Ken Sailors, American basketball player (died 2016)

Kenneth Lloyd Sailors was an American professional basketball player and played basketball in the 1940s and early 1950s. A 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m) guard, he is regarded as being one of the players who developed the jump shot as an alternative to the two-handed, flat-footed set shot. After being named All-American in college basketball for Wyoming in 1942 and 1943, Sailors served in the United States Marine Corps during World War II and returned to play for the Cowboys after the war again winning All-American honors in 1946. Sailors played pro basketball for several teams, then moved to Alaska with his wife and became a high school basketball coach in Glennallen, Alaska north of Valdez.
