Everything about Charles Shackleford totally explained
Charles Edward Shackleford (born
April 22 1966 in
Kinston,
North Carolina) is an American former professional
basketball player.
Shackleford played
collegiate basketball at
North Carolina State University. He was selected by the
New Jersey Nets in the 2nd round (32nd overall pick) of the
1988 NBA Draft. He played in six NBA seasons as a forward-center for the Nets,
Philadelphia 76ers,
Minnesota Timberwolves and
Charlotte Hornets. Shackleford's best year as a pro came during the 1989-1990 NBA season when he averaged 8.2
points per game in 70 games for the Nets. Having played in top European teams, he led the 1995-96
Euroleague in rebounds averaging 12.3 per game with
Fenerbahçe Ülker and won the 1997
Korac Cup wearing
Aris' Thessaloniki jersey.
Shackleford is sometimes remembered for telling a reporter after an NC State basketball game that "I can shoot with my left hand, I can shoot with my right hand, I'm amphibious".
Also, ABC News reported that during the 1987-88 season as many as four NC State players, including forward Charles Shackleford, conspired to hold down the scores of four games in return for cash payments from a New Jersey contractor. According to the report, one of the games was March 6, 1988 against Wake Forest. NC State defeated Wake Forest by four points, after being favored by 16. According to Shackleford's lawyer and agent, Sal DiFazio, Shackleford never shaved points, although he admitted taking $65,000 from two men. One of these men was identified by ABC as the key figure in the point-shaving scheme (Los Angeles Times, 3/3/90).
