Raymond "Circus" King
Raymond "Circus" King is a basketball player originally from the San Francisco Bay Area. He went to El Cerrito High School, where he excelled as a point guard and eventually went to play college ball at UC Berkeley. Throughout his career, he has always participated in the San Francisco Pro-Am Basketball League during his summers. His flashy style of play has earned him the nickname "Circus". On the court, he is a hard and serious player, but will capitalize any opportunity to wow the crowd with his incredible ball handling skills and keen vision to see the court without directly looking at specific players. Another of his signature moves is the moonshot finger roll, in which he lets the ball sail higher than the backboard, over the out-stretched arms of the defenders and perfectly into the hoop. It is an impressive and necessary move, as he is only 5 foot 10 inches, a short height for a basketball player.
After attending UC Berkeley for college, he played in several European and other International leagues including Switzerland, Iran, and currently, Russia.
