But in the mid-1980s, few of college basketball’s individual rivalries were more prominent or more heated than the one between Joe Kleine of Arkansas and Jon Koncak of SMU.
That was the Era of the Shaggy-Haired Hulking White Center, and Kleine and Koncak were considered the crème de la crème of the breed.
Koncak on Kleine’s demonstrative on-court persona: “Why does he have to do that stuff?” Kleine on Koncak: “Early in his career he said some really ignorant things.” Trash talk like that is truly not for the faint of heart.
