Jamaal Dane Magloire (pronounced /jəˈmɑːl məˈɡlɔːr/; born May 21, 1978) is a Canadian former professional basketball player who currently serves as basketball development consultant and community ambassador for the Toronto Raptors. He played 12 seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA) for the Charlotte Hornets, New Orleans Hornets, Milwaukee Bucks, Portland Trail Blazers, New Jersey Nets, Dallas Mavericks, Miami Heat, and Toronto Raptors. The 6 ft 11 in (2.11 m), 265 lb (120 kg; 18.9 st) center was selected out of the University of Kentucky by the Charlotte Hornets, with the 19th overall pick in the 2000 NBA draft, after withdrawing his name from the previous draft. He was voted into the NBA All-Star Game in 2004, becoming the second Canadian All-Star in NBA history.
Magloire was born in Toronto, Ontario, to Trinidadian immigrant parents, Garth, a welder, and Marion, an insurance worker. He was raised in the city's Scarborough district and attended high school at Eastern Commerce Collegiate Institute, where he led the school's grade 12 boys basketball team to back-to-back Ontario provincial championships in 1995 and 1996.
In 1996, Magloire enrolled at the University of Kentucky. He was named to the SEC All-Freshman team in 1997. Magloire started 12 games as a sophomore for the Kentucky Wildcats team that won the national championship in 1998. He was a first-team All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) selection in his senior season. He finished his college career as Kentucky's all-time leader in blocked shots, with 268. Magloire's tenure with the Wildcats earned him the nickname "Big Cat".
He was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets with the 19th pick of the 2000 NBA draft, and filled a reserve role for his first two seasons in which he averaged 6.5 points in 16.8 minutes per game. In the 2002–03 season, the Hornets' first year in New Orleans, he started all 82 games, averaging 10.3 points and 8.8 rebounds per game.
During the 2003–04 season, Magloire averaged 13.6 points and 10.3 rebounds per game while starting all 82 games, and was named to the Eastern Conference All-Star Team. He became only the second Canadian All-Star in NBA history, after Steve Nash. Magloire played well, leading the Eastern All-Stars with 19 points, along with 8 rebounds in 21 minutes of action.
On October 26, 2005, he was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for Desmond Mason, a 2006 first-round draft pick and cash considerations. On January 21, 2006, Magloire recorded a career-high 22 rebounds and scored 13 points, during a 101–91 win over the Charlotte Bobcats.
On July 31, 2006, during the off-season, Magloire was traded to the Portland Trail Blazers for Steve Blake, Ha Seung-Jin, and Brian Skinner.
Although Magloire has averaged nearly 10 points per game throughout his entire NBA career, he did not score over nine points in a single game during his first 20 games as a Trail Blazer. In fact, only eight times did Magloire record over 11 points during 81 regular season games in the 2006–07 season. Magloire finished the season with an average of only 21 minutes played per game, down from 30 minutes played in the previous two seasons. Magloire became a free agent in the off-season.
