College career

He played college basketball at the University of Alabama Birmingham with the school's UAB Blazers. He is mostly remembered for hitting the game winning shot against the No. 1 overall seed Kentucky in the Second Round of the 2004 NCAA Tournament.

Pro career

He joined the Serbian League club Mornar Bar in 2004. He led the Serbian League in scoring during the 2004-05 season, averaging 23.3 points per game. In 2005, he joined the Greek League club Olympia Larissa for only 3 games. He then joined the Belgian club BC Liège. In 2007, he joined the Italian League club NS Rieti, and was the Serie A top scorer with 20.3 points per game. In 2008, he moved to Montepaschi Siena, where he won the Italian Championship. However, he did not find much space, as he was the back-up of Siena's leader Terrell McIntyre; so, in 2009, he moved to Olimpia Milano.[1] He started the season with Armani Jeans with a stunning performance, scoring 28 points on 10/16 shooting in a 66-73 loss against Milano's rival, Pallacanestro Varese. He led Olimpia both in Euroleague and in Serie A, until he suffered a strain on January, 11, 2010. He is expected to miss three months.[2]
