Background
Samuel Bruce Perkins (born June 14, 1961, in Brooklyn, New York) is a retired American professional basketball player, also known by the nickname "The Big Smooth." Sam Perkins was named VP of player relations for the Indiana Pacers with whom he played with from 1999-2001. The Dallas Mavericks chose him with the fourth overall pick in the 1984 NBA Draft, one slot after the Chicago Bulls drafted Michael Jordan. Perkins has both NCAA championship ring and an Olympic gold medal, and reached the NBA Playoffs in 13 of his 15 pro seasons. Perkins developed into an outside player in the latter stages of his career, a center who could hit the three-point shot and pass out of the high post.
