Citing his upbringing in Washington, D.C., Carr attended Holy Redeemer School and then Mackin Catholic High School. Amid his studies at Notre Dame University, he ventured into college basketball. His talent led to him clinching the AP College Player of the Year award and the 1971 Naismith title. In his final two seasons, Austin carved a unique position for himself, being the sole player to score over 1000 points in a season. He also holds various records for the NCAA, including those for the most points, field goals attempted, and scored in a single game. ESPN recently honored him as the 22nd greatest college basketball player ever.

Joining the NBA in the 1971 draft as the first overall pick for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Carr also got drafted by Virginia Squires in the ABA Draft but chose to sign with the Cavaliers. However, his inaugural NBA season was marred by injuries that significantly impacted his performance. Despite these challenges, he managed to showcase his full potential upon recovery, becoming the NBA’s top selection and a member of the 1972 All-Rookie Team. His subsequent three seasons saw him play crucial roles in three playoff appearances, earning him the NBA All-Star title in 1974 and the J.Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award in 1980, the same year he moved to the Dallas Mavericks.

Carr retired from professional basketball after his final season with the Mavericks in 1981. His illustrious career earned him induction into the College Basketball Hall of Fame in 2007 and the Notre Dame Basketball Ring of Honor four years later. Additional accolades include his induction into the Cleveland Sports Hall of Fame in 1992 and the receipt of the Greater Cleveland Sports Commission Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011.

After hanging up his boots, Carr transitioned into a career as a color commentator on Fox Sports Ohio. He also assumed the role of Director of Community Relations for the Cavaliers, a position he holds to this day.

When it comes to his private life, Austin is married to Sharon and leads a quiet family life, keeping much of his personal life away from the public eye.
