He was chosen in the second round by
the New Jersey Nets and averaged
24.2 points per game to make the
all-rookie team. A 6-foot-7,
205-pound forward, King was traded
to the Utah Jazz in 1979 but missed
most of the season with a knee
injury and was sent to the Golden
State Warriors.
King was named comeback player of
the year after averaging 21.9 points
a game in 1980-81. Golden State
traded him to the New York Knicks in
1982. With New York, King led the
NBA in scoring with 32.9 points a
game in 1984-85.
Because of a career-threatening knee
injury, King missed all of the
1985-86 season and played in only 6
games in 1986-87. He was released by
the Knicks and signed with the
Washington Bullets in 1987.
The recurring knee problem forced
him out for all of the 1991-92
season, but King returned to appear
in 32 games with New Jersey in
1992-93. In 874 regular season
games, he scored 19,655 points, an
average of 22.5 per game, and he
added 687 points in 28 playoff
games, a 24.5 average.
