1982

Jameer Lamar Nelson Sr. (born February 9, 1982) is an American former professional basketball player who serves as general manager for the Delaware Blue Coats of the NBA G League.

1988

Nelson was the first Atlantic 10 athlete to be on the cover of the magazine since Mark Macon in 1988.

2000

In 2000, he helped lead his team to the PIAA AAAA State championship.

Nelson began his play at Saint Joseph's University in the 2000–01 season.

He had a breakout freshman season in which he was named unanimous National Freshman of the Year.

2002

During his junior season in 2002–03, he averaged 19.7 points per game, 5.1 rebounds per game, and 4.7 assists per game.

2003

He declared for the 2003 NBA draft, but later decided to remain for his senior season.

Nelson led the Saint Joseph's Hawks to a 27–0 regular season record in 2003–04.

The Hawks' first loss came in the Atlantic 10 tournament to Xavier.

Nelson and junior guard Delonte West formed what was largely considered the nation's best backcourt, helping the Hawks earn a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament.

They advanced to the Elite Eight and were within seconds of the Final Four before Oklahoma State Cowboys' John Lucas III hit a three-pointer with only a few seconds remaining (after the make, Nelson dribbled up the court and had a chance to tie the game, but his 15-foot shot fell short).

Saint Joseph's finished with a 30–2 record, the best in the university's history.

Nelson averaged 20.6 points, 5.3 assists, and 2.9 steals per game.

He received the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award his final year, recognizing him as the nation's top senior men's basketball player.

He left the Hawks as the best player in the program's history, as its all-time leader in scoring (2,094 points), assists (714), and steals (256).

The following year, Nelson helped lead the Magic back into the postseason for the first time since 2003.

He averaged 14.3 points, 3 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game during the NBA playoffs, however the Magic were ultimately swept by the top-seeded Detroit Pistons in the first round.

2004

He played college basketball for the Saint Joseph's Hawks, where he was named national college player of the year in 2004.

Drafted 20th overall in the 2004 NBA draft, Nelson spent the first ten years of his NBA career with the Orlando Magic.

Nelson's number was retired by the university on April 23, 2004.

Because of his extraordinary accomplishments as a senior, Nelson won the 2004 Wooden Award, the 2004 Naismith Award, the 2004 Bob Cousy Award, the Rupp Trophy, the Oscar Robertson Trophy and many more accolades, including being featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

Nelson was selected with the 20th overall pick in the 2004 NBA draft by the Denver Nuggets, and was subsequently traded to the Orlando Magic for a 2005 first-round draft pick.

Though many speculated he would be a top 10 pick, he fell to number 20, and the Magic were able to acquire both Nelson and Dwight Howard in the same draft.

As a rookie, Nelson served as the primary backup to the Magic's All-Star point guard Steve Francis.

Due to Nelson's impressive play, the Magic moved Francis to shooting guard to make room for Nelson to start at point guard.

He was named to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team, and garnered Rookie of the Year consideration.

2006

On February 22, 2006, the Magic dealt Francis to the New York Knicks, paving the way for Nelson to become the long-term starting point guard of Orlando.

Nelson's play improved with the mid-season trade of Francis, finishing the season with averages of 14.6 points and 5 assists per game on 48.3% field goal shooting.

2008

During the 2008 All-Star weekend Slam Dunk Contest, Nelson assisted teammate Dwight Howard on several of his dunks, including the famous Superman dunk.

That year, the Magic once again made the playoffs, defeating the Toronto Raptors in the first round before falling to the Pistons in the second round.

He averaged 16.2 points, 4.7 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game through the playoffs, helping Orlando to their first playoff series win in 12 years.

Nelson set career highs in points, steals, and shooting percentages during the 2008–09 NBA season.

2009

In 2009, he was named an All-Star and made an appearance in the NBA Finals with the Magic.

He has also played for the Dallas Mavericks, Boston Celtics, Denver Nuggets, New Orleans Pelicans and Detroit Pistons.

Nelson attended Chester High School in Chester, Pennsylvania and was a letterman in basketball.

He, along with teammates Dwight Howard and Rashard Lewis, were selected to play in the 2009 NBA All-Star Game.

However, a torn labrum in Nelson's right shoulder, a potential season-ending injury, forced him to miss the game.

Nelson was averaging 16.7 points per game and 5.4 assists at the time.

After a four-month recovery, Nelson returned for the NBA Finals with the controversial decision by Stan Van Gundy for allowing him to play in heavy minutes by limiting Rafer Alston playing, which led the team into demise as the Magic were defeated by the Lakers in five games.

On November 16, Nelson suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee, and had arthroscopic surgery to repair his knee.
