Kevin Burleson (born April 9, 1979) is an American retired professional basketball player. He played college basketball for the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers and began his professional career in the German basketball league. He played for the Charlotte Bobcats of the National Basketball Association (NBA) from 2005–2006.
Burleson was born in Seattle, Washington. He was born to a prolific sporting family: his father, Alvin Burleson, played defensive back in the Canadian Football League (CFL) and the United States Football League (USFL). His older brother Alvin Jr. played college football for the University of Washington Huskies and the Western Illinois University Leathernecks. His younger brother Nate is currently a free agent of the National Football League (NFL). His younger brother Lyndale played college basketball for the University of Nevada Wolf Pack. Burleson is a 6'3", 205 lb. point guard. Kevin and Nate Burleson are one of only two sets of siblings in which one played in the NBA and one in the NFL. Like his brothers he played several sports early on, but gave up baseball as he found it too slow, and gave up football for fear of an injury that would prevent him from playing basketball.
