Bernard King was a four-year starter and secured himself as the most prolific scorer in program history from 1999-03. The Gibsland, Louisiana, native scored a program-best 1,990 points and averaged 17.3 points per game. King garnered four All-Big 12 Conference honors, making him one of two players in school history to have that distinction. He is also third all-time in assists (550) and eighth in steals (152) in the A&M record book.
King’s freshman campaign during the 1999-00 season led to a Big 12 Freshman of the Year honor after he averaged 16.9 points and 4.8 rebounds per contest. He knocked down a then-record 79 threes, including 48 during conference play. Over the course of his career, he had seven 30-point games and was an NABC All-District selection four times. The sharpshooter still holds a share of the record for most 3-pointers made in a game when he buried eight against Lamar on Dec. 5, 2000.
The Aggie’s all-time scoring mark has remained untouched for nearly 20 years. He is the only player in program history to play in over 100 games with a scoring average that eclipses 15.0 points per game. After his collegiate career, King went on to enjoy a 17-year professional career before retiring in 2019.
