Before finding a second calling as a college basketball coach, Jerry Stackhouse enjoyed a long, successful playing career in the NBA.

After being selected with the third overall pick in the 1995 NBA Draft, Stackhouse played 18 seasons in the league for eight different organizations. He started his career in Philadelphia, but he really took off once he arrived in Detroit as a member of the Pistons organization.

During the 2000-01 season, Stackhouse led the league in total points and finished second overall in points per game (29.8). He also added 5.1 assists per game, 1.2 steals, and shot 35.1 percent behind the arc. One of his most memorable games came during this season, as the former Tar Heel scored a career-high 57 points in a game against the Bulls.
