After attending high school in his hometown, 6'6" Gondrezick played collegiately at University of Nevada, Las Vegas. A starter on the Runnin' Rebels' first Final Four team in 1977, his jersey #25 would be retired by the program twenty years later.[1]
Gondrezick was drafted by the New York Knicks in 1977, in the second round (26th pick overall). He competed in six NBA seasons, appearing for the Knicks (two years) and the Denver Nuggets (four), and averaging six points, four rebounds and one assist in 435 regular season matches.
Gondrezick later became a broadcaster for the UNLV basketball team, before dying of complications from heart surgery on 27 April 2009, at the age of 53; he had received a heart transplant in September of the previous year.[2]
Gondrezick's younger brother, Grant, was also a professional basketball player, and a shooting guard. He played two years in the NBA.
