About Bernard King
Bernard King played 16 seasons in the NBA with the New Jersey Nets, Utah Jazz, Golden State Warriors, New York Knicks, and Washington Bullets from 1977 to 1993. He joined the Nets in 1977 as a first round draft pick out of the University of Tennessee. While playing for the Volunteers he earned All-American honors in 1976 and 1977 and was named the SEC Player of the Year three consecutive times from 1975 to 1977. In honor of his contributions to the Tennessee program he has retired his legendary No. 53 jersey. Upon signing with the Nets he began a successful professional career and earned NBA All-Rookie Team honors in 1978. Over the next 16 seasons he earned four All-Star selections and four All-NBA nods. His best season came in 1985 when he led the NBA in scoring with 32.9 points per game. King retired as a member of the Nets in 1993 with 19,655 points, which equates to 22.5 points per game average over the course of his career. In 2013 he took his rightful place in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame among the best players to ever play the game.
