One of the league's most flashy and prolific scorers during the '80s, Aguirre averaged 20 points per game over the course of his 13-year NBA career. He played with the Dallas Mavericks during his early years, from 1981 to 1989. His greatest season came in 1983-1984, when he averaged 29.5 points per game, second in the league. He finished the season with 2,330 total points. Both Mavericks single-season scoring records still stand. His 13,930 points as a Maverick rank second in the franchise's history, behind Rolando Blackman's 16,643 points. However, his success in Dallas wouldn't last, as he was traded to the Detroit Pistons for Adrian Dantley and a first round draft pick on February 15, 1989.
