Cedric Lamar Jackson (born March 5, 1986) is an American professional basketball player who last played for Melbourne United of the National Basketball League (NBL). He played two years of college basketball for Cleveland State University where he made a notable game-winning full-court shot against Syracuse and helped Cleveland State past Wake Forest in the first round of the 2009 NCAA Tournament.
As a pro, Jackson is most known for his time spent playing for the New Zealand Breakers of the Australian NBL. Over four seasons with the Breakers, he guided the club to four grand final appearances and three championships. He also won the league's MVP award in 2013, garnered Grand Final MVP honors in 2013 and 2015, and was named to the All-NBL First Team in 2012, 2013 and 2015. He led the NBL in assists in each of his four seasons with the Breakers, becoming the only player in NBL history to lead the league in assists in his first four seasons in the league.
As a high school freshman living in Medical Lake, Washington, Jackson attended Medical Lake High School in 2000–01, where he steered the Cardinals to within a point of a trip to the state tournament. He was enrolled as a sophomore at Ferris High before his Air Force-obligated family moved east. Jackson subsequently enrolled at Northern Burlington County Regional High School in Columbus, New Jersey. He was a first-team all-state selection his senior year among other selections and averaged 26 points per game.
