Kirk Hinrich is a son of Jim and Nancy Hinrich, and grew up in Iowa, where he went to Sioux City West High School. When he was seven-years-old, Kirk’s father introduced him to basketball and sent him to play at the summer camp against older children; Kirk played well, so he later participated in the camp for younger teenagers.
He then studied at the University of Kansas, where he played basketball for the Jayhawks and won the Clyde Lovellette Most Improved Player Award in his freshman year. Kirk and Nick Collison led the Jayhawks to the NCAA semi-final in his junior year, while in his senior year, Kirk helped Kansas to reach the NCAA Men’s Championship Game, where they lost to Syracuse.
The Chicago Bulls selected Hinrich as the seventh pick overall in the 2003 NBA draft, and in his rookie season, Kirk averaged 12 points, 6.8 assists, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.3 steals in 35.6 minutes per game as a starter. He was the only rookie who recorded a triple-double that season; 11 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists against the Golden State Warriors in February 2004, and was named to the NBA’s 2004 All-Rookie first team. Kirk was also the Bulls’ Player of the Year in that season.
The next year, Hinrich was moved to the shooting guard position, while the rookie Chris Duhon got the point guard post, and Kirk averaged 15.7 points, 6.4 assists, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.6 steals in 77 starts. He helped the Bulls to reach the playoffs, but after leading the series 2-0 against the Washington Wizards in the first round, Chicago lost the next four games and was eliminated. In the 2005-06 season, the Bulls reached the playoffs again, but lost to the eventual champions Miami Heat in the first round, while Kirk averaged 15.9 points, 6.3 assists, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.2 steals in 36.5 minutes per game, starting all of the 81 games he appeared in.
In the next season, Chicago again met Miami in the first round of the playoffs, and this time they swept the Heat but lost to the Detroit Pistons in the second round. Hinrich was involved in an incident when he threw his mouthpiece into the stands after an offensive foul, which resulted in a technical foul and fine of $25,000. He ended the year averaging a career-high 16.6 points, 6.3 assists, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.3 steals in 80 games and was selected to the NBA’s All-Defensive second team. Hinrich stayed with the Bulls for the next three years, but with the arrival of Derrick Rose, he served as a backup point guard and his numbers drastically declined.
In July 2010, Kirk was traded to the Washington Wizards, where he stayed for a season and averaged 11.1 points, 4.4 assists, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per game. The following February, Hinrich was traded to the Atlanta Hawks, where he played a supporting role for two seasons before he returned to Chicago in July 2012. He had a bigger role in the 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons due to Rose’s injuries, but his numbers dropped in the next two seasons. In February 2016, Kirk was traded to the Hawks but appeared in just 11 games, averaging a mere 6.9 minutes per match. At the moment, Kirk Hinrich is a free agent.
Regarding his personal life, Kirk Hinrich married Jill Fisher in July 2007, and has four children with her.
