Early life

[edit]

Gray attended John F. Kennedy High School in Granada Hills, California and graduated in 1981.[citation needed]

Basketball career

[edit]

Gray attended UCLA for three seasons between 1981 and 1984, and was afterwards selected with the 29th overall (5th in 2nd round) pick in the 1984 NBA draft by the Indiana Pacers. He played with them for five seasons (1984–85 – 1988–89) before moving on to the Charlotte Hornets (1989–90). During a game on December 12, 1989 where the Hornets were visiting the Los Angeles Lakers, Gray fouled James Worthy, then proceeded to get in a physical altercation with multiple Lakers, for which he was fined $5,000 and suspended one game.[1] Two months later, Gray was traded mid-season to the New York Knicks, where he played in the 1990–91 season, finishing his NBA career that year with eight games. He holds NBA career averages of 2.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 0.3 blocks per game.

Gray played internationally with the Panama men's national basketball team.
