Orr played at Syracuse from 1976 to 1980 and was part of the famed "Bouie & Louie Show" with teammate Roosevelt Bouie. After graduating from Syracuse in 1980, he was the 28th pick in the 1980 NBA Draft, selected by the Indiana Pacers. He played two seasons with the Pacers, which included one playoff appearance. After that, he moved on to the New York Knicks, and played for six years, with three playoff berths. Orr averaged career highs rebounds and points for the Knicks with 12.7 and 4.9, respectively, in the 1984–85 season. He scored over 5,500 career points as a pro. He is currently the head basketball coach at Bowling Green.
On the left front tail of the jersey is the "Sand Knit" manufacturer's exclusive tag that reads "Designed & Tailored Exclusively for the New York Knicks." Attached to the left of the tag is a size “38” flag tag. Adjacent is the "Gerry Cosby" distributors tag. The player number "55" appears on the front and back in maroon on navy blue tackle twill. The team name "KNICKS" appears below the player number on the front in the same tackle twill. The player name "Orr" appears across the back in maroon on navy blue tackle twill. The jersey shows some nice game-use and appears to have no alterations of any kind.
