Tom Henderson

Thomas Edward Henderson (born January 26, 1952) is an American former professional basketball player in the National Basketball Association. Born in Newberry, South Carolina, he was a 6'4" guard out of the University of Hawaiʻi. Henderson was first selected by the San Antonio Spurs in the 1973 American Basketball Association undergraduate draft before the Atlanta Hawks took him in the first round of the 1974 NBA draft.

While still an amateur college student, Henderson played for the United States basketball team at the 1972 Summer Olympics and was part of the controversial 1972 Olympic Men's Basketball Final.

Henderson went on to a productive nine-year NBA career, playing from 1974 to 1983 for the Hawks, the Washington Bullets, and the Houston Rockets. Over that span he accumulated 6,088 career points and 3,136 career assists. He reached the NBA Finals three times, winning the championship with the Bullets in 1978.

Since retiring from basketball, Henderson has worked as an administrator at a Houston-area juvenile facility.
