Chris McCray

Chris McCray (born May 27, 1984 in Capitol Heights, Maryland) is an American professional basketball player. He formerly played for the Milwaukee Bucks of the NBA.

A 6'5", 205 lb guard, he attended and played basketball collegiately at the University of Maryland, but dismissed from the team after he was found academically ineligible.[1] He was not selected in the 2006 NBA Draft, but signed a free agent contract with the Milwaukee Bucks in September 2006, making the team's 15-player roster.[2]

In August 2005 McCray was involved in a street fight on campus at the University of Maryland, College Park, and he was jailed a night for refusing to leave the scene and resisting arrest.[3][4] Charges of disturbing the public peace, resisting arrest and escaping from custody were later dropped.[5]

Chris now plays basketball overseas and works part-time as a basketball trainer for a company called Beltway Trainer.
