Former Sixers F ranked among greatest European players of all time

Toni Kukoc, a former Sixers player, is widely regarded as one of the greatest European players in basketball history. After spending three championship seasons with the Chicago Bulls alongside Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, Kukoc briefly played for the Philadelphia 76ers. Acquired by the Sixers at the 2000 trade deadline, he appeared in 80 games before being sent to the Atlanta Hawks at the 2001 deadline.

During his time in Philadelphia, Kukoc averaged 9.8 points and 3.8 rebounds per game. HoopsHype recently ranked the top 50 European players of all time, placing Kukoc at No. 14 on the list. Known for his all-around skills, craftiness, and tenacity, Kukoc played a crucial role in the Bulls' three championship teams. However, his stint as the primary player for the Sixers after the Last Dance era was not as successful.

Despite his brief time with the Sixers, Kukoc's career with the Bulls, Hawks, and Milwaukee Bucks earned him a spot in the Hall of Fame. He also won the 6th Man of the Year award in 1996 with Chicago.
