Moncrief led the University of Arkansas Razorbacks trio known as "The Triplets" to the 1978 Final Four, which ended in a win in the NCAA Consolation Game versus #6 Notre Dame. Moncrief went on to play 11 seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA), as his career was cut short by degenerative knees. Moncrief averaged over 20 points per game in four seasons of his career and finished his 11-season NBA career with an average of 15.6 PPG. A noted defensive player, he won the first two NBA Defensive Player of the Year awards in 1983 and 1984. Among Moncrief's admirers wasMichael Jordan who once described his on-court intensity to an L.A. Times reporter: "When you play against Moncrief, you're in for a night of all-around basketball. He'll hound you everywhere you go, both ends of the court. You just expect it."
