The former first overall pick was an NCAA champion with the UCLA Bruins and an NBA champion with both the Portland Trail Blazers and the Boston Celtics. He was a member of one of the best NBA teams ever assembled, the 1986 Celtics who won 67 games and cruised through the playoffs with a 15-3 record.
