April 17, 2010 Report: Olympic Gold Medalist and NBA Player Jon Koncak

Jon Koncak was the fifth overall choice out of SMU in the 1985 NBA Draft.

Prior to being selected by the Atlanta Hawks, Koncak played on the United States Basketball team that won the golf medal at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.

Koncak signed a 3x5 index card for me and inscribed it with all of the pertinent details of that gold medal-winning team.

Koncak went on to play with the Hawks from 1985-1995, and he wound down his career with the Orlando Magic in 1995-1996.

Koncak, whose NBA career was largely that of a reserve player, did total 3,520 points and 3,856 rebounds.

The Fleer card here is from the Fleer Update series.
