Dwayne Kenneth Schintzius (born October 14, 1968 in Brandon, Florida) is an American basketball player perhaps best known for his role as a Russian player in the 1996 Whoopi Goldberg comedy Eddie (film), and his spectacular mullet. Recently, Schintzius has alleged his former New Jersey Nets teammate Jayson Williams killed his own dog with a shotgun.
More On Schintzius and the dog, from AnimalRights.net: Williams' former teammate Dwayne Schintzius claimed that in 2001, Williams bet him $100 that he could not get one of Williams' guard dogs out of the house and onto the porch. According to Schintzius, when he returned a few minutes later with the dog, Williams went into the house and returned with a rifle. He then shot and killed the dog and threatened Schintzius with the gun.
No real reason to post this, except to influence the jury pool for Jayson Williams' retrial.

Back in the day, this guy was a pretty decent college hoopster at Syracuse. We still used to call him "shinsplints"
Actually, he played at Florida. And the mullet was referred to as "the Lobster," for some reason. I suppose it looks as much like a lobster as it does a mullet...
