Born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Robert Sura played in high school at G.A.R.

Sura holds the all-time scoring record at Florida State with 2,130 points.

He was then traded to the Golden State Warriors, and has also played for the Detroit Pistons, Atlanta Hawks and Houston Rockets.

With the Hawks, he gained attention by almost posting three straight triple-double games—the third was subsequently taken away from him by the league when he purposely missed a layup to get his 10th rebound.
