The Bulls wing in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame just got a bit more crowded on Sunday, as it was announced that Toni Kukoč will be inducted into the Class of 2021 by the Hall of Fame’s International Committee.
“When Toni joined the Bulls in 1993, he had already established himself as one of the best players ever to come out of Europe,’’ Bulls Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf said in a statement. “While we knew what kind of player he was, we were not sure how he would adapt to the NBA. He quickly proved that his game was suited to play with the best players in the world. He was a star player on his championship teams in Europe, and one of the best sixth men in the NBA on our second three-peat championship teams in Chicago. There are not many players in the history of the game who have excelled at the level that Toni has.’’
