Out of the Box: Toni Rocak Continues Unique Basketball Journey at UC San Diego

There's a jersey that hangs proudly on the wall of Toni Rocak's dorm room, and it's one that you may not see very often. It's a Toni Kukoc Croatian national team jersey, a player with whom Rocak shares more than just a first name. There's a shared Croatian ancestry and deep family connection, as Rocak's mom used to go to Kukoc's games when he was playing in Split, Croatia before his jump to the NBA in the early 90's.
