From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frederick James Carter (born February 14, 1945 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is a former professional basketball player and head coach.
A 6' 3" guard from Mount St. Mary's University, Carter was selected by the Baltimore Bullets in the third round of the 1969 NBA Draft. He played eight seasons (1969–1977) in the NBA as a member of the Bullets, Philadelphia 76ers, and Milwaukee Bucks, scoring 9,271 career points. Carter was part of the 1973 Sixers team that won only 9 of 82 regular season games, the worst win-loss record in NBA history. He later coached the Sixers for almost two seasons, from late-1992 to mid-1994.
Following his tenure with the Sixers, Carter began a successful career as a basketball analyst for ESPN. During his time as co-host of "the NBA 2Night" he was known for his claim of being "the best player on the worst team in NBA history."
His nickname was "Mad Dog" Carter.
