One
of the best Cavs becomes the newest Cavs voice.
It's
been announced that Mark Price the Cleveland Cavalier point guard from
1986-1995 and maybe the second most recognizable Cavalier outside of
LeBron James. Price has finally returned to the organization as the color
analyst, alongside play by play guru Michael Reghi for Fox Sports Ohio.
The
4 time All-Star (all with the Cavaliers) averaged 15.2 points, 6.7 assists
and over a 40% rate at sinking three pointers during his career. Even more
notably are his 47 playoff games (again all with the Cavaliers) in which
he average 17.4 points, and 7 assists per game in leading some of the best
Cavalier teams to ever step onto the court.
Price
was traded in the summer of 1995 to the then Washington Bullets, for a
1996 1st round pick which became Vitaly Potapenko. Thanks to Jason Hardman
for sending me the info on that. (and of course Mr. Hagerman but he
doesn't count) Just as a side note Price was not called about the trade,
he heard it on a sports radio station on his way to Cleveland.
Price
retired as the best free throw shooter in the history of the NBA, shooting
at an amazing 90.4%. Along with his 2 Three point championships during
all-star weekend. Price was known as one of the best marksmen in the
history of the NBA.
