame] 2021](/img/n.gif)
Toni only guy in history that has tree peat in Euroleague and Nba!!
And national team
Tony has a disgusting medal collection. How he isn’t in the HOF blow my mind lol
Still it is not enough for HOF! This blasts me away
Yugoplastika Malikovic
@@xxxxxJAYMILLZxxxxxxx 2 or 3 days ago he is officially a HOF.
Toni is one of under appreciated players of all.
Kukoc particapted in many shots thats why they win in 3 peat during 96-98
Tony Kukoc is superb in perimeter shooting. He is one of the greats. He was part of the Chicago Bulls 90's dynasty. He was one of the great players I admired playing along side the GOAT Michael Jordan.
The Waiter.... Pink Panther....Croatian Sensation...one of my favorite players from back in the day.... even met him once, cool as ice
Did you take a selfie with him lol
@@jessejames8774 nope, no selfies back in '01
People that only follow the NBA and dismiss Toni is HOF caliber player have no clue who Toni was and all he accomplished. He was European league club champion 3 years in a row and was MVP every time! Domestically he was Yugoslav league champion 4 times in a row with Jugoplastika. Nationally he is 1990 basketball World Champ (MVP of the championship), 1991 European Champ (MVP of the championship), 2 times Olympic silver medalist (1988 & 1992), once with Yugoslavia, once with Croatia. He is 3 times NBA champ, 6th man of the year... the list is absolutely stunning. The only reason he started from the bench is because he played for the MJ's and Pippen's Bulls. He would have been a starter for most teams and even franchise player for many
Facts brother!!
one of my fav players of all time.
but why his career stats so low compared to other hof?
Facts he’s an underrated player , even mj and pippen felt a little threaten with his talent.. they had to see it with their own eyes
Kukoc is definitely not hall of fame worthy
The thing that really set Kukoc apart was his vision and playmaking ability, which is not highlighted here. He was called "The Waiter" for a reason. He was a great and willing passer who always made the right basketball play.
Finally a really Bulls fan or someone who knows their history ether way thank you! So many people are just MJ fans and not actual fans of the team
Jud buchler, dicky simpkins, bill wennington, Randy brown
NonyaBusiness! You’re a tough critic: he had to share the ball with MJ and Pippen.
If he would of gone to a shity team and been option number 1 he would pretty much be like a Gallinari or maybe even Luka type player, if he had the ball in his hands more.
pretty much a point foward.
I could easily see Kukoc getting 20-25pt 5ast 7reb a game average back then or even in today’s game.
He’s 6’11 with the abilities of a perimeter player, Prototype of the current players.
@NonyaBusiness! You must not have watched him play much. He had a few of the slickest passes I've ever seen. My favorite was his drive going right to the bucket from the left wing and then a no look flip directly behind him to Horace for the dunk.
@@noah2339 he was better than luka and gallinari!!!!
Very talented! Would’ve fit great in today’s game as a stretch 4! Amazing how agile and smooth he was at 6’10”-6’11!
And he was much faster before coming to NBA. Bulls made him gain weight, and it slowed him down. He mentioned it as a big mistake. He would kill in today's NBA
If Drazen was the first European to appear in NBA Finals (1990), then Kukoc is the first European to win NBA Championship (1996). Induction to the Basketball HOF is long overdue.
Multi Euro and NBA champion to bad nobody puts any respect on his name he should have been in the HOF
If Drazen didn't die so young he would have been the best Euro player ever
No the first one was the Greek Kurt Rambis..
@NonyaBusiness! 14.6 ppg, 4.2rpg, 3apg, 40% for 3 pointer in his 14 year NBA career + 3× euroleague winner, 2× euroleague MVP, 2×Olympian silver ,2× world champion w national team, 2× European champion w national team,etc.... HOF is not only NBA you know.
@NonyaBusiness! its the basketball hall of fame. Not NBA hall of fame. lol
They literally missed like his 50 best plays, more like his lowlights rather then highlights🤔
Any link suggestion? Cant find much videos
Only one word...underrated legend..🙏
6 th man of the year or as I call it the kukoc award.. to me in 96 he epitomized what a 6 th man was.. when I think of 6 th man I think of kukoc ..
Most underrated player in the 90's. All time great player #7
The Pink Panther. The greatest European basketball player ever.
Delco Leskovski Better than Dirk?
Delco Leskovski Not even close..
Edwin most complète and skilled than Dirk for sure
Dirk had one unguardable move though thanks to which he built that extraordinary career
The most underrated basketball player ever.
