Sedale Eugene Threatt (/θriːt/ THREET;[1] born September 10, 1961) is an American former professional basketball player in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Born in Atlanta, Georgia, Threatt played college basketball at the West Virginia Institute of Technology from 1979 to 1983. Nicknamed "the Thief" for his ability to steal the basketball, Threatt has the distinction of being the last sixth round pick to play in the NBA (the NBA draft was shortened to the now-current two rounds in 1989). He is also notable as the only player in NBA history who was a teammate of Julius Erving, Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson. He played in the NBA from 1983–1997 and finished his basketball career overseas.
