Mason, 48, played for six NBA teams between 1989 and 2003. He is perhaps most well known for his five seasons with the New York Knicks from 1991-96. He was a member of the 1994 Knicks team that reached the NBA Finals, and also played for the New Jersey Nets, Denver Nuggets, Charlotte Hornets, Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks. 

Mason was an All-Star in 2001, Sixth Man of the Year in 1995 and All-NBA Third Team and All-Defensive Second Team selections in 1997.

Mason has two sons: Anthony Jr., who plays professional basketball in Europe after three seasons in the D-League, and Antoine, who plays at Auburn University. -- Dan Gartland​
