Upon his signing for Perak, coach Steve Darby described Kukoč as "a solid player who is good in the air, very intelligent and very experienced".^[2] His assured performances confirmed Kukoč's status as a fan favourite. While at Perak, he was affectionately nicknamed Cookie by their fans.

Kukoc requested, and was subsequently granted, a release at the end of the 2007 season as he wanted to get married.^{[citation needed]}
