Career timeline, milestones, and place among all-time greats.
The first European ever named an NBA All-Star, Detlef Schrempf built a 16-season career on a rare combination of size, ball-handling, and passing that predated the modern "point forward." Born January 21, 1963, in Leverkusen, West Germany. Height 6 ft 10 in (208 cm).
He moved to Washington state for high school before starring at the University of Washington (1981–1985). Drafted 8th overall by the Dallas Mavericks in 1985, he later played for the Indiana Pacers, Seattle SuperSonics, and Portland Trail Blazers.
A three-time NBA All-Star (1993, 1995, 1997), Schrempf won the Sixth Man of the Year award twice (1991, 1992) — becoming the first player to do so in a versatile bench role rather than as a pure scorer — and made the All-NBA Third Team in 1995.
Career totals: 15,761 points (13.9 ppg), 7,023 rebounds (6.2 rpg), 3,833 assists (3.4 apg) over 1,136 games.
He represented West Germany and Germany internationally and was later inducted into the FIBA Hall of Fame.
