David John Corzine (born April 25, 1956) is an American former professional basketball player in the National Basketball Association (NBA). A Chicago-area native who went to John Hersey High School in Arlington Heights, Illinois and DePaul University in Chicago, Corzine was the 18th overall pick of the 1978 NBA draft by the Washington Bullets. With the Bullets, Corzine participated in the 1979 NBA Finals but they lost in five games to the Seattle SuperSonics. After two years with the Bullets and two more with the San Antonio Spurs, Corzine returned to his hometown to play for the Chicago Bulls for seven seasons, where he started in 285 out of 556 games played for the team. He was then traded to the Orlando Magic for two second-round picks (which the Chicago Bulls used to select Toni Kukoč and P.J. Brown, respectively) on June 27, 1989. He began the 1989–90 season as the inaugural Orlando Magic's first starting center, but in the first quarter of the third game of the season against the Cleveland Cavaliers (won by the Magic in overtime) he sustained serious ligament damage in his left knee, and was subsequently forced to miss a lot of time. He returned to play a few minutes in three late-December games the same year, but hurt the knee again, and never suited up for the team after that. After the season, he signed with the Seattle SuperSonics as a free agent on October 4, 1990. At the time of his signing, his attorney, Herb Rudoy allegedly said: "Dave is excited, but he's going to get into it slowly. He's looking to play four or five more years in this league."
