NBA career

Injuries and alcohol abuse hampered his early performance, but Mullin recovered - becoming one of the NBA's best pure shooters. For five consecutive seasons from 1988 until 1993, Mullin scored an average of 25 or more points and five rebounds. A five-time All-Star, Mullin also won Olympic gold twice—as a member of the 1984 amateur team and the 1992 Dream Team. A savvy lefthander, Mullin averaged 18.2 points per game, with 38 percent accuracy on three point field goals. He was also an excellent passer. As a Warrior, Mullin was one third of the high-scoring triumvirate, Run T-M-C, with teammates Tim Hardaway and Mitch Richmond. In his later years with the Warriors, Mullin became popularly known around the NBA and with fans for his distinctive "crew-cut" hairstyle. Today, the Warriors continue to hold "Crew Cut Nights" in his honor, where fans get to have their heads shaved into crew-cuts.

Effort more than physicality marked Mullin's playing style. Somewhat lanky at 215 pounds and six-foot seven-inches, Mullin managed to hold his own. He was also on the All-NBA second team (1989 and 1991), third team (1990), and first team (1992). In April 2004 Mullin was named executive vice president of basketball operations for the Warriors. Mullin also appeared in the 1995 Billy Crystal movie Forget Paris.

Mullin is married and has three sons. He is also the current Vice President of Basketball Operations for the Warriors.
