After a standout career at Martin Luther King High School in Detroit, Michigan, he played two years of college basketball at Eastern Michigan University.

After retiring from the NBA, he played professionally in the CBA as well as in Italy and Spain.

He married Joyce King two times, first in 1976 and again in 1985.

He and Kobe Bryant are considered to be two of the greatest pure shooting guards in NBA history.
