Calvin was born in Fort Worth, Texas and attended Long Beach Poly in California.
A 6'0" point guard from Long Beach City College and the University of Southern California, Calvin was a 14th-round draft pick of the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers in 1969.
In his final college season, Calvin and his Trojans defeated the UCLA Bruins, 46–44, in Pauley Pavilion, ending the Bruins' 41 consecutive game winning streak, 45 in a row in Pacific-8 Conference play wins, and 17 in a row over USC. The victory also ended UCLA's 51 victories in Pauley Pavilion.
He played seven seasons (1969–1976) in the now-defunct American Basketball Association (ABA) and four seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Calvin began his professional career with the ABA's Los Angeles Stars, averaging 16.8 points per game in his first season to make the ABA All-Rookie Team. The following season, he averaged a career-high 27.2 points for The Floridians, in the process setting the ABA records for most free throws made (696) and most free throws attempted (805) in one season. Calvin also played for the ABA's Carolina Cougars, Denver Nuggets, and Virginia Squires before the ABA–NBA merger in 1976. He also briefly coached the Squires during the 1975–1976 season. During his ABA career, he tallied 10,620 points and 3,067 assists (second in ABA history behind only Louie Dampier's 4,044) and appeared in 5 All-Star games.
