In his pro career, Rudd played in theContinental Basketball Association (CBA), and in theNBA with theUtah Jazz and thePortland Trail Blazers. He also played overseas, inGreece withPAOK, from 1986 to 1988, and inFrance, withASVEL Lyon-Villeurbanne, from 1993 to 1999.[1]
While playing for the Jazz, Rudd mostly served as a computer backup to future Hall of FamerJohn Stockton. However, Rudd had a chance to shine in the 1992 Western Conference Finals against the Blazers. In Game 5 of that series, which was tied at 2 games apiece, Stockton suffered an eye injury and thus was unable to continue playing. Rudd stepped in as point guard for the Jazz, and with his team trailing 107-104 late in the fourth quarter, swished a 23-foot 3-pointer to silence the Portland crowd and send the game into overtime.[2]
