About Jon Koncak

  • Jon Francis Koncak (born May 17, 1963) is a former American professional basketball player.
  • A 7'0" center from Southern Methodist University, Koncak was selected with the fifth pick in the 1985 NBA Draft by the Atlanta Hawks.

  • He retired in 1996 with career totals of 3,520 points and 3,856 rebounds. Though a reliable defender 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.
  • Since he was a restricted free agent at the time, the Atlanta Hawks matched this offer from the Detroit Pistons.
  • As a result, he earned the derisive nickname "Jon Contract".On February 23, 2008 SMU retired Koncak's jersey.
