George Gregory (basketball)
George Gregory, Jr. (1906 in New York City – May 11, 1994 in Washington Heights, New York City, New York) was a basketball player for Columbia University. In 1931, he became the first black basketball player to be selected as an All-American as the 6-foot, 4-inch center leading the Columbia Lions basketball team.〔(NYC Hall Welcomes New Class ).

==Education and basketball==
Gregory led the Columbia Lions to a championship in the Ivy League (then known as the Eastern Intercollegiate League) in the 1930-31 season, together with teammate Lou Bender, the team's first league title. By his senior year, Columbia was playing its games at Madison Square Garden, and finished the season with a record of 21–2. Gregory was selected to multiple All-American squads that season. Though he had a full scholarship at Columbia, Gregory worked as a red cap at Manhattan's Penn Station. After completing his undergraduate degree, he played semi-professional basketball, earning as much as $150 a year, while earning his law degree at St. John's University School of Law as a night student.〔Lyons, Richard D.
