Lee Nailon (born February 22, 1975 in South Bend, Indiana) is an American professional basketball player. Nailon was a graduate of South Bend Clay High School, where he led his basketball team to the 1994 State Championship.
After an all-conference career at Texas Christian University, Nailon was a second round (43rd overall) pick of the Charlotte Hornets in the 1999 NBA Draft. He has played for the Hornets (in separate stints for both Charlotte and New Orleans franchises in 2000-02 and 2004-05 respectively), the New York Knicks (2002-03), Atlanta Hawks (2003-04), Orlando Magic (2003-04), Cleveland Cavaliers (2003-04) and Philadelphia 76ers (2005-06). He holds NBA career averages of 8.6 points and 3.1 rebounds per game. His international experience includes playing for Adecco Milano in Italy (1999-2000), Bnei HaSharon in Israel (2006-2007), Lokomotiv Novosybirsk in Russia, and Al-Riyadi in Lebanon.
In the 2006-07 season, Nailon led Bnei Hasharon to the Israeli Cup final, shocking the everlasting champions, Maccabi Tel Aviv, in the semifinal (eventually losing to Hapoel Jerusalem in the final).
^I think he should have stayed in the NBA.
