Jason Anthoney "J-Rich" Richardson (born January 20 , 1981 in Saginaw, Michigan ) is a professional basketball player, currently playing guard for the National Basketball Association 's Golden State Warriors . The Warriors drafted him with the 5th overall pick in the 2001 NBA Draft out of Michigan State University . It was while playing with Michigan State that he and fellow current NBAplayers Mateen Cleaves , Charlie Bell , and Morris Peterson won an NCAA National Championship. He and Michael Jordan are the only players to win back-to-back Slam Dunk Contests ( Dominique Wilkins and Harold Miner have also won 2, but weren't consecutively). In the 2003 competition, he mesmerized the basketball world with a backward, between-the-legs, one-handed dunk. In recent years, he has developed a nice mid-range shot, and is becoming very good at hitting the three pointer. He and Baron Davis are the Warriors' star players, and get along well on and off the court. This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License .
