Early Life
Harrington grew up in Orange, New Jersey, then his family moved to Roselle, New Jersey where he played high school basketball at St. Patrick High School in Elizabeth, New Jersey. In 1998, he was selected as player of the year by USA Today.
NBA
Indiana Pacers
At only 18 years of age, he was selected by the Pacers with the 25th pick of the 1998 NBA Draft, and spent six seasons with them, primarily coming off the bench. Harrington really began to come into his own in the 2001-02 season, in which he averaged 13.1 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, but his season came to an end in a game against the Boston Celtics when he suffered a knee injury that forced him to miss the final 38 games of the season.
He made a comeback in the 2002-03 season, becoming the only Pacer to play in all 82 games that year. He averaged 12.2 points and 6.0 rebounds per game while starting in 37 games. The following season, he boosted his averages slightly to 13.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game, and finished second in voting for the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award. He was an integral part of the Pacers' first run to the Eastern Conference Finals since 2000.
Atlanta Hawks
On July 15, 2004, amidst rumors that Harrington was unhappy coming off the bench behind All-Stars Ron Artest and Jermaine O'Neal, Harrington was traded to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for Stephen Jackson. Harrington finally became a nightly starter, but the Hawks did not fare as successfully as the Pacers did after his departure.
Golden State Warriors
After the 2005-06 NBA season he became a free agent. It was reported that the Indiana Pacers and the Golden State Warriors were suitors. It was originally expected that the Indiana Pacers would acquire him in a sign-and-trade deal, but Harrington fired his agent, which did not guarantee that the deal would be completed. On August 22, the deal was finally completed, with the Hawks receiving a 2007 first-round draft pick. For the 2006-07 season with the Pacers, Harrington wore jersey #32 because his first choice #3 was worn by teammate Šarūnas Jasikevičius (saying it stands for "number three, and it's my second time around").
On January 17, 2007, Harrington was dealt to the Golden State Warriors along with teammates Stephen Jackson, Šarūnas Jasikevičius, and Josh Powell for Troy Murphy, Mike Dunleavy, Ike Diogu, and Keith McLeod.
New York Knicks
On the eve of the 2008–2009 season, Harrington told coach Don Nelson that he wanted to be traded. Harrington, now with agent Dan Fegan, stopped playing after November 5, 2008, claiming to have a sore back, though some doubt the legitimacy of this claim. On November 21, Harrington was traded to the New York Knicks for guard Jamal Crawford. The same day, Harrington said he expected to pass his physical and to begin playing for the Knicks by early in the next week. Al Harrington and Stephen Jackson came out with a new footwear line called Protege.
