Apart from being an exceptional basketball player, Rodman was quite renowned for his off-the-court activities, which added a different color to his personality.

When talking about Kukoc, the former NBA star was one of the best players from the European subcontinent who debuted for the Bulls in 1993. He played there for seven years and won three championships with them.

In the span of that seven years in the Bulls, he made quite a lot of friends, including Dennis Rodman. Thanks to his friendship with Rodman, Kukoc went on to party with Rodman, which ended up in a different way.

Toni Kukoc on why he vowed to never party again with Dennis Rodman:

A few years back, Toni Kukoc opened up in an interview about an unforgettable night with Dennis Rodman. Kukoc began by saying it was a different experience at the party. In his own words, Kukoc was unable to keep up with the Worm. Subsequently stated the reason behind his vow to not party with him again. Kukoc said, “I partied only once with him because, after that, you need a seven to 10 days recovery period afterward.”
