What is Doug Christie’s career?
Christie was selected 17th overall in the 1992 NBA draft by the Seattle SuperSonics. However, he was never signed since he and the team were unable to reach an agreement on terms. Christie was dealt to the Los Angeles Lakers in early 1993, and he made his NBA debut that March. In his first game, he donned a jersey with the misspelled name “Chrisite.”
He was eventually used sparingly by the Lakers, appearing in only 23 games to finish the 1992–93 season and 65 games in 1993–94.
The Lakers traded Christie to the New York Knicks in 1994. However, he was again used sparingly, appearing in 12 games in 1994–95 and 23 games in 1995–96.
Christie was moved to the Toronto Raptors around halfway through the 1995–96 season. He played in 32 games for the squad that season, scoring an average of 10.1 points per game. Christie’s performance improved in the 1996–97 season, when he played 81 games and averaged 14.5 points per game.
The following season, he averaged 16.5 points per game in 78 games, setting a career high. Christie stayed with the Raptors for two more seasons, and in 2000, he helped the team advance to the playoffs’ first round.
Christie was dealt to the Sacramento Kings during the offseason of 2000. He quickly rose to prominence as the team’s primary shooting guard, and he was regarded as the league’s best defensive player.
Christie’s defense was credited with propelling the Kings to the top of the NBA standings, as he helped lead the team to four straight playoff appearances from 2001 to 2004. In the 2001–02 season, the Kings led the league in victories and advanced to the Conference Finals.
Christie was transferred to the Orlando Magic in 2005. Unhappy with the deal, he only appeared in a few games with the squad before being sidelined with bone spurs. Christie was released from the Magic on August 11, 2005, following ankle surgery.
After being released by the Magic, Christie signed a one-year contract with the Dallas Mavericks. However, because of recurring ankle injuries, he was dismissed by the organization in late 2005, after only seven games.
