Stephen "Stevie" Graham (born June 11 1982, in Wilmington, Delaware) is an American professional basketball player for the Indiana Pacers of the NBA, with whom he signed in July 2007. [ [http://www.montgomerysportsgroup.com/swen/news_renew.php?subaction=showfull&id=1184681820&archive=&start_from=&ucat=4& Stevie Signs with the Pacers] ] After playing college basketball through his senior year, including two years with the Oklahoma State Cowboys, Graham declared for the NBA Draft in 2005. However, he was not selected. He played for the Phoenix Suns in the Las Vegas Summer League, and then for the San Antonio Spurs during the 2005 preseason, but was not offered a longer contract by either team. He then joined the Continental Basketball Association, a minor league, signing with the Sioux Falls Skyforce; he went on to appear in the 2006 CBA All-Star game.

Graham was signed by the Houston Rockets on December 10, 2005, but was cut on December 29 after playing in six games.

However, Graham saw limited playing time with the Bulls and his contract was not extended when it expired. On February 6, Graham was signed to a 10-day contract by the Cleveland Cavaliers; this contract was later extended through the rest of the season.

Stephen Graham has a fraternal twin brother, Joey, a Toronto Raptors player, who was chosen in 2005 NBA Draft with the 16th overall pick by the Raptors. The two played on the same team throughout their college careers. Both Graham brothers graduated from college with degrees in aviation management and are licensed pilots.
