Jim Gregory

James M. Gregory (born July 25, 1949) is an American former basketball player. He is known for his collegiate career playing for the Pirates at East Carolina University from 1968–69 to 1970–71. In three seasons he scored 1,193 points, grabbed 852 rebounds and was named the Southern Conference Co-Player of the Year as a senior. Gregory averaged a team-leading 18.3 points per game as well as 11.5 rebounds per game that season en route to sharing the award with William & Mary's Tom Jasper.

Although the Pirates never won a conference championship nor participated in any postseason tournaments during his career, Gregory was part of a unique historical oddity during his junior season in 1969–70: the three starting frontcourt players all averaged double-doubles for the year. Additionally, each of them shared the same first name: Jim Gregory (forward), Jim Fairley (forward), and Jim Modlin (center). Gregory was later inducted into the East Carolina Hall of Fame as part of their 1982 induction class. For his career, he averaged a double-double of 15.5 points and 11.1 rebounds per game (the latter is tied for first all-time in school history).
