He was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers in the second round of the 1973 NBA draft and played in Philadelphia for two seasons before being signed as a free agent with San Antonio in 1975.
Bristow spent four years with the Spurs, two with Utah and two more at Dallas before deciding to retire in 1983.
