A two-time Olympian, Richmond won a gold medal with the United States Olympic Basketball Team at the 1996 Summer Games in Atlanta and a bronze medal in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul. He finished his NBA career with 20,497 points, 3,801 rebounds and 3,398 assists. In 2003, Richmond’s No. 2 jersey was retired by the Kings, a team Richmond led in scoring for seven straight seasons from 1991-92 to 1997-98, averaging 23.3 points per game, and for which he scored 12,070 points, third highest in franchise history.
