Koncak received a six-year, $13 million contract from the Hawks in 1989 – an unprecedented total for a reserve. Since he was a restricted free agent at the time, the Atlanta Hawks matched this offer from the Detroit Pistons. As a result, he earned the derisive nickname Jon Contract.^[1][2]

On February 23, 2008, SMU retired Koncak's jersey.^[3] Koncak is an Eagle Scout.^[2]

Koncak also won a gold medal at the 1984 Summer Olympics as a part of the US men's basketball team.
