Professional career
Threatt was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers in the sixth round of the 1983 NBA draft. He played for four years for the 76ers until he was signed by the Chicago Bulls in 1987, then in 1988 he was traded to the Seattle SuperSonics for Sam Vincent. He stayed in Seattle for four years before being traded to the Los Angeles Lakers on October 2, 1991 in exchange for three second round draft picks.
Threatt was expected to play a backup role to Magic Johnson. However, when Johnson retired due to his infection with HIV, Threatt became the starting point guard. Threatt's ability to steal the ball from unaware opponents earned him the nickname "The Thief" from the Lakers commentating duo of Chick Hearn and Stu Lantz. Threatt led the Lakers in assists, steals and minutes played each of his first two seasons with the Lakers. In 1992-93 he became the second player in Lakers franchise history (after Johnson) to lead the Lakers in scoring (15.1), assists (6.9) and steals (1.7).
He scored a career high 42 points against the New York Knicks on March 10, 1992 and scored a career playoff high 35 points in Game 1 of the 1993 Western Conference Quarter Finals against the Phoenix Suns. He retired from the league following the 1996-97 season, and later went on to play in France, Switzerland and Greece with Gymnastikos S. Larissas.
Personal life
Threatt lives in Melbourne, Australia with his family, working alongside his eldest son, Sedale Threatt Jr., in his company, Australian Basketball Development (AUBD). Threatt has another son also named Sedale Threatt Jr who played quarterback for Lehigh University and played Tom Murray, the blacksmith son of Chicken George, in the 2016 remake of the TV mini-series Roots.
