Lucious Jackson
Small College Basketball Hall of Fame
Lucious Jackson
Lucious Jackson was among the 2016 inductees into the inaugural Small College Basketball Hall of Fame on November 17, 2016. Jackson, who retired in 2002 from the City of Beaumont's Parks and Recreation Department, doesn't talk much about his years playing basketball, preferring to lead a quiet, down-to-earth life, but his list of accomplishments in the sport are great. Jackson was a part of the U. S. Olympic team that won the gold at the 1964 Olympics in Japan. Thereafter, he went on to play with the Philadelphia 76'ers until 1972. He and teammates, including famed player center Wilt Chamberlain, secured the NBA tournament in 1966-67 after defeating the storied Boston Celtics. The San Marcos native moved with his wife to Beaumont, her hometown, in 1973. (Source: Beaumont Enterprise)