No one will deny that this whiteboi had mad game!!!
Edit: This highlight reel does not do him justice - not by a long shot.
Unique talent
Kukoc was so talented. Could’ve been a superstar.
No he couldnt. The NBA was too physical for him back then.
Also he was team first..but on other hand he singlehandedly led Benetton to euroleague final
Toni Kukoč is a super star. He played in the best club in Europe and was the best (officially declared team) and in the best NBA team
The Indians of Chicago are two bronze equestrian sculptures standing at the entrance to Congress Plaza, in Grant Park, Chicago, USA. The sculptures were made in Zagreb by the Croatian sculptor Ivan Meštrović, and were erected in 1928. 🇭🇷 🌞🇺🇸
he was a great players. he should be Hall of fame.
LOL
Absolutely, list of what he achieved is stunning! People like this LOL guy have no clue who Toni was and all he accomplished. He was European league club champion 3 years in a row and was MVP every time! Domestically he was Yugoslav league champion 4 times in a row with Jugoplastika. Nationally he is 1990 basketball World Champ (MVP of the championship), 1991 European Champ (MVP of the champion), 2 times Olympic silver medalist (1988 & 1992), once with Yugoslavia, once with Croatia. He is 3 times NBA champ, 6th man of the year... the list is absolutely crazy! The only reason he started from the bench is because he played for the MJ's and Pippen's Bulls. He would have been a starter for most teams and even franchise player for many
@@AleksandarGospic the HOF, smart guy, is for accomplishments in an NBA career. It doesn't encompass what you have done in other leagues. Why this needs to be explained is hilarious. Sorry, no bench player averaging 11 ppg for his career is getting into the HOF. LOL.
Aleksandar Gospić exactly when you played for MJ and Scotty Pippin, your career will be minimized. MJ is the goat.
Len C. You’re an idiot. The hall of fame isn’t the nba hall of fame, it’s the basketball hall of fame. It includes everything from college ball to play overseas to the nba. Know your stuff before you comment. Also to be clear, Kukoc very much should be in the hall of fame
The Guy is a euroleague MVP for a reason.
I think, each today he was the franchising player in Bulls!
Smh
The first Luka 4 real
He is deserving of a spot in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame and should be in soon in addition to FIBA Hall of Fame. If Drazen Petrovic, Vlade Divac, Arvydas Sabonis, Sarunas Marciulionis are in...c'mon, you can't write one of the best European players ever to play in both EuroLeague and NBA without mentioning Kukoc.
He is Already in FIBA HOF.
Kukoc is now in thr HoF but he is not deserving.
This mans jump shot was so smooth my goodness
Kukoc, the OG unicorn
So underrated. People forget he was expecting to play with MJ his first season in Chicago but MJ did his 1st retirement. God bless this hidden gem.
If Toni Kukoc played in todays league he'd be an All-Star thatss for sure. He can score has a great jumper runs the floor, shoot 3'ssssss. . . Dangg I'd be honest I never know he was this good even when I checked his Stats is pretty impressing. I was born in the 90's but I never had a chance to watch Bulls Jordan era. . .
He doess no look passes, he does over the whole court passes, he does volleyball passes, behind the back passes, he shoots 3, he gets to the rim, he is clutch, he trows lobs, he is a team player....reminds you of anyone in today's NBA?
He would be MVP
The fact that a player, the calibre of Toni Kukoc is not a Hall of Famer today may be another way of minimising people around MJ just so he (MJ) can be elevated. Inducting KuKoc into the HoF would be tacitly admitting that that Chicago Bulls team was a super, duper team with with 4 of its starters in the hall of fame. That’s something we never get to highlight as we heap all these praises on MJ for winning three in a row.
Manis Themeasure yeah probably will just induct him in post humous. What a shame. Dino Radja is great but him over Kukoc on HOF, what you said is the only legit reason.
Tony was a class act and solid all around player who played a major part during his bulls tenure. And excellant passer which explained his nickname, "The Waiter".
Was a pleasure to watch his early career in chicago. He even had a handful of clutch performances his first year on the Bulls in the 93-94 season. Will never forget Reggie Millers premature bow to the Chicago fans with a second to go in the game thinking they won. LOL. Then Tony hit a dagger and had the last laugh. Pete Myers was dancing around after the regular season game as if the Bulls won the championship. Also he hit a buzzer beater I'm December that season to beat the Magic. Also of course we cant forget his .8 second buzzer beater to get the Bulls there first victory over the Knicks I'm game 3 1994 semifinals.. Tony deserves the Hall of Fame.
