I'm talking about the first game when he went 2/11 for 4pts and had 7 to's. Pippen and Jordan completely decimated him. They didn't give a shit the 2nd time they played as they had already destroyed him.

Kukoc's nicknames in Europe were The Pink Panther and The Waiter.
Spanoulis' nicknames in Europe are Kill Bill and Most Vassilis Player (MVP).
What you posted is made up bullshit by lying NBA only fans. No one in Europe ever called them that. Mother****ers like you just made that shit up and lied about it.
