==College career==
Standing at 6 feet (183&nbsp;cm) tall, Price played [[college basketball]] at [[Georgia Institute of Technology|Georgia Tech]]. During his time playing on the [[Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets men's basketball]] team, he was a three-time All American and four-time All [[Atlantic Coast Conference|ACC]] basketball player who helped lead the Yellow Jackets to an [[Atlantic Coast Conference|ACC]] Championship his junior year by defeating [[University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill|North Carolina]] in the ACC Tournament championship game.

==Professional career==
A [[point guard]], he mystified critics who said he was too slow, too small and too deliberate for a high-level game. Selected first in the second round (25th overall) by the [[Dallas Mavericks]] in the [[1986 NBA draft]], he was acquired by the [[Cleveland Cavaliers]] in a draft day trade that helped turn the team into an [[Eastern Conference (NBA)|Eastern Conference]] powerhouse.

===Cleveland Cavaliers===
Price was known as one of the league's most consistent shooters. He finished his career with a 90.4% [[free throw]] shooting percentage<ref>NBA History (2006). [http://www.nba.com/statistics/default_all_time_leaders/AllTimeLeadersFTPQuery.html?topic=4&stat=8 All Time Leaders: Free Throw Percentage]. Retrieved September 24, 2006.</ref> and a 40% three-point field goal shooting percentage.<ref>NBA History (2006). [http://www.nba.com/statistics/default_all_time_leaders/AllTimeLeadersFG3PQuery.html?topic=4&stat=6 All Time Leaders: Three Point Field Goal Percentage] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090303220725/http://www.nba.com/statistics/default_all_time_leaders/AllTimeLeadersFG3PQuery.html?topic=4&stat=6 |date=March 3, 2009 }}. Retrieved September 24, 2006.</ref> During the [[1988–89 NBA season|1988–89 season]], Price became the second player, after [[Larry Bird]], to join the NBA's [[50–40–90 club]] for those who shot at least 40% from three-point range, at least 50% from the field and at least 90% from the free throw line in a single season, and is still one of only eight players to have ever done this while also achieving the NBA league minimum number of makes in each category. Price ranked consistently among the [[assist (basketball)|assist]] leaders (as of March 11, 2015, LeBron James surpassed Price's Cavs record of 4,206 assists, taking over 1st place<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/12458334/lebron-james-passes-mark-price-most-assists-cleveland-cavaliers-history|title=LeBron becomes Cavs' all-time assists leader|website=Espn.go.com|date=March 11, 2015|access-date=September 1, 2017}}</ref>),<ref>[http://www.nba.com/cavaliers/history/all-time_leaders.html Cavaliers All-Time Leaders] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070630064124/http://www.nba.com/cavaliers/history/all-time_leaders.html |date=June 30, 2007}} Retrieved July 16, 2007</ref> twice won the [[Three Point Contest]] (in 1993 and 1994), and was a four-time [[NBA All-Star Game|All-Star]]. Price was named to the All-NBA First Team after the 1992–93 season.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nba.com/history/awards/19921993.html|title=NBA.com: Postseason Awards - 1992-93|website=Nba.com|access-date=September 1, 2017}}</ref> Price was second in franchise steals with 734, a Cavaliers record that stood until December 9, 2008, when [[LeBron James]] surpassed him.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=281209005|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120713235218/http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=281209005|url-status=dead|archive-date=July 13, 2012|title=Raptors vs. Cavaliers - Game Recap - December 9, 2008 - ESPN|website=ESPN.com|access-date=September 1, 2017}}</ref>

Another one of Price's distinguishing traits on the court was his pioneering of the splitting of the double team. As former teammate [[Steve Kerr]] explains, "Mark really revolutionized the way that people attack the screen and roll. To me, he was the first guy in the NBA who really split the screen and roll. A lot of teams started blitzing the pick and roll and jumping two guys at it to take the ball out of the hands of the point guard. He’d duck right between them and shoot that little runner in the lane. Nobody was doing that at that time. You watch an NBA game now and almost everybody does that. Mark was a pioneer in that regard."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cavsnews.com/20080622-1184.php |title=Mark Price Shot, Passed and "Split" His Way into the NBA's Elite &#124; Cleveland Cavaliers News |access-date=March 23, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110429025203/http://www.cavsnews.com/20080622-1184.php |archive-date=April 29, 2011}}</ref>

===Later career===
Price was plagued by injuries late in his career, a factor in his trade to the [[Washington Wizards|Washington Bullets]] prior to the 1995–96 season. He played one season for Washington before moving on to the [[Golden State Warriors]], signing with the Warriors as a free agent in July 1996. Price played 70 games for Golden State and averaged 11.3 points per game. On October 28, 1997, Price was traded to the [[Orlando Magic]] for [[David Vaughn III]] and [[Brian Shaw (basketball)|Brian Shaw]]. He spent one season with the Magic before being waived on June 30, 1998, effectively ending his career.

==National team career==
During his career Price represented the [[United States men's national basketball team|United States national team]]. He played for them in the [[Basketball at the 1983 Pan American Games|1983 Pan American Games]] where the team won gold medals, and also represented the national team in the [[1994 FIBA World Championship]], where they were known as Dream Team II, and won gold medals.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Howard-Cooper |first1=Scott |title=Q & A with Mark Price: Ready for the next challenge |url=http://www.nba.com/2015/news/features/scott_howard_cooper/08/25/qanda-with-north-carolina-charlotte-mark-price/ |website=NBA.com |access-date=November 27, 2018 |date=August 25, 2015}}</ref>

==Legacy==
Not long after retirement, Price's number, 25, was retired by the [[Cleveland Cavaliers]]. He is a member of the Georgia, Ohio, and Oklahoma Sports Halls of Fame.

The city of [[Enid, Oklahoma]], renamed the basketball arena Mark Price Arena, as a tribute to the NBA player's accomplishments, since he was one of the best basketball athletes in [[Enid High School]] history.<ref>[http://www.enidchamber.com/7-4.htm GREATER ENID CHAMBER OF COMMERCE] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927231206/http://www.enidchamber.com/7-4.htm |date=September 27, 2007}}</ref>

Price's father [[Denny Price|Denny]] was a successful player at [[Oklahoma Sooners men's basketball|Oklahoma]] and for the [[Phillips 66ers]], before becoming a college coach for [[Sam Houston State Bearkats men's basketball|Sam Houston State]] and [[Phillips University]].<ref>{{cite news|last=Justice|first=Richard|title=These Prices are competitive|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/1996/03/20/these-prices-are-competitive/23dca751-d8e8-49ac-9d28-3dc9c9836f26/|date=March 20, 1996|newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]|accessdate=May 7, 2021}}</ref> His younger brother [[Brent Price|Brent]] played ten seasons in the NBA.

==Coaching career==
Mark Price began his coaching career during the 1998–99 basketball season as a community coach under head coach and friend [[Joe Marelle]] at [[Duluth High School]] for the varsity boys team.

It was the first time [[Duluth High School]] returned to this point in the state tournament in 16 years. Price then went on to be an assistant coach to [[Bobby Cremins]] at Georgia Tech during the 1999–2000 season.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1030554/index.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100429000719/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1030554/index.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=April 29, 2010|title=Sports Illustrated on Mark Price|website=Sportsillustrated.cnn.com|access-date=September 1, 2017}}</ref>
