Shellie McMillon, Jr. (March 11, 1936 – July 11, 1980) was an American professional basketball player.[1] McMillon was selected in the 1958 NBA draft by the Detroit Pistons after a collegiate career at Bradley University.[1] He played for the Pistons and St. Louis Hawks during his four-year NBA career.[1]
Although their surnames are spelled differently, McMillon was the older brother of Ernie McMillan, who played 15 seasons with the NFL's St. Louis Cardinals. Ernie's son Erik McMillan was a defensive back for the New York Jets.
Shellie McMillon was one of the stars of a DuSable High School team from Chicago that won back-to-back Chicago Public League championships and in 1954 became the first team with black players and a black coach to play in the Illinois state championship game.
