Toni Kukoc Joins Bulls As Special Advisor 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Aug 17, 2015 5:51 pm

Toni Kukoc has been hired by the Chicago Bulls as a special advisor to Michael Reinsdorf.


“You only have to be around Toni for a few minutes to appreciate his personality, passion, and professionalism and recognize the contributions he will make to our team in his new role,” Reinsdorf said in a statement. “Toni will work across the organization and his duties will be wide-ranging. He will bring valuable perspective that comes with experience to many areas, whether it is relating to the international players on our team or sharing what it means to be a Chicago Bull when talking to partners and fans. Toni will be a strong representative of both the team’s legacy and its future.”


 


Kukoc won three titles with the Bulls during his seven seasons with the franchise.

those titles had a bit more to do with Jordan and Phil Jackson than Kukoc.

Translation: Toni is hard up for cash and Uncle Jerry felt bad.

Judging from that pic, he's advising Bulls management on where to get some good weed.

Fact is that momentum in games is a real thing, while not tangible itself, you can tangibly see the effect it has when teams are on runs and how it can dramatically effect the outcome of games when you can generate any momentum.

In Europe i`d take Saras, Bodiroga, Papaloukas or Navarro over him. Including NBA experience for sure he is over them.

Perhaps, actually I meant up to 92 when I stoped watching it.... :lol:
