Timeline
Darrell Kurt Rambis (Κυριάκος Ραμπίδης; born February 25, 1958) is a Greek-American former professional basketball player and coach who is a senior basketball adviser for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
As a player, he won four NBA championships while playing power forward for the Lakers.
Rambis was a key member of the Showtime era Lakers and was extremely popular for his hard-nosed blue collar play.
With his trademark black horn-rimmed glasses, Rambis complemented the flashy Hollywood style of the Showtime era Lakers.
Rambis played college basketball for the Santa Clara Broncos.
He graduated from Santa Clara University, where he played from 1976 to 1980, becoming its second-leading rebounder and all-time leading scorer with 1,736 points.
During his Santa Clara years, he was awarded the WCC Freshman of the Year and Conference Player of the Year as a senior.
As a senior in 1980, he was named the player of the year in the West Coast Conference (WCC).
Rambis was selected by the New York Knicks in the third round of the 1980 NBA draft, but began his career in Greece with AEK Athens before joining the Lakers.
He also played for the Charlotte Hornets, Phoenix Suns, and Sacramento Kings.
Rambis became a coach and has served as head coach for the Lakers, Minnesota Timberwolves, and the Knicks.
He also won two league championships as an assistant coach with the Lakers.
Rambis was born in Terre Haute, Indiana, into a family of Greek extraction.
His family moved to Cupertino, California in his preschool years; his number is retired at Cupertino High School.
Rambis was drafted by the New York Knicks as the 58th pick in the 1980 NBA draft, but he was subsequently waived by the Knicks.
He played in Greece in the Greek League for the club AEK Athens, under the name Kyriakos Rambidis.
Being of Greek descent, he also acquired Greek citizenship.
AEK won the Greek Cup in 1981.
He was re-signed by the Knicks in 1981 but never played a game for them.
His success as an NBA player started when he was signed as a free agent by the Los Angeles Lakers in 1981.
Rambis spent most of his 14 seasons in the NBA with the Lakers, winning championships in 1982, 1985, 1987, and 1988 as part of their Showtime teams.
During his playing days, Rambis was a favorite among the Lakers fans because of his status as an overachieving underdog and ultimate team player.
Known for his defensive and rebounding skills, he was remembered in Los Angeles for his all-out effort and willingness to do the "dirty work" that many players do not embrace.
Rambis usually wore a thick moustache and thick-rimmed black glasses, prompting Lakers announcer Chick Hearn to nickname him "Superman" (in reference to the character's alter ego, Clark Kent).
At the Lakers home arena a "Superman" fan club (also known as Rambis youth) was formed where the courtside spectators wore glasses styled similar to the ones used by Rambis.
Lakers head coach Pat Riley once complained to a reporter "Other guys have sharp Adidas bags. [Rambis]'s got this black Satchel, like the kind you would have a bowling ball in. And it's, like, vinyl. He doesn't ever bring a garment bag or a suitcase. That's all he ever brings, could be a week."
Rambis also played for the Charlotte Hornets, Phoenix Suns, and Sacramento Kings before returning to the Lakers for the 1993–94 season.
Rambis began working as a special assistant coach for the Lakers in 1994 but eventually returned to the active playing roster in February 1995.
He retired as a player with the Lakers in 1995.
He was waived at the beginning of the 1995–96 season and resumed his role as an assistant.
He served as head coach of the Lakers during the 1999 "lockout season" after coach Del Harris was fired.
He achieved moderate success, registering a 24–13 record in the regular season before being swept by the San Antonio Spurs in the 1999 Western Conference Semifinals.
When Phil Jackson was hired as head coach, Rambis served as the Lakers' assistant general manager.
He later became an assistant coach under Jackson between 2001 and 2004, helping the Lakers reach the 2002 and the 2004 NBA Finals, with Los Angeles winning a title in the former series.
He was hired again as an assistant in 2005, along with former player Brian Shaw, helping the Lakers to another pair of finals in 2008 and 2009.
The Lakers won in the latter attempt.
In 2007, Rambis interviewed for the Sacramento Kings' coaching job.
His No. 34 was retired on December 29, 2008.
He was a finalist again in 2009 to coach the Kings, and after serious discussions, he was offered the job, but he wanted more than a two-year contract and more money than was offered, so he turned down the job.
On August 8, 2009, Rambis was announced as the new head coach for the Minnesota Timberwolves, agreeing to a contract believed to be for 4 years and worth $8 million.
