James Posey
James Mikely Mantell Posey Jr. (born January 13, 1977) is an American former professional basketball player who currently serves as an assistant coach for the Portland Trail Blazers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played the small forward position for the Denver Nuggets, Memphis Grizzlies, Miami Heat, Boston Celtics, New Orleans Hornets, and Indiana Pacers. Posey won NBA championships as a member of the 2006 Miami Heat and the 2008 Boston Celtics, and as an assistant coach for the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers.
After attending High School in Twinsburg, Ohio, Posey came to Xavier University in the 1995–96 season, but under Prop 48 rules, was ineligible, so sat out his freshman year. Posey ranks 16th on Xavier's all-time scoring list with 1,455 points and 10th on Xavier's all-time rebounding list with 801. Posey led XU in rebounding in each of his three seasons as a Musketeer. Posey earned a long list of honors while at Xavier, including the 1998 Atlantic 10 Championship "Most Outstanding Player" Award in helping XU win its first-ever A-10 Tournament Championship. Posey earned the A-10's "Sixth Man Award" twice and was named 1999 A-10 First Team and 1999 A-10 Defensive Player of the Year. He did all of that while not being a consistent starter in the Xavier lineup, almost always coming off the bench and Posey became well sought after from several sports agents such as Bill Duffy, Andy Miller, Craig McKenzie and Mark Bartelstein. With their permission Posey allowed his interviews to be held in front of the media of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Posey was selected out of Xavier University by the Denver Nuggets with the 18th pick of the 1999 NBA draft. His rookie season, Posey averaged 8.2 points and 3.9 rebounds per game en route to being named to the all-rookie second team.
On December 22, 2001, Posey scored a then career-high 33 points during a 105–101 loss to the Golden State Warriors.
In total, Posey played a little over three seasons with the team.
Posey was sent to the Houston Rockets in a three-team deal also involving the Philadelphia 76ers on December 18, 2002.
After finishing the season with the Rockets, Posey signed with the Memphis Grizzlies as a free agent in the 2003 off-season.
On March 29, 2004, Posey scored a career-high 38 points, including making a three-point shot to force a second overtime, during a 136–133 win against the Atlanta Hawks.
