Harper played in 1199 regular season games in his career, ranking him 21st in NBA history (as of the 2004-5 NBA season).

He retired having the 11th most steals and the 17th most assists in NBA history, and is widely regarded with the distinction as being one of the best players to never make it to the All-Star game.
