High school career
Mullin began his high school years at Power Memorial Academy, where he served as a teammate of Mario Elie. He went from Xaverian High School as a sophomore to the New York Class A state championship in 1981.
College career
Mullin was recruited by Hall of Fame coach Lou Carnesecca to play for St. John's University in nearby Queens. Mullin averaged 16.6 points per game in his freshman year after signing (also setting the school freshman record for points scored). He was named Big East Player of the Year three times, appointed to the All-America team three times, and named College Player of the Year in 1985.
Mullin led St. John's to the 1985 Final Four and its first ranked ranking since 1951 as a senior who averaged 19.8 points per game. Mullin, who averaged 19.5 points per game, completed his career as the Redmen's all-time top scorer with 2,440 career points. He also has the distinction of being one of only three players in history to win the Haggerty Award (given to the best college player in the New York City area) three times (1983-1995). Mullin was also named the Big East conference's player of the year from 1983 to 1985, making him the first male basketball player to be named the first male basketball player to receive the award three seasons in a row.
Professional career
Mullin was picked by the Golden State Warriors in the first round with their seventh pick in the 1985 NBA draft. Mullin was mostly a spot-up shooting guard playing in the backcourt in Mullin's first three seasons with the Warriors.
The Warriors reached the Western Conference semifinals under George Karl in his second season (1986–87), where they lost to the eventual NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers. Don Nelson, the Warriors' coach, was hired as the Warriors' coach and had plans to transfer Mullin to a small forward in the upcoming season. Mullin revealed to Nelson that he was an alcoholic during his third season in the NBA. Mullin was suspended for several weeks before beginning an alcohol therapy program.
Mullin averaged 25 or more points and five rebounds for five seasons, from 1988 to 1993. In addition, the Warriors made five straight playoff appearances. Mullin, Mitch Richmond, and 1989 first-round draftee Tim Hardaway formed the trio "Run TMC" (the initials of the players' names and a play on the name of the famous rap group Run–D.M.C.) That was the main stars of this playoff season. Mullin has earned Olympic gold twice before being a member of the 1984 amateur team and the 1992 Dream Team, a five-time All-Star.
Nelson was traded for Chris Webber on NBA Draft Day in 1993 in the hopes of making the Warriors more effective in the frontcourt. Mullin's body began to break down, and he began to miss significant amounts of games. With Webber, the Warriors enjoyed a fruitful first season, but he and Nelson began to disagree about their use as a player. Nelson resigned, and subsequent coaches found Mullin to be injury-prone and began to center the team around Latrell Sprewell.
Mullin was traded from the Indiana Pacers to second-year center Erick Dampier and NBA journeyman Duane Ferrell after the 1996–97 season.
Mullin played in all 82 games, averaged 11.3 points per game, and helped the Pacers advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, where they lost to the Chicago Bulls in seven games. He set a career high in 3-point shots made (107), led the NBA in free-throw percentage (0.99) last season as well. During his second season with the team, the bird began to phase Mullin out and give more attention to Jalen Rose at small forward. Mullin, mainly a bench player at this point, appeared in three games of the 2000 NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers, scoring four points total. Mullin was suspended by the Pacers after this season.
Mullin signed with the Warriors for the 2000–01 season, his first season as a player.
Mullin was similar to NBA legend Larry Bird in terms of lagging, having a strong outside shot, and being able to put their defender off guard, according to Jim O'Brien. He was on the All-NBA second team (1989-1991), third squad (1990), and first team (1992).
National team career
Mullin, who played in two games, shot 61.9 percent from the field and 58% from the three-point line in 1992's Summer Olympics. He was a member of the "Dream Team," which is widely believed to be one of the best sports teams ever.
Mullin has also earned gold medals in the 1992 Tournament of the Americas, "Dream Team," the 1984 Summer Olympics, the 1982 Jones Cup, and the 1982 Seoul Invitational.

His team made it to the NCAA tournament in the 2018–19 season, defeating the First Four and going 21-13. The 21 wins matched their highest number since 1999–2000.
Mullin resigned as head coach after compiling a 59–73 record in four seasons, including 20–52 in Big East play, citing a "personal tragedy" that was widely regarded as the death of his brother.
