Jerry Stackhouse played 18 years in the NBA and is said to have an estimated net worth of $60 million as per Celebrity Net Worth. He earned $84 million from his base contracts alone from the National Basketball Association. He has also worked as an NBC TV analyst.
Stackhouse was a shot-caller on the court and was viewed as a key offensive mind. According to this source, in Detroit, he signed a seven-year contract extension worth $40.05 million in 1999. Before that, Philly had signed him on an eight-year deal worth $8.8 million in 1995. The Dallas Mavericks gave him a three-year $21 million deal in 2006, and in his final years, he made the veteran minimum of $1.3 million with the Atalanta Hawks and the Brooklyn Nets.
Jerry Stackhouse was once dubbed the “next Jordan” due to him attending North Carolina, being 6’6″, and playing a similar style of basketball in the same position. He was picked third overall by the Philadelphia 76ers and led the team in scoring his rookie season to make it into the All-Rookie First Team in 1995. The Detroit Pistons traded for him midway through the 1997-98 campaign and got a 20 ppg player in the second year.
The Washington Wizards then opted to sign him in a six-player transaction during the 2002 offseason. He led the team in points scored and assists collected, being the only player to do so over an aging Michael Jordan. He was then shifted out to the Dallas Mavericks for Tar Heel and NBA All-Star Antawn Jamison in 2004. He became more of a sixth man in Dallas due to injuries, beginning the decline in his playing career.
In 2009, he switched to Memphis, where he was bought out of his contract. Milwaukee signed him for the remainder of the season, after which Stackhouse moved on to Miami Heat. He featured for Atalanta and Brooklyn for two seasons before hanging up his boots for good. He was named into the NBA All-Star team twice and collected 16,409 points, 3,067 assists, and 3,240 rebounds.
Stackhouse shortly made it into a coaching role, helping Toronto into the second round of the Eastern Conference in his first year. He was named the 905 Raptors head coach, the NBA Development League team. He voiced his ambitions of becoming a head coach in the NBA, serving as an assistant in Memphis, and now contracted to Vanderbilt Commodores on a six-year contract.
Jerry Stackhouse completed the Harvard Business School executive program Business of Entertainment, Media, and Sports in 2017. He is the younger brother of former Sacramento Kings and Boston Celtics forward Tony Dawson. He also sang the US National Anthem ahead of Bucks 2010 and Nets 2013 playoff appearances.
Stackhouse became a pescatarian for a short while but has chosen to return to his original diet of eating beef. He grew up as the youngest of 11 kids learning the values of religion, close family relations, and athleticism.
In 2001, he led the NBA in total points scored but finished second in points per game behind Allen Iverson.
Jerry Stackhouse is one of four players to play with Michael Jordan and LeBron James.
