Jimmy D. Lampley (born July 2, 1960) is an American former professional basketball player who was a center for one season in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers during the 1986–87 season. Born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, he attended Vanderbilt University and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock where he was drafted in the fifth round of the 1983 NBA draft by the Dallas Mavericks who waived him before the start of the season.[1] Lampley signed with three teams who he never appeared in a game for: the Dallas Mavericks, the Washington Bullets and the Milwaukee Bucks.[2]

Raised in Paterson, New Jersey,[3] Lampley played prep basketball at Passaic County Technical Institute in Wayne, New Jersey and collegiately for the Vanderbilt Commodores and the Little Rock Trojans.[2] While his NBA career was brief, he had a long and successful career in the Continental Basketball Association (CBA).[4][5] He played 314 games over eight seasons and for seven teams. Averaging 13.8 points and 8.9 rebounds, he was named to the all-league team for the 1988–89 season[6] and appeared in two All-Star games.[7]
