Nickname: ‘The Boston Strangler’

NBA Straya Nickame: ‘Danza’

Teams:
Philadelphia 76ers (’81-’88)

Career Stats (per game):
15.9 pts // 2.2 rebs // 4.2 asts // 50.0 FG% // 79.7 FT% // 34.2 3pt%

BEST KNOWN FOR:
– being Dr J’s sidekick
– being a dead-set killer in the playoffs: his scoring average skyrocketed in the post-season
– one of a handful of guards to finish their career shooting over 50%
– Chuck Barkley saying that he was the best Sixer he played with
– getting into a stoush with Philly’s owner, who reckoned he was faking his foot injuries (turned out he had stress fractures)
– everyone forgetting about how good he was after he got hurt in ’85

DEAD-SET LEDGE STATUS:
Assured! Mate! Without Andrew Toney, that ’83 Sixers team with Dr J and Moses would never have won the title, AND Charles Barkley reckons he would’ve been a Hall of Famer were it not for the injuries. Bloke was a flat-out killer as well, to the point where they called him The Boston Strangler!! That’s dead-set legendary for sure.
