Jack Kevin Haley (born January 27, 1964 in Long
Beach, California) is an American former professional basketball player. A
6'10" forward/center from UCLA, Haley spent
nine seasons (1988–1992; 1993–1998) in the National Basketball
Association as a member of the Chicago Bulls, New Jersey Nets, Los Angeles
Lakers, and San Antonio Spurs.
Haley was a member of the 1995-96 Bulls
team which won a league-record 72 games and the NBA
Championship, although he only played in one game during the
regular season and did not participate in the playoffs.[1] He was
mainly known for his friendship with Dennis Rodman, and quickly earned a
reputation as Rodman's "babysitter". However, Haley bristled at the
label, and argued that he had legitimately earned his spot on the
team.[2]
Following his playing career, Haley became a television
broadcaster for the Lakers, co hosting the Lakers
Live pre game show with Bill Macdonald for Fox
Sports Net West/Prime Ticket. Haley has also acted, appearing
in the films Eddie and Rebound, as
well as the music
video for Aerosmith's "Love in an Elevator."
