At a Glance

- Extremely efficient player who was incredibly close to being a career 50/40/90 guy while averaging only about a turnover per game; played incredibly underrated defense and was a passable rebounder for a wing
- Finished his career by slightly edging out Gary Bossert to be the most efficient wing scorer of all-time in terms of points per true shot attempt at 1.191 for his career
- Extremely loyal and cost efficient player who never made more than $8 million in a single season with career earnings totaling only just short of $97 million for an extremely productive 18 season career (averages out to just about 5.35 million per season)
- One of the best wings of the post-contraction era and one of the few to consistently score 10+ win share seasons
- Finishes 24th all-time in win shares and was one of only 28 players to this point to eclipse 150 wins total at 155.4 total for his career; he tracked at .188 WS/48 for his career
- Finishes 11th all-time in career steals, 15th all-time in career pts/tsa, 20th all-time in career minutes played, 23rd all-time in career free throw percentage, 28th all-time in career points scored (one of 33 players to eclipse 25k scored), 28th all-time in career free throws made (45th in attempts), 30th all-time in career field goals made (29th in attempts), and 50th in career three pointers made (48th in attempts)
