Henry Wilmore is an American former basketball player who is most known for being a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) All-American in 1972 while playing for the Michigan Wolverines. He played at the University of Michigan from 1970–71 through 1972–73, scored 1,654 points and grabbed 573 rebounds. A native of Manhattan, New York, Wilmore honed his skills and tenacity by playing streetball at well-known basketball courts, such as Rucker Park.
Wilmore did not play college basketball as a freshman in 1969–70. In his three-year career at Michigan, however, he still managed to etch his name into the school's all-time record books by averaging 25.1 points per game as a sophomore, 23.9 ppg as a junior and 21.8 ppg as a senior. His career scoring average of 23.6 ppg is still third at Michigan. A 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) guard/forward swingman, Wilmore was a two-time All-Big Ten Conference First Team selection and one-time All-Big Ten Second Team honoree. He was twice named an All-American, and was a Consensus Second Team All-American as a junior in 1972. He scored 40 or more points in a game three times, including a career-high 42 against Ohio State in 1971. Wilmore led the Wolverines in scoring all three seasons he played for them. The Detroit Pistons of the National Basketball Association (NBA) selected him as the 9th pick in the 5th round (78th overall) in the 1973 NBA Draft, although he never played professionally.
