May 11, 1991 - Despite being drafted 29th overall by the Chicago Bulls in 1990, Toni Kukoc remained in Europe until the 1993-94 season, earning back-to-back EuroLeague Finals MVP awards in 1990 and 1991 with KK Split before signing with Benetton Treviso, where he was once again named EuroLeague MVP in 1993.
Kukoc finally arrived in Chicago for the start of the 1993-94 season, the first season following Michael Jordan's initial retirement. In Jordan's absence, Kukoc took advantage of his opportunity to develop at the NBA level alongside Scottie Pippen, acclimating into a critical supporting threat in the Bulls' second three-peat championship run between 1996 and 1998.
