After being drafted by the Chicago Bulls in 1990, Toni Kukoč continued to play in Europe, where he would become the EuroLeague’s Final Four MVP three times, until finally reporting to the Bulls in 1993.

Upon Jordan’s return, Kukoc eventually ended up being part of another three-peat for the Bulls, while winning the NBA’s 6th man of the year award in 1996.

In a new documentary about his life and career, Kukoc now opened up about how he already admired his future teammates before he joined the Bulls, and even sacrificed his wedding night in order to watch the Bulls play the Suns in the NBA Finals.
