He played a key role on the 1982-83 76ers team that captured the championship, consistently putting up around 20 points per game. He shared the court with standout teammates like Julius Erving, Moses Malone, Bobby Jones, and Maurice Cheeks during that historic season. Unfortunately, his time in the league came to an early end after just seven seasons due to persistent foot injuries that hampered his career.
