Born April 11, 1955 in Lubbock, Texas, Richardson played his college basketball at the University of Montana before the New York Knicks selected him with the 4th overall pick in the 1978 NBA Draft. In his seasons with New York, he was a force: four NBA All-Star appearances, a player who could take over games from the point guard position with his combination of steals, assists, and scoring ability. In the 1979-80 season, he led the entire NBA in steals and assists simultaneously — one of only a handful of players in league history to accomplish that combination in a single season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis career is one of professional basketball's most difficult stories — a player of exceptional ability whose struggle with substance abuse ultimately ended a career that was still in its ascending arc. Richardson was banned from the NBA for life in 1986 under the league's drug policy after multiple violations, a career curtailed not by injury or age or decline but by the grip of addiction at a time when professional sports broadly were reckoning with a crisis that changed how every major league handled drug violations. He is remembered both for what he was — one of the most complete point guards of his era — and for what the late 1970s NBA looked like when its stars were at their most dynamic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichardson signed this New York Knicks white basketball jersey.
