Johnny Moore (basketball)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Brian Moore (born March 3, 1958 in Altoona, Pennsylvania) is a former professional player in the National Basketball Association. He spent his entire career playing point guard for the San Antonio Spurs, save one game for the New Jersey Nets. Towards the end of his relatively short career, he was diagnosed with Valley fever, a fungal infection that can cause meningitis. It was thought that this malady would end his career, if not endanger his life. He made a full recovery, enough so to return to the Spurs to resume his career, albeit briefly. Over 520 games in his career, Moore averaged 9.4 points, 7.4 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.96 steals per game, and a field goal percentage of 46.0. He is currently 15th all time in assists per game.

After his retirement, the Spurs retired his number, #00.
