Timeline

1962

Jerome Kersey (June 26, 1962 – February 18, 2015) was an American professional basketball player in the National Basketball Association (NBA).

1984

He played for the Portland Trail Blazers (1984–1995), Golden State Warriors (1995–96), Los Angeles Lakers (1996–97), Seattle SuperSonics (1997–98), San Antonio Spurs (1998–2000), and Milwaukee Bucks (2000–01).

The Trail Blazers selected Kersey in the second round of the 1984 NBA draft from Longwood University (then Longwood College) in Farmville, Virginia.

Coming from a school that was not known as a basketball powerhouse, Kersey was selected in the second round of the 1984 NBA draft (46th overall pick) by the Portland Trail Blazers.

He was a regular contributor from the bench, eventually becoming a starter, and by his third year, he began to shine, even coming in second behind Michael Jordan in the Slam Dunk Contest.

1987

The 1987–88 season, was his best statistically, as he averaged 19.2 points and 8.3 rebounds.

1990

He became a starter and was part of the nucleus of a strong Portland team, along with Clyde Drexler, Terry Porter, Buck Williams, and Kevin Duckworth that made it to the NBA Finals two out of the next three years (in 1990 and 1992).

However, in subsequent years Clifford Robinson would take his place and Kersey found himself spending more time on the bench.

1995

By 1995, Portland had several talented forwards, and he was left unprotected in that year's 1995 NBA expansion draft when he was selected by the Toronto Raptors, but they waived him before the 1995–96 season began.

He signed with the Golden State Warriors, where he started 58 games, and had an altercation with Latrell Sprewell, which resulted in the latter threatening to bring a gun to practice.

1996

For the 1996–97 season Kersey signed with the Los Angeles Lakers as a free agent, and he had a quite productive year, logging his most playing time in five seasons, because trades and injuries had left the Lakers thin.

1997

The 1997–98 season saw Kersey go to his fourth team in four years, but injuries kept him out of the Seattle SuperSonics' lineup for most of the season.

1998

For the lockout-shortened 1998–99 season, Kersey found himself on the San Antonio Spurs.

1999

Kersey won an NBA championship with the Spurs in 1999.

He was a member of the Spurs during their 1999 NBA Finals victory over the New York Knicks.

The team won the 1999 NBA championship.

Kersey provided frontcourt depth and experience off the bench in the team's title run, although his scoring, rebounding, and minutes played were all career lows.

He stayed with the Spurs for another season.

Kersey spent his final season in the NBA with the Milwaukee Bucks, who fell short in the Eastern Conference Finals.

2000

He retired at the conclusion of the 2000–01 season.

As a Portland Trail Blazer, Kersey was near the top in many of Portland's career categories at the time of his leaving, including games played (second), minutes played (third), scoring (third), rebounding (second), assists (sixth), steals (third), field goals made (fourth), and blocked shots (second).

2001

Following his retirement in 2001, Kersey served as a coach in various capacities for several teams.

For a short time, Kersey worked for Wells Fargo home mortgages.

2003

During the 2003–04 NBA season, Kersey was hired by the Trail Blazers to serve as director of player programs.

After a season in that capacity, Kersey was hired as an assistant coach by the Milwaukee Bucks, where he served under his former Portland teammate, head coach Terry Porter.

2005

Following his playing career, Kersey worked with his former Portland teammate and then-head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks Terry Porter as an assistant in 2005.

He served with the Bucks for one year, but was let go (along with Mike Schuler, who coached both Kersey and Porter while in Portland) on May 6, 2005.

Porter was subsequently fired as the Bucks' coach later that year.

For a period of time following, Kersey joined the automotive industry as an auto wholesaler.

In November 2005, Kersey was in Longwood's first Hall of Fame class.

Others included baseball player Michael Tucker and LPGA golfer Tina Barrett.

2006

However, it was not until May 2006 that Kersey graduated from Longwood, having only needed two more college courses to graduate for some years.

2008

In 2008, Kersey was inducted into the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame and was selected to receive the 2015 recipient of the William Henry Ruffner Alumni Award, the highest award given to a Longwood alumni.

2013

Kersey married his girlfriend of over nine years, Teri (Teresa Folsom) Donnerberg, on September 21, 2013 at the Columbia Edgewater Country Club in Portland, Oregon.

Together, they have four children from previous relationships.

2015

Kersey died from a pulmonary embolism caused by a blood clot at his home in Tualatin, Oregon, on February 18, 2015.

Kersey attended the then Longwood College, at the time an NCAA Division II school, where he set school records for points, rebounds, steals and blocked shots while making 57% of his baskets.

As a senior, his rebounding average of 14.2 led all Division II players.

On February 18, 2015, Kersey died suddenly at the age of 52.

2016

The court at Willett Hall, Longwood's basketball facility, was posthumously named in his honor on December 3, 2016.
