Kirk Hinrich Biography

Kirk Hinrich is one of the most popular and richest Basketball Player who was born on January 2, 1981 in Sioux City, Iowa, United States. He rejoined Derek Rose on the Chicago Bulls in 2012.

As a high school senior, Hinrich was named the 1999 Co-Iowa Mr. Basketball, along with future college teammate and roommate Nick Collison. Hinrich originally committed to play basketball at Iowa State but when the coach at the time, Tim Floyd, took the head coaching position for the NBA’s Chicago Bulls, Hinrich changed his mind and decided to attend the University of Kansas. Hinrich helped Kansas to consecutive Final Fours in 2002 and 2003, his junior and seniors seasons. He was drafted by the Chicago Bulls with the seventh pick in the 2003 NBA Draft, where he earned the nickname “Captain Kirk.” Hinrich is the Bulls’ all-time leader in three-point field goals. After seven seasons with the Bulls, he had short stints with the Washington Wizards and Atlanta Hawks before returning to the Bulls in 2012. In 2016, he was traded back to the Atlanta Hawks.

Hinrich was selected by the Chicago Bulls in the 2003 NBA draft with the seventh overall pick, resulting in mild surprise because he had been expected to be a mid to late first-round draft pick. Some doubted that his college game would translate successfully to the professional league, in part because he played shooting guard for his final two years in college and was considered too small to play that position professionally. Hinrich’s high selection in the draft is credited to a good workout in front of NBA team scouts. The Bulls needed a point guard, as Jay Williams was severely injured in a motorcycle accident. After being picked by the Bulls, Hinrich said he knew they had a need at point guard:

He had two daughters, Kyla and Kenzie, with wife Jill Fisher.

He had one of his best years in 2007, when he was named to the NBA All-Defensive Second Team.

Hinrich started an exhibition game against Lithuania on August 13, 2006 and scored 10 points and 2 steals in a US win. After the game, Hinrich was asked about starting the game. He responded, “We’re playing in groups right now. I know when I get my time, I just try to make the best of it, make sure our team is successful. It’s one of those deals when you play in groups in spurts like that, it’s a little bit tougher. But, you don’t hold back and give it everything you got because you know you’ll be rested a lot.”

In July 2006, Hinrich was officially named to the U.S. national basketball team that would compete in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. He was initially invited to participate in February 2006, but declined due to the pressure of making a decision in the midst of a competitive NBA season with the Chicago Bulls. After his 2005–06 season ended, however, Hinrich changed his mind and accepted a spot on the team’s roster. Hinrich said of the incident:

In his third year in the NBA, Hinrich’s field-goal percentage went up to 41%, although his three-point shooting accuracy fell to 35%. His career free throw shooting average is 80.5%, making him one of the better free throw shooters on the Bulls. The team traded away Antonio Davis and Eddy Curry in the off-season and the team struggled until making a late-season run to gain the seventh seed in the playoffs where they faced the eventual champs, the Miami Heat, in the first round. It was in the third game of the series that the Heat’s James Posey shoulder tackled Hinrich, as he ran the fastbreak. Hinrich ended the 2005–06 season averaging a career high 15.9 ppg, a team-high 6.4 apg, and 3.6 rpg, while shooting a career high 41.8% from the field and a then career high 81.5% from the free throw line. He was the only member of the Chicago Bulls to average more than one steal per game in the 2005–06 campaign.

When Hinrich’s teammate Ben Gordon heard Riley’s comments, he came to his defense stating “I heard him saying something about Kirk. Posey’s was way more blatant. I don’t think Kirk did anything. He was just playing aggressive defense. Kirk didn’t do anything dirty. I don’t appreciate him taking shots at our guys.” Sports Illustrated columnist Chris Mannix called Riley’s comments “on the border of hypocrisy” while maintaining that Hinrich’s grab of Wade’s wrist, while illegal, was not a dirty play. “For starters, the play itself hardly qualifies as dirty. That was not the word Riley chose, but it was certainly what he insinuated. Illegal, yes. But dirty?” “Hinrich had no intention of hurting Wade. He didn’t grab his wrist and twist it. He didn’t chop down on it with his other hand.” He went on to describe plays like that commonplace in the NBA, while calling Posey’s foul on Hinrich during the 2006 playoffs dirty. “Dirty was the cheap shot that James Posey delivered to Hinrich when he leveled the guard with a body check during last season’s playoffs.”

Hinrich suffered an acute viral infection shortly before the beginning of his first season, requiring months to fully recover. However, he played well after his recovery, showing a continued good grasp of fundamental skills, solid playmaking, leadership, and a surprising defensive intensity. He solidified his position as the Bulls’ starting point guard and was named to the NBA’s 2004 All-Rookie first team. He held the distinction for being the only rookie during that season to record a triple-double, with 11 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists versus the Golden State Warriors on February 28, 2004. During this same season, Hinrich’s shot accuracy inside the three-point line (38.6 percent on field goals) was actually poorer than from behind it (39.0 percent on three-pointers). Hinrich was named to the NBA’s “Got Milk? All-Rookie First Team” along with Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Chris Bosh. He was also awarded the Bulls’ Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award or Player of the Year award (POY) for the 2003–04 season.

Hinrich improved his stats in shooting and scoring during the 2006–07 season, his fourth in the NBA, with career highs in field goal, 3-point field goal, and free throw shooting percentage, as well as a career high 16.6 ppg. However, Hinrich’s assists average was the lowest of his career and he also grabbed the fewest rebounds per game of his career.