Toni is widely underestimated because of the era in which he played. He just couldn’t play that tough physical defense, but he was a terror on offense! He’s the OG Euro Star.
TONI KUKOC IS A LEGEND!
"Pink Panther" thats his nickname back here in Croatia.
When I first saw Luka, I said he reminded me of Toni.
In today's game he would be a superstar.
Those highlights doesn't do him justice or even adequately showcase his game...whatever else you can say about Kukoc he was one of the most versatile and highest bbiq big forwards in the game
I wachd the 90' games from 11pm till 3am , . ....he was a leader himself and the buzzer , . ...basta
Tony was alot better than this "highlights" indicitate. If you wanna check out how much better Tony really was there are plenty of other YT videos which shows that. He was most importantly one of clutchest player you ever saw coming from Europe not mention his passing was unreal.
A 6'11" SF who can run and shoot a 3 pointer, he was well ahead of the time:) a former euroscar, euroleague, eurobasket and fiba world cup MVP:))
He is so amazing
Probably the greatest role player ever. Ginobli & Horry come to mind as well.
these highlights suck. where are his behind the back passes, his buzze beating game winner vs ny. his dunk to end game 6 in 97 finals 🤦♂️
I have kukoc,joe dumars,malone,luc longley,ron harper,mutombo etc..nba trading cards until now.since 1995..and its my treasure..
Loved this guy growing up!
He was the 3rd option imo! He was a big factor for the 3peat no doubt!
No he wasnt. They won before hum.
Toni Kukoc will wreak havoc in today's NBA game.
The Croatian Sensation
the waiter
chicago bulls FULL of talented and skilled players not only one player like people are saying..
Toni was either cold or hot but never stupid.
Please... Playing from bench for probably the best team ever... He was so cool and intelligent... Pink Panther par excellence...
Toni Kukoč has a disgusting medal collection. How he isn’t in the HOF blows my mind lol
According Phil--- He felt bad because he was not able to utilize Kukuc complete talent. Certainly he can penetrate and plays ISO, a deadly shooter and underrated deffender.
Toni ♥️
Imagine having a taller Doncic coming off your bench. 25/8/8 easy today.
Toni was WAAAAAY nicer than this "highlight reel" smh & I'm from Detroit & I'm saying that🤷🏾♂️💯
He paved the way for all of the bogdonavic’s the Joe Ingles etc
The only man alive that looks good with a goatee.
kukoc. top 10 player in today's league.
Toni looks like ordinary average player here. And he was so much more than that. He was a POET on the court. Poetry in the motion. A pure genious and amazing pleasure to watch. He was MAGIC TONI. Better fix this clip mate.....Toni deserves much more....thanks for your good intentions though.....
He is the Luka Doncic of the 90s
Luka should emulate Toni Kukoc
I always liked when he scored. His form always made me assume he was hit or miss at times lol better than I remember as a kid.
who ever did this "highlight" should be ashamed of themselves
lovedubmusic IKR!
Merry Xmas Toni !
This highlight reel sucked. Very disappointed in you ESPN. Kukoc was a beast! He was pivotal in that 3 peat and you made him look like javale McGee getting lucky runners and put backs.
Kids the Croatian Sensation Toni Kukoc's nickname was "THE WAITER" for how GREAT of a passer he was! Don't know where any of his passes were in this video 🤣 whoever's made this video don't know about Toni's game or how GREAT of a player he was I mean MJ and Pippen are large shadows to see behind and this is why people fall for the media's lie that Mj did things alone and didn't have the best TEAM in the league 🤣
ikr
1994 Playoffs .. Eastern Conference Semifinals .. Game 3?????
Lmao worst highlight reel I’ve ever seen in my life
TONI KUKOC reminds me of PAU GASOL when he was in Memphis back then....
He was favorite Gasol player from the Bulls team.
Kukoc was a bad boy back in the day.
this team was unbeatable
Underrated gem.😶
I was so obsessed with the Chicago Bulls I used my first ever pay check to buy customized bulls gold earrings. Those were the days.
Kukoc is Doncic in this generation!
Kukoc would have NEVER had the kind of first 2 years that Doncic had. Lets stop with the hyperbole.
Xavier Vega cause NBA and its context are nowhere near the same.
Kucoc would thrive in today's less physical more spread out nba.
That Bulls bench was stacked. They can all shoot.
