Timeline

1959

Richard Charles Pierce (born August 19, 1959) is an American retired National Basketball Association (NBA) player.

1981

His 1981-82 season of 26.8 points, 314 field goals made, and 614 field goals attempted are also school single season records.

1982

Pierce was drafted by the Detroit Pistons in the 1st round (18th pick) of the 1982 NBA draft.

1983

Used sparingly in his rookie season, he was traded to the San Diego Clippers immediately prior to the 1983-84 NBA season for two future 2nd round draft picks.

Pierce became a rotation regular during his one season with the Clippers, averaging 9.9 points and 18.6 minutes per game.

He started 35 games during the season, highlighted by a then-career-high 30-point performance against San Antonio in his first start as a Clipper.

1984

Pierce was traded by the San Diego Clippers before the 1984-85 season along with Terry Cummings to the Milwaukee Bucks.

The trade, which also brought Craig Hodges to Milwaukee, while sending veterans Junior Bridgeman and Marques Johnson (both would eventually have their jerseys retired in Milwaukee) to the Clippers, is viewed as having worked much better for the Bucks than the Clippers.

Pierce was reunited with his coach at Rice, Mike Schuler, who was then an assistant coach for the Bucks.

Pierce would go on to average 17 points per game over the next 6 full seasons in Milwaukee, despite starting only 46 games in that time.

1985

On March 13, 1985, Pierce scored 22 points, grabbed 9 rebounds, and recorded 6 assists in a win against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Pierce and the Bucks would go on to beat Michael Jordan and the Bulls 3-1 in the first round of the playoffs, before being upset by the lower seeded Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

1986

Pierce won the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award for 1986–87 for averaging 19.5 points per game with a 53.4% shooting percentage in his third season with the Bucks.

1987

That same postseason, on May 8, 1987, Pierce led the Bucks with 29 points off the bench in a Game 3 victory against Boston Celtics, however, Boston would ultimately win the series.

1989

During the 1989 NBA Playoffs, on May 2, Pierce led the Bucks to 117-113 Game 3 victory over the Atlanta Hawks with a team-high 35 points.

The Bucks would win the series 3-2, before being eliminated in the next round by the eventual-champion Pistons.

The following season, Pierce earned the Sixth Man award again, averaging 23.0 points per game without starting a single one (an NBA record) in 1989–90.

That season, on November 9, 1989, Pierce played a key role in the longest game in the shot clock era, at four hours and 17 minutes, scoring a team leading 36 points on 15 of 21 shooting, during a 155-154 5OT win.

On December 5, Pierce scored a career-high 45 points in a loss against the Sacramento Kings.

1991

Nicknamed "Deuces" and "Big Paper Daddy", he was selected as an NBA All-Star (1991) and was twice the NBA Sixth Man of the Year (1987, 1990) while with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Pierce graduated from Garland High School.

He later played basketball at Walla Walla Community College and Rice University.

Pierce is first in Rice history in career scoring average at 22.5 points per game, while he is third all time in total points scored and second in total field goals made.

In the week preceding the 1991 trade deadline, the Bucks traded Pierce to the Seattle SuperSonics for Dale Ellis.

When asked about referring to himself as a “hired gun” in relation to being a designated scorer who bounced around on several teams, Pierce said “The teams would let you know that you were hired to play a certain role.

That was the role that I took on, my strength, my scoring ability.

That was what I focused on.

One time, in the middle of a game, I was passing the ball a lot.

Coach Don Nelson called a timeout.

He told me ‘I have Paul Pressey to pass.

Your job is to score the ball.’ I thought that was kind of cool.

I really liked that.”

Pierce became a regular starter in the 1991–92 season, his first full season with the Sonics.

He made 75 consecutive free throws through several games in November–December 1991, the second-longest such streak at that time.

1992

The same year, in 1992, Pierce led Seattle in scoring during both the regular and post seasons.

1993

In the 1993 NBA playoffs, Pierce led the Sonics to 103-100 Game 7 win in the conference semifinals over the Houston Rockets with a game-leading 25 points.

In the next round, Pierce, alongside teammates Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp, lost in seven games to the Phoenix Suns, narrowly missing an NBA Finals appearance.

Pierce returned to the bench for 1993–94 following Seattle's off-season acquisition of Kendall Gill.

1994

On July 18, 1994, Pierce was traded along with Carlos Rogers and two draft picks to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Byron Houston and Sarunas Marciulionis.

Pierce battled foot and back injuries during the season and was only able to see action in 27 games.
