He went on to win five NBA Championships with the Chicago Bulls in his 16-year career.

Harper is one of the best men’s basketball players in MAC history, ranking second in career points in the conference. He won back-to-back MAC Player of the Year awards in 1985 and 1986 and MAC Freshman of the Year in 1983.

Miami was 81-39 with Harper, including two conference championships and three-straight trips to the NCAA Tournament. He holds the record for most points scored in MAC Tournament history (45).
