McNamara became NBA champion with the Philadelphia Sixers in 1983 and won the FIBA ​​Saporta Cup with Real Madrid in 1992.

In the NBA League and in Europe, the midfielder has played for 11 years.

He also tried his luck in Hollywood as a supporting actor for the role of Chubac in the second part of the Star Wars film “Empire Counterattacks”.

When lead actor Peter Mayhew fell ill, McNamara had a chance to show off his acting skills. However, the episodes with him did not make it to the movie and were then re-filmed with Mr. Mayhew, who had already recovered.

At the end of his career, the 211 cm tall basketball player worked as an assistant coach for a high school team in Alaska, helping to win two state championships.

Real Madrid has expressed its condolences to McNamara’s relatives. The cause of the basketball player’s death was found to be heart failure.
