Toni Kukoc is one of the few players in history to be a legend in both the NBA and EuroLeague. Kukoc won the silver medal in back-to-back Olympic games in 1988 and 1992, the first with Yugoslavia and the second with Croatia once Yugoslavia split up.

He was so good in a losing effort against the original Dream Team that Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen pushed the Bulls to trade for his rights, and the Croatian Sensation joined the Bulls for the second threepeat in 1996 through 1998, coming off the bench at first and taking on a bigger role in the final season. Kukoc was a nifty passer with a sweet shot, a versatile forward that could play any position on the court.
