I’ve always been curious about obscure NBA players, so today I decided to dig into Tim Perry’s career stats to find out how many points he actually scored. Here’s exactly what I did step by step.
Starting My Research
First thing I opened my laptop and typed “Tim Perry NBA stats” into the search bar. Scrolled through different sites but most showed just season averages – I wanted the full career totals. Finally found one site listing his entire stats in a table format.
Crunching the Numbers
Grab a pen and paper, seriously. Started adding season by season like this:
- 1988–89: 292 points
- 1989–90: 511 points
- 1990–91: 625 points
- 1991–92: 512 points
- 1992–93: 172 points
- 1993–94: 92 points
- 1994–95: 68 points
My calculator app got a workout adding all these up. Messed up twice where 1990 and 1992 seasons looked similar and had to double-check. After triple checking, got the final number.
The Final Revelation
Turns out Tim Perry scored 2,272 total points in his 7 NBA seasons. Honestly more than I expected for a bench guy! What surprised me was his best year wasn’t when he started most games – in 1990–91 he put up 625 points mainly off the bench.
Funny thing after all this? His career high in a single game was 29 points. Would’ve loved to see that performance back in 1991. Anyway, another forgotten player’s story uncovered through boring math!
