Darrell Kurt Rambis (born February 25, 1958 in Cupertino, California) is a former pro basketball player and current assistant coach for the Los Angeles Lakers. He graduated from Santa Clara University. His number is retired in Cupertino High School. Rambis spent most of his 14 seasons in the NBA with the Lakers, with whom he won four NBA championships. Rambis also played for the Charlotte Hornets, Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings. After retiring from his playing career, he briefly coached the Lakers franchise with moderate success, registering a nice 24-13 record in regular season before being swept by the San Antonio Spurs in 1999 Western Conference Semifinals.

During his playing days, Rambis was somewhat of a favorite among the Lakers fans, despte his limited statistical achievements. This popularity can be explained by his blue-collar approach to the game but also by his easily recognizable aspect : Rambis usually wore a thick moustache and enormous black goggles, prompting Lakers announcer Chick Hearn to nickname him Superman (in reference to Clark Kent).
