Jon Koncak appreciation thread

RM Legend · 12-27-2007, 10:07 PM

Jon Francis Koncak (born May 17, 1963 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa) is an American former professional basketball player. A 7'0" center from Southern Methodist University, Koncak was selected with the 5th pick in the 1985 NBA Draft by the Atlanta Hawks. Koncak spent ten seasons with the Hawks (1985-1995), mainly in a reserve role, then concluded his career with the Orlando Magic. He retired in 1996 with career totals of 3,520 points and 3,856 rebounds.

Though a reliable defender and fan-favorite for much of his career, Koncak is perhaps best remembered for the six-year, US$ 13 million contract he received from the Hawks in 1989 - an unprecedented total for a reserve. The deal was roundly criticized since it paid Koncak more than Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. His large contract prevented the Hawks from taking part in any other major free agent signings for several years. As a result, he earned the derisive nickname "Jon Contract", and many sports anchors continue to use Koncak's name in place of the word "contract" ("The Seattle Supersonics signed Jim McIlvaine to a $35 million, 5-year Koncak today...") when reporting what appears to be an excessively large signing. Koncak is blamed for the rapid salary increases that occurred in the NBA following his signing [1].

Koncak is also an Eagle Scout.[2]

He should have replaced David Robinson in the Dream Team.

Koncak would've made those games bigger blowouts then they already were.

Even mentioning Konack's name alongside such scrubs as Lawerence Moten, Anderson Hunt, Priest Lauderdale, and Bo Kimble is an insult to a true legend like Jon Konack. Not only was he one of the greatest centers but a great man as well.

Mark Eaton had one of the greatest beards ever in the NBA. He was a lumberjack come to life and was truly the REAL highlight reel of his day.
