professional basketball

analyst but remains as an eligible free agent
.
, leading them to an undefeated season. He was a two-time first team Parade All-America selection, and was the MVP of the McDonald's Game. At the 1992 Nike Camp, was considered along with Rasheed Wallace to be the top player at the camp.
Stackhouse attended the University of North Carolina
, where he was a teammate of fellow future NBAer Rasheed Wallace
. Stackhouse declared his eligibility for the 1995 NBA Draft
following his sophomore season with the Tar Heels
.
with the third pick by the Philadelphia 76ers
. At one time he was hyped as the "Next Jordan
" since both players played at North Carolina, went #3 in the draft, were listed at same 6' 6", looked similar physically, and had similarly acrobatic games. Coincidentally, both had a taller power forward from UNC drafted immediately after them in the #4 spot, Sam Perkins
in 1984, and Rasheed Wallace
in 1995.
. Combined, the two posted 44.2 points per game for the Sixers.
Midway through the 1997–98 season
, Stackhouse was dealt to the Detroit Pistons
with Eric Montross
for Theo Ratliff
, Aaron McKie
and future considerations. By the 1999–2000 season
, his second full season with the Pistons, Stackhouse was averaging 23.6 points per game. A year later, he had a career-high average of 29.8 points per game. In a late season victory over the Chicago Bulls

NBA playoffs.
in a six-player deal, also involving Richard Hamilton
.
In his first season with Washington (2002–03), Stackhouse led the Wizards in points and assists per game with 21.5 and 4.5 respectively. He missed most of the 2003–04 season
while recovering from arthroscopic surgery on his right knee
, playing in only 26 games.
and the Wizards' first-round draft pick (Devin Harris
)—was traded to the Dallas Mavericks
in exchange for former Tarheel
and NBA All-Star
Antawn Jamison
. He did not play for 41 games during his first two seasons with Dallas due to groin and continued knee problems, and played mostly the role of sixth man
. During the 2004–05 playoffs, Stackhouse began wearing pressure stockings during games to keep his legs warm to aid his groin injury and hold his thigh sleeves in place; also allows for better blood flow to the legs; the practice quickly became a trend among NBA players, with Kobe Bryant
, Dwyane Wade
, LeBron James
and others adopting pressure stockings the following season.
Stackhouse was still coming off the bench as the 6th man for the Dallas Mavericks
during the 2005-06 NBA season
, however he was a significant factor in the NBA Finals series with the Dallas Mavericks
against the Miami Heat
. The Mavericks suffered, however, when Stackhouse was suspended for Game 5 for a flagrant foul
on Shaquille O'Neal
, and the Heat eventually won the series 4–2. Stackhouse was the third player from the Mavericks suspended during the 2006 playoffs. In February 2008 Stackhouse was one of the players intended for the trade for Jason Kidd from the Nets. After he was traded, he was going to get bought out by the Nets and resign with the Mavericks, but since Stackhouse did not keep this under the table, the league banned Stackhouse from resigning with the Mavericks after a buyout, so the trade never happened with Stackhouse a part of it. (The Kidd deal did eventually happen though)
During the first round of the 2008 NBA Playoffs
between the Mavericks and the New Orleans Hornets, Stackhouse had some harsh words for Hornets coach Byron Scott
. In a radio interview, Stackhouse said the following:
on July 8, 2009, in a four way trade. On the day after the trade, Stackhouse was waived by the Grizzlies. On January 17, 2010, the Milwaukee Bucks signed Stackhouse for the remainder of the 2009–10 season.
agreed to a contract.
On November 23, 2010, the Heat waived Stackhouse to make room for Erick Dampier
who was signed to replace injured forward Udonis Haslem
.
player and one-time Sacramento Kings
and Boston Celtics
forward Tony Dawson
, and the uncle of former Wake Forest University
guard Craig Dawson.
Stackhouse has worn the number 42 in honor of Jackie Robinson
, his favorite athlete. He has twice performed the National Anthem before Mavericks home games, and once during the Bucks 2010 playoff appearance. He was formerly a vegetarian, but is now back to eating meat.
