Darrell Steven Griffith (born June 16, 1958), also known by his nickname Dr. Dunkenstein, is an American former basketball player who spent his entire professional career with the Utah Jazz of the National Basketball Association. He played collegiately at the University of Louisville. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest college basketball players of all time.
However, the team changed dramatically in the mid-1980s with the emergence of Karl Malone and John Stockton as Utah’s top offensive weapons. Dantley was traded away and Griffith suffered from injuries. (“Dr. Dunkenstein was paying his toll”, he once said in an interview.) He missed the entire 1985–86 season due to a stress fracture in his foot, and would lose his starting position when he returned. Griffith would need an operation on his left knee in March 1988, causing him to miss the remainder of that season. He managed to re-claim his starting spot for most of the 1988–89 season, but lost it permanently the following year. His playing time gradually decreased until his retirement in 1991. He scored 12,391 total points over the course of his 10-year professional career – all with the Jazz. The franchise recognized his contributions by retiring his jersey number 35 on December 4, 1993.
