Isaac "Bud" Stallworth (born January 18, 1950) is a retired American basketball player. He was a 6'5" (1.96 m) and 190 lb (86 kg) shooting guard and played college basketball at the University of Kansas (KU) where he was named 1972 All-Big Eight Player of the Year.[1] He had a professional career in the NBA from 1972 - 1977.

Stallworth was selected 7th overall by the Seattle SuperSonics in the 1972 NBA draft, and by the Denver Rockets in the 1972 ABA Draft.[1] [2] After two seasons with the Sonics, he was made available in the 1974 expansion draft to be selected by the New Orleans Jazz,[3] for whom he played for three seasons. His playing career was cut short due to a back injury sustained in an automobile accident in 1977.[4] In 1972 while at KU, Stallworth scored 50 points in a win against Missouri.[4] [5]

In 1978, Stallworth graduated from KU with a bachelor of social work degree.[1]
