Saying Goodbye

Toni Kukoc was a great player and will be missed. I wish him well in all his future endeavours.

Favorite Kukoc Moments

My favorite Toni Kukoc moment was on January 21, 1994 when the Bulls were home playing the Pacers. Reggie Miller sank a jumper with two seconds left and felt the need to go to center court and take a bow to the Chiago stadium fans. This put the Pacers up by one. But, with .8 seconds left Kukoc made a shot of his own and won the game. Granted it was a bank shot-- It's still a great moment because it rubbed the shot miller made in his face. As a side note: 24 hours later Bulls and Pacers played again only this time at the Market Square Arena and the Bulls won 90-81. Pippen goes to center court and bows to all the leaving Pacer fans.. lol

Kukoc Dedication

Toni Kukoc Is Retiring!!!!
It looks as though one of my favorite players, Toni Kukoc, is retiring. He said he would retire if he couldn't get on either the Milwaulkee Bucks or his old team Chicago Bulls for the 2006-2007 NBA season. There are other resources on the internet referencing this, but the last place I saw this was on wikipedia @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toni_Kuko%C4%8D .


I put this blog up for those who are fans like myself who wish to discuss some of their favorite moments of Toni's career, share pictures, videos, or who just want to say that they'll miss a great player.
