Harrison Burwell Gaines (born April 27, 1989) is an American former basketball player who is most notably a California Attorney and the founder and chief executive officer of sports agency SLASH Sports & Entertainment. A native of Victorville, California, Gaines was a standout point guard at Serrano High School. He played college basketball with Penn before transferring to UC Riverside for his final two seasons. He later attended Thomas Jefferson School of Law.
Gaines was born to Harry and Stephanie Gaines on April 27, 1989, and grew up in Victorville, California. From a young age, he became interested in basketball, watching game tape of Michael Jordan at age three. In his childhood, his mother introduced him to acting and modeling, and he played a minor role in the 1999 film Michael Jordan: An American Hero as a young Jordan.
Gaines attended Serrano High School in Phelan, California, where he played four years of varsity basketball as a point guard under head coach Mike Browning. He became his team's leading scorer only as a freshman. For his sophomore year, Gaines was promoted to team captain, a position he held until graduating. During the season, he averaged 23.6 points and 5.2 assists per game, among the top in Southern California, and he featured in the Los Angeles Times column for his accomplishments.
Prior to his junior year, Gaines was rated the second-best point guard in the region. He recorded 18 points and 6 assists in a win over Sultana High School on January 11, 2006. During the season, he broke the school record for most career points, finishing with 2,086 points by the end of his high school years. On January 17, 2007, as a senior, Gaines scored 30 points and grabbed 7 rebounds to defeat Hesperia High School. In his sophomore, junior, and senior seasons, he was named Mojave River League most valuable player, Daily Press Athlete of the Year, and first-team All-California Interscholastic Federation (CIF). He led Serrano to three straight league titles and a combined 48–9 record in his final two years. Gaines also saw success academically, leaving high school with a 3.7 grade point average (GPA).
Rated a three-star recruit by 247Sports.com coming out of high school, Gaines committed to play for the Penn Quakers on October 10, 2006. By the summer of 2007, he had enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania. On November 20, 2007, Gaines recorded a season-high 12 assists to go with 9 points in a win over The Citadel. He scored a season-best 19 points twice in games against Cornell on February 9, 2008, and March 7. In his freshman season, Gaines averaged 6.7 points, 3.6 assists, 1.7 rebounds, and 0.7 steals per game, leading the Ivy League in assist-to-turnover ratio and earning Ivy League Rookie of the Week honors on two occasions.
In his second-year debut for the Quakers, the point guard posted 10 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists in a loss to North Carolina. On February 27, 2009, against Yale, Gaines had a career-high 24 points, shooting 10-of-15 from the field. As a sophomore, he averaged 9.9 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 0.4 steals per game. He finished second on the team in points and 14th in the Ivy League. In March 2009, Gaines announced plans to transfer from Penn, later expressing dissatisfaction because they moved him to the shooting guard position. He stated, "I need to attend a school where I have confidence in the basketball team's leaders."
Gaines began playing for the UC Riverside Highlanders starting in the 2010–11 season, after redshirting one year. However, his playing time decreased upon the arrival of Santa Clara transfer Robert Smith. He made his UC Riverside debut on November 12, 2010, against UNLV, scoring 5 points in 20 minutes. After playing only 15 games in his junior season, he was averaging 2.3 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 0.7 assists in 7.8 minutes per game.
As a senior for the Highlanders, in 13.3 minutes per game, Gaines averaged 3.8 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists. He notched a career-high with his new team on November 27, 2011, contributing 13 points against Washington State.
