Charles Edward Share (March 14, 1927 – June 7, 2012) was an American basketball player.
With Share, Bowling Green won 28 games in 1946-47, 27 games in 1947-48, 24 games in 1948-49 and 19 games in 1949-50.
Share has his career-high 39 points against Loyola (Calif.) on Dec. 22, 1949 in Madison Square Garden.
Share was drafted by the Celtics, whose fans wanted the team to draft local Holy Cross star, Bob Cousy with the pick.
The Celtics' new Coach Red Auerbach defended the unpopular pick of Share, saying "We need a big man. Little men are a dime a dozen. I'm supposed to win, not go after local yokels."
In an irony, future Hall of Famer Cousy ended up being drafted third by the Tri-Cities Blackhawks.
Cousy then balked at playing in Moline, Illinois, eventually forcing his rights to be sold to the Chicago Stags.
The Stags then folded before the season and the Celtics chose Cousy in the dispersal draft.
For his part, Share did not sign with the Celtics.
Share has the distinction of being the first NBA draft pick ever: Share was the No. 1 draft pick in the first organized National Basketball Association draft on April 25, 1950.

Instead he signed with the Waterloo Hawks in the fledgling National Professional Basketball League (1950–51), playing for Coach Jack Smiley.
Share averaged 11.0 points for the Hawks, playing in 19 games.
The NPBL, composed of some former NBA teams in small markets and new teams in major markets, folded after the season.
Then on April 26, 1951, Share's rights were traded by the Celtics to the Fort Wayne Pistons for future Hall of Famer Bill Sharman, who had refused to sign with the Pistons.
In two-and-a-half seasons with Fort Wayne, Share averaged 4.2 points and 5.1 rebounds in limited playing time.
On December 21, 1953, Share was traded by the Fort Wayne Pistons to the Milwaukee Hawks for Max Zaslofsky.
In seven seasons with the Milwaukee/St Louis Hawks, Share averaged a near double-double of 9.2 points and 9.9 rebounds.
Share was named as the team captain and the Hawks made the NBA Finals against the Celtics for three consecutive years.
