Rik Smits

Rik Smits is a retired NBA player.   He earned his nickname "The Dunkin Dutchman" by being Dutch...and dunking.  The dunking part wasn't much of a challenge since Rik was 7'4".  He spent his whole career (1988-2000) with the Indiana Pacers, earning one NBA All-Star appearance.

Here's a fun little low-def highlight reel with an unexpected soundtrack

    Sorry for the false alarm if you saw this show up yesterday on the reader or anything. I went to schedule and accidentally posted it for a minute.

    I have fond memories of Rik growing up. He had some good battles with Patrick Ewing if I recall.

    I had totally forgotten that he was Dutch. In my head I think I had him pegged as Scandinavian -- "The Dunkin' Dane," I guess? Doesn't have quite the same ring to it...
