Kenneth Lavon "Chucky" Atkins (born August 14, 1974) is an American former professional basketball player who played for 9 different NBA teams throughout his career.

After playing four years (1992–1996) of college basketball at the University of South Florida, he was undrafted in the 1996 NBA draft. In 1996–97, he played with the now-defunct LaCrosse Bobcats in the CBA before going overseas to play for the Cibona Zagreb club in Croatia from 1997–1999.

Atkins started his NBA career in 1999 with the Orlando Magic, with immediate impact (all games played, averaging 9 points and four assists per game). He then played for the Detroit Pistons (being included in a July 2000 deal which brought Grant Hill to Orlando) and Boston Celtics (being traded midway through 2003–04 for Mike James, thus not appearing in the 2004 NBA Finals).

In 2004, Atkins was traded in a multi-player deal which sent Gary Payton to Boston and Atkins to the Los Angeles Lakers. During 2004–05, he registered career-highs in points (14 ppg) and minutes (35), playing and starting in all 82 regular season contests.

Atkins was traded along with Caron Butler to the Washington Wizards in exchange for Kwame Brown and Laron Profit in the 2005 offseason. As Atkins appeared sparingly throughout the season, the Wizards bought out the remainder of his contract on January 18, 2006. Atkins had voiced displeasure with the amount of playing time he was receiving, and he and the team both felt a change of scenery was needed.
