1996-97:
Christie's fifth NBA season was by far his best as a pro. He started 81 games for the Raptors, missing only one game on Feb. 5 because of ankle sprain. He posted career-highs of 14.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.48 steals in 38.6 minutes, ranking second in the NBA in steals. His 147 three-pointers also were a career-high and far surpassed his previous four-year total of 88...Christie finished second in balloting for the NBA's Most Improved Player Award behind Miami's Isaac Austin. His 5.3 rpg was fourth-highest among all NBA guards, and he was one of only four players (with Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Mookie Blaylock) to record at least 400 rebounds, 300 assists, 100 steals and 100 three-pointers...Besides leading the Raptors in steals, Christie ranked second on the team in assists, minutes and three-point field goal percentage (.384), third in free throw percentage (.775), fourth in scoring and fifth in rebounding...He scored 20 or more points 15 times, and Toronto was 8-7 in those games. He tied his career-high with 33 points in a 120-84 triumph over Portland on Jan. 28. He grabbed a career-high 15 rebounds (along with 29 points, eight steals and seven assists) in a 112-90 victory at Philadelphia on April 2 and posted a club-record nine steals in a 124-122 overtime win at Denver on Feb. 25.

1995-96:
Christie split the season between New York and Toronto, going to the Raptors on Feb. 18 with Herb Williams and cash in exchange for Willie Anderson and Victor Alexander....Christie saw only limited duty with New York, appearing in 23 games and averaging 4.0 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists in just 9.5 minutes per game. He was never able to work his way into the regular playing rotation in his 1-plus seasons in New York, so the trade to Toronto was welcome....With the Raptors he played in 32 games and made 17 starts, 12 at point guard when Damon Stoudamire was hurt and five at shooting guard. He averaged 10.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.81 steals in 25.6 minutes per game for Toronto, ranking second on the team in steals and fourth in assists. He scored in double figures 16 times for Toronto, including six of his last eight games. In that spurt was a season-high 30 points against Washington on April 19, a game in which he also had seven rebounds, five assists and four steals. Christie handed out a career-high eight assists in his first start with Toronto at Philadelphia on March 12, matched his career high of five steals at Indiana on March 17, and in his season finale matched his career high with eight assists and grabbed a season-high eight rebounds against Philadelphia on April 21...For the season, Christie appeared in 55 games and averaged 7.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.27 steals in 18.8 minutes per game. He shot a solid .434 from three-point range on 46-for-106, and his 36 three-pointers made for Toronto ranked fourth on the team while his .414 percentage as a Raptor ranked second.

1994-95:
The 1994-95 season was a disappointing one for Christie. He underwent surgery in August to remove bone spurs in his left ankle. On October 13 the Los Angeles Lakers, who had an abundance of potent young scorers, traded him to the New York Knicks for a pair of second-round draft picks. Head Coach Pat Riley never found much playing time for the young swingman, however, and Christie appeared in only 12 games. His season high was a 4-point outing against the Dallas Mavericks on March 31. He scored only 1.3 points per game for the season. ...The Knicks finished at 55-27, then advanced to the Eastern Conference Semifinals before losing to the Indiana Pacers in seven games. Christie appeared in one game in New York's first-round matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers and in one game against the Pacers. He was scoreless in 6 total minutes, missing all 4 of his field-goal attempts.

1993-94:
The Los Angeles Lakers' leading scorer until a left ankle sprain on January 11 sidelined him for 16 games, Christie demonstrated a great deal of promise in his first full NBA season. He started more than half of the 65 games in which he played. However, the injury took its toll, as evidenced by Christie's .388 field-goal shooting in 33 games after returning on February 20...Prior to the setback he had scored a career-high 33 points on December 4 against the Lakers' crosstown rivals, the Los Angeles Clippers. In that same game he recorded career highs in three-pointers attempted (7) and made (5), as well as free throws attempted (14) and made (10). At the time, the five treys matched a club record held by Michael Cooper, Magic Johnson, and Byron Scott; however, it was surpassed later in the season by Nick Van Exel. Christie also recorded a career-high 13 rebounds in a November 16 game against the Clippers. He finished the season averaging 10.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in 23.3 minutes per game.

1992-93:
The Seattle SuperSonics decided Christie would fare well playing in his hometown and drafted him 17th overall in the 1992 NBA Draft. But Seattle and Christie could not come to terms on a contract, and the talented swingman was still unsigned when the Sonics traded his rights along with Benoit Benjamin to the Los Angeles Lakers for Sam Perkins on February 22...The Lakers signed Christie four days later, and on March 12 he finally began his rookie season. Coach Randy Pfund played Christie sparingly at first, allowing him time to adjust to a difficult midseason entrance...He had his best games in April, scoring a season-high 17 points against the Rockets in Houston on April 13, dishing for 9 assists versus the Portland Trail Blazers on April 9, and pulling down 8 rebounds against the Utah Jazz on April 21. In 23 games overall he averaged 6.2 points, 2.3 assists, and 2.2 rebounds in 14.4 minutes per game.

COLLEGE:
Volleyball powerhouse Pepperdine gets more publicity for its spikers and servers than for its basketball players, but Doug Christie raised NBA scouts' eyebrows by averaging 19.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 4.8 assists in his senior year. He was impressive again at the 1992 Orlando All-Star Classic, a pre-draft camp for college seniors, earning selection to the all-tournament team.
