NBA Champion in ‘83 with the 76ers and ‘94 with the Rockets. Damn. My father and I attended University of Detroit basketball games for about 4 years, and Cureton was a player during that era. He was going to be a big scoring center but he was barely average. He actually did better in the NBA imo. RIP 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
