Timeline
Lonnie Wright (January 23, 1945 – March 23, 2012) was an American professional basketball and football player who played in the same season for the Denver Rockets of the American Basketball Association and the Denver Broncos of the American Football League before switching to basketball on a full-time basis.
Wright was born in Newark, New Jersey and attended South Side High School (since renamed Malcolm X Shabazz High School), where he earned All-City, All-County, All-State, and All-American honors in both football and basketball.
He scored 1,246 points in his college basketball career, and was part of the Rams team that made it to the 22-team 1966 NCAA Tournament, losing in the first round to the University of Houston team led by Elvin Hayes and Don Chaney.
Wright was drafted in the sixth round of the 1966 NBA draft by the St. Louis Hawks (now the Atlanta Hawks), but did not sign with the team.
Despite the fact Wright never played football in college, the Dallas Cowboys of the NFL also showed interest.
He signed with the Denver Broncos of the American Football League on April 16, 1966, playing for the team in 1966 and 1967.
As a safety, he intercepted one pass in the 1966 season and four more the following year.
He caught a single pass in his career, losing two yards on the reception.
A 6-foot 2 inch (1.88 m), 205 pound (93 kg) guard, he played for five seasons in the American Basketball Association, four seasons with the Rockets (1967–1971) and a single season with The Floridians (1971–1972).
Switching sports, Wright signed with the Denver Rockets (predecessor to the Denver Nuggets) on January 5, 1968, starting play with the Rockets just weeks after the end of the football season.
He scored 3,590 points and averaged 10.7 points per game over his career, with the 1968–69 season marking his career bests, scoring 1,130 points and 16.4 points per game, second on the team in both statistics behind Larry Jones.
Wright was inducted into the Newark Athletic Hall of Fame in 1988 and into the Colorado State University Sports Hall of Fame the following year.
Wright served as the Director of Students at the New Jersey Medical School of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in Newark.
He was inducted into the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association Hall of Fame in 1997.
Wright attended Colorado State University, where he played basketball and set the school's shot put record of 52 feet, 9 inches.
A resident of South Orange, New Jersey, Wright died at the age of 67 at his home there on March 23, 2012, due to congestive heart failure.
Wright's wife Johanna was head coach of the girls' basketball team at Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey until 2014.
