Chambers is former star NBA professional basketball player at the power forward position. He attended the University of Utah.
The 6'10" Chambers was a key member of the strong Phoenix Suns teams of the late 1980s and early 90s. 'Tommy Gun' would combine with all-star point guard Kevin Johnson to run a pick-and-roll play that would often account for a good third of the teams points. Chambers played for the Suns for five seasons, having his best point production in 1989-90 (averaging 27.2 points a contest).
Chambers played 14 full seasons in the NBA, starting in 1981-82 with the San Diego Clippers. He played five seasons for the Seattle SuperSonics from 1983-84 to 1988-89 and was named MVP of the 1987 NBA All-Star game played at the Kingdome.
After five seasons with the Suns, he spent two in the twilight of his career with his home state Utah Jazz. In the 1995-96 season he played for Israeli Champions Maccabi Tel-Aviv.
At the time of his retirement, Chambers ranked #29 all-time in total (regular season) points scored in the NBA with 20,049 in 1,107 games, for 18.1 points per game average. He also averaged 6.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game in the regular season over his career.
