Milwaukee Bucks: Every Olympian In Franchise History
By Adam McGee
Toni Kukoc (Yugoslavia, Croatia) – 1988, 1992, 1996 Olympics
Toni Kukoc is the first player to make our list who was lucky enough to play in multiple Olympic Games, and he certainly made the most of his opportunities.
As a 19-year-old, Kukoc was a part of the Yugoslavian team who picked up a silver medal in Seoul. Four years later, Kukoc lined out for the then independent Croatia, once again picking up a silver medal in Barcelona. Kukoc played his final Olympics in 1996 when Croatia lost to Australia in the quarter finals.
Kukoc averaged 11.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game through his 22 games of Olympic play. His best performance came in a loss to Lithuania in 1996 when the Split native posted 33 points, 11 rebounds and six assists.
In an illustrious NBA career, Kukoc won three NBA titles with Michael Jordan‘s Chicago Bulls, while also spending time with the Hawks, 76ers and for the final four seasons of his career, the Bucks.