All the shoes are 🔥
Genius player,.....underrated
The Bulls would dominate any era. They had a very long team that could play modern position less basketball. They had depth, they could play suffocating defense, they had the greatest player who ever lived, the best rebounder and scottie who basically invented the point-foward position. Ron Harper was 6'6 Jordan 6'6 Scottie 6'8 Kukoc 6'10 Rodman 6'9
Rodman was 6'7"
@@absalom0412 Rodman 6'8" Kukoc 6'11"
I can’t believe I forgot about this guy. I just remember pippen, Rodman, bucheler , Kerr and Jordan
Kukoc today would be NBA MVP....i mean if Jokic can do it Kukoc is like a more mobile and skilled version of Jokic..
My third favourite player on the Bulls after Jordan and Rodman.
If u ain't got the rights then don't make the clip. Never seen the ball bounce on the rim this much in a HIGHLIGHT REEL! I'm not a Toni fan but the "Waiter" made the weekly NBA Action show on a regular base in his rookie season. Where's the "Reggie I took a bow too soon" shot? Where's the "Scottie don't wanna be a decoy" playoff shot? Where's the '98 East final behind the back pass to MJ, or the '96 finals heat check game. Come on ESPN!
only dude in history who looks like 3 different people throughout this whole highlight video
Should be in the HoF
You have a great point. Sixth Man of the Year, Olympian, NBA Champion, Euroleague MVP. He might be a bit more accomplished than Vlade Divac who was his teammate and he’s in the HOF.
He is already in the FIBA HOF
Even Dino Radja made it to the HOF.
@Jerry 85g The Naismith Basketball HOF is the sport's ultimate HOF
Enrique Grijalva that’s it. Toni Kukoc also was a big influence for basketball outside of the US and that’s a HoF criteria
Kukoc and Manu had equal importance in their respective team but Kukoc was not given the same accolade. His jersey was not even retired.
Hall of fame long overdue for Toni..
No one ever mentions kukoc. He was underrated and undervalued like pau Gasol.
This man did everything with that left hand
I remember in NBA Live game in Playstation 1, I setup my first 5 players Kukoc, Pippen, Kerr, Harper and longley. I always give the ball to Kukoc and Kerr and shoot in three. They're 3pt specialists. Lol!
Toni was a excellent 6 Man for sure gotta give the Late Jerry Krause credit for this one but the only down side is that he tried to replace Pippen with Kukoc
YEAH IM BALLIN, TONI KUKOC, IT‘S NO ROOF BRO
The Chicago bulls small five line up would beat GSW all day. Kukoc, Rodman, Pippen, MJ, Harper vs Draymond, KD, Igudala, Klay, Curry. The bulls can guard GSW but GSW can’t guard them. No one can check MJ, he would avg 45 pts against GSW.
People swear Jordan was by himself 💀 he had a super team for that time period. When he was by himself he was getting swept 1st rd
by your comment, I can tell you are Leflog fanboy.
MrDangelo7777 leflog? Lol how old are you, 13? I’m from chi town and mj did have a great team. He wasn’t lying
@@CG1224_ He had very little talent round him the first 3-peat and a stacked deck the second.
Trumpty Dumbty tru
@@RMT192 The first threepeat team was better than the second. Grant was perhaps the most underrated player in the league, better than Rodman and Cartwright was an underrated defender and could score if called upon and so was better than whoever played 5 on the second team.
The best 6th man to ever lace them up.
Is there a licensing issue? Because these aren't good highlights of Tony.
Super underrated, as is this highlight reel, come on baby hook the waiter up right. Missing lots of his defense, passing, all sorts of things.
All the real highlights arent in this video. He has so many buzzer beaters
Toni was the reason why they won 3 peat.
1996-1998 chicago bulls had the best players in the world of basketball
@centenario de oro becuase its so bias if everyone of the team would play in allstar. bro if you gonna watch the last dance the whole chi town is working together thats wht there are the best for me
Kd and a dirk ahead of his time 👏👏👏
Its arguable he couldve played point for Bulls like Magic making them more dominant. Unfortunately they went for smaller guards in a two guard front instead of a 1-3-1 offense or a 4 out they chose the triangle. Maybe part of that decision to take the ball out of his hands was how super defenders PIPPEN and Jordan undressed him in Olympic competition when he was still a skinny 6'9" kid. . He was seriously undervalued for his ball handling and passing.
Kukoc=$$$
This is not a good highlight reel, he had much more exciting plays than these.
The Proto stretch 4
one of the og stretch 4's
Mutombo almost fell lol, never been on the receiving end of an in and out of someone that size probably
