Cedric Ceballos
Cedric Zelos Ceballos (born August 2, 1969) is an American former professional basketball player. As a small forward, he played mostly for the Phoenix Suns and the Los Angeles Lakers, later finishing his National Basketball Association (NBA) career with the Dallas Mavericks, Detroit Pistons, and Miami Heat.
Ceballos attended college at Ventura College and later Cal State Fullerton.
Ceballos' career highlights include winning the NBA Slam Dunk Contest with a blindfolded dunk in 1992. He also led the NBA in field goal percentage (57.6) in 1992–93 with the Suns. Ceballos played a major role for the Suns during the playoffs, leading the team to a Western Conference Finals Game 1 victory over the Seattle SuperSonics with a team high 21 points. After beating Seattle in a seven-game series, the Suns reached the Finals, where they lost to the Chicago Bulls. Ceballos went on to play for the Los Angeles Lakers after being traded in 1994 for a first-round draft pick, where he led the Lakers in scoring in 1994–95 with a 21.7 average and made the All-Star team, but could not participate due to an injury. That season, on December 20, 1994, he set a career high with 50 points scored, including a three-point shot to secure the win with 5.7 seconds left, in a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The following season, on December 3, 1995, Ceballos recorded 19 points and a career high six steals in a 104–96 victory over the Indiana Pacers. That year, he again led the Lakers with a 21.2 scoring average.
This fell to just 10.8 points per game in a mere 8 games in 1996-1997. Prior to the 1996-1997 season, Ceballos was traded back to the Phoenix Suns, alongside Rumeal Robinson, for Robert Horry and Joe Kleine, starting just 32 of 42 games and scoring 15.6 points per game; it would be the most starts over the last 7 years of his career. In 1998, Ceballos was traded to the Dallas Mavericks for Dennis Scott. In 2000, Ceballos was traded to the Detroit Pistons with John Wallace and Eric Murdock for Christian Laettner and Terry Mills. Ceballos would only appear in thirteen games for Detroit before being traded to the Miami Heat with two second-round draft picks for a single second-round pick. In 2001, Ceballos attempted to sign with the Denver Nuggets but was cut.
In 2002, Ceballos signed with Israeli team Hapoel Tel Aviv, but was waived after a couple of games. Shortly afterward, he moved to Russia and was signed by BC Lokomotiv Mineralnye Vody. Ceballos also played for the San Miguel Beermen in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).
In late 2004, Ceballos signed with the Los Angeles Stars from the ABA. He later became employed by the Suns as their in-arena emcee and host of a weekly webcast, "Nothin' but Net". Ceballos also hosted a morning music program for Phoenix, Arizona rhythm & blues radio station MEGA 104.3 FM.
In March 2007, the Phoenix Flame of the IBL announced the signing of Ceballos for its inaugural season in the league, but he quickly moved behind the lines as an assistant coach the next month.
Ceballos has toured with the "USA Legends". On June 19, 2011, the USA Legends defeated the Indonesian NBL All Star team 97–79, with Ceballos being the unofficial MVP of the game. A notable highlight of Ceballos' performance during the game was when he donned one of the Indonesian player's jerseys and played for the Indonesian team over a stretch of a few possessions, scoring a breakaway dunk during one of them.
