Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
King made his first-class debut for Guyana in 1996 and it took him just 2 years to gate-crash into the West Indies team. King was handed his ODI debut versus India in the 1998 ICC Knockout Trophy. A few months later, he began his Test career with the disastrous tour to South Africa, where West Indies endured a whitewash.
Often hustling the opposition with pace and bounce, King bagged 76 and 53 wickets in 19 Tests and 50 ODIs respectively. Not to mention, King was frugal(4.16 rpo) in the limited overs format. He wouldn't buy a little kid a candy.
Unfortunately he faded into the oblivion following the tour to England to 2000. He sustained a heel injury, which aggravated the situation further.
When his playing career seemed done and dusted King was recalled into the team in 2004/05. theless, he was nowhere close to the force he was.
After the exit from the international stage, King provided audio commentary on both regional and international games in the Caribbean.
Lesser known facts:
1. King was signed up by Durham County Club in England in 2004.
2. He headed the Guayana Cricket Board's selection panel in 2009.

Wisden overview
An athletic paceman from Guyana with a slinky run sometimes compared to Michael Holding's, King bowls through that run rather than setting himself at the crease, but was still considered to be West Indies' fastest bowler at the end of the 1990s. He enjoyed a successful home season in 1999-2000, taking his first Test five-for against Zimbabwe in Jamaica. Two months later, after setting up a tight win over Pakistan, he and Franklyn Rose seemed almost ready to succeed Ambrose and Walsh. But both fell away during the 2000 tour of England, where King was said to be troubled by a heel injury. An introverted character and a genuine No. 10, King was a forgotten man for four years, until he was recalled for the home series against South Africa in 2004-05, when a raft of leading players were sidelined by a contract dispute.
