Mitch got his start in the Bay Area, with a solid early
career in Golden State. He soon became the go to guy in Sacramento. He
is a three-time All-NBA second teamer (1994, 1995 and 1997), and All-NBA
Third Team Member in 1996 and 1998. Mitch is a 6 time all-star including
1998, winning the AS Game MVP in 1995. He also played on DT II. In his
second season he led the Warriors to the Western Conference Semi-Finals
averaging 20.1 points in eight playoff games. Many think he is the
successor to Jordan in his ability to score and take over a game. Like
Jordan he can put up big scoring numbers, scoring 47 in a game twice.
Richmond was named rookie of the year, in a solid draft class. In college
in 1988 he was named as a Consensus Second Team All-American. He was
traded with Les Jepsen to the Kings for Billy Owens on 11/1/91. He is
Sacramento's career scoring leader and the King's franchise 3-point FG
leader. In a blockbuster deal during the 1998 playoffs, Richmond was
dealt along with Otis Thorpe to Washington for Chris Webber. Washington
signed Mitch to a four year deal starting in the 1999-2000 season, worth
40 million dollars, that is loaded with incentives. On July 20, 2001 the
LA Lakers signed Mitch Richmond to a 1 year, $1.3 million contract.
