Entry: Mark Price gets new gig Thursday, August 19, 2004



One of the best Cavs becomes the newest Cavs voice.


  It's been announced that Mark Price the Cleveland Cavalier point guard from 1986-1995 and maybe the second most recognizable Cavalier outside of LeBron James. Pricer has finally returned to the organization as the color analyst, alongside play by play guru Michael Reghi for Fox Sports Ohio. 

The 4 time All-Star (all with the Cavaliers) averaged 15.2 points, 6.7 assists and over a 40% rate at sinking three pointers during his career. Even more notably are his 47 playoff games (again all with the Cavaliers) in which he average 17.4 points, and 7 assists per game in leading some of the best Cavalier teams to ever step onto the court.

Price was traded in the summer of 1995 to the then Washington Bullets, and for the life of me I can't remember who. If you have the info on hand email it to me and I'll amend it. I'm sure I could find it but that will just start me on a tirade about the mid-nineties management. Just as a side note Price was not called about the trade, he heard it on a sports radio station on his way to Cleveland.  

Price retired as the best free throw shooter in the history of the NBA, shooting at an amazing 90.4%. Along with his 2 Three point championships during all-star weekend. Price was known as one of the best marksmen in the history of the NBA.
