Leon Clark (born June 11, 1943) is an American former basketball player. He played at Thornton Township High School in his hometown of Harvey, Illinois, and led his team to a second-place state finish in his junior season.[1] Clark played collegiately for the Wyoming Cowboys where he is considered one of the program's greatest players.[2] He played as an undersized center for the Cowboys and led the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) in rebounding in 1965 and 1966.[2] Clark earned first-team All-WAC honors in his final two seasons. Clark finished his collegiate career as the Cowboys' all-time leader in rebounds with 889.[2][a]

Clark was selected by the Boston Celtics as the 18th overall pick of the 1966 NBA draft. He and his representative wrote a letter to Celtics general manager Red Auerbach asking for a two-year guaranteed deal worth $40,000. Auerbach read the letter aloud before he tore it up while negotiating the contract of fellow Celtics draft pick Jim Barnett, who received a much lower offer.[4] Clark spent the 1966 preseason with the Celtics and was considered a strong contender to make the final roster a month before the season began after he attempted to translate his playing position to a forward.[5] He was cut by the Celtics before the start of the 1966–67 season and ultimately never played a game in the National Basketball Association (NBA).

Clark played for the Hartford Capitols of the Eastern Professional Basketball League during the 1966–67 season.[6] He also played professionally in Europe.[1]

Clark was inducted into the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 1974 and the University of Wyoming Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame in 2004.[1][7]
