Keyon Latwae Dooling (born May 8, 1980 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida) is an American professional basketball player who currently plays for the New Jersey Nets of the National Basketball Association.

Basketball career

A 6'3" (1.90 m), 195 lbs (89 kg) point guard from the University of Missouri, Dooling was selected by the Orlando Magic with the 10th overall pick of the 2000 NBA Draft, and traded on draft day to the Los Angeles Clippers along with Corey Maggette, Derek Strong and cash for a future first-round selection. He underachieved in Los Angeles, as critics charged that he was a 'shoot-first' point guard in the mold of Steve Francis.

Dooling signed with the Miami Heat for 2004-05, and returned to the team that originally selected him in the draft, the Orlando Magic, in the 2005 NBA off-season, where he was used as a backup guard, at both positions, during his three-year stint.

In July 2008, Dooling was re-signed by the Magic then traded to the New Jersey Nets. This was done after a contract dispute in which he felt the Magic "insulted" him by offering a contract worth only 2 years and $4M.fact|date=July 2008Dooling is represented by Rob Pelinka.
