After playing on the gold medal U. S. Olympic team, May joined the Chicago Bulls. He played with them for five seasons and went to the Milwaukee Bucks in 1981. He began the 1982-83 season with the Detroit Pistons, but was released before the season ended. May then played six years of professional basketball in Italy. During his NBA career, he scored 690 points, an average of 10.4 per game.
