Larry Wayne Micheaux (pronounced MEE-shaw) (born March 24, 1960) is a retired American professional basketball player who played for several teams in the National Basketball Association and in Europe.
After earning all-state honors as a senior at E. E. Worthing High School in Houston, Texas, Micheaux attended the University of Houston, where he earned honorable mention All-America honors. He was a member of the Cougars' Phi Slama Jama men's team under head coach Guy Lewis that reached three NCAA Final Fours. As a senior, he averaged 14 points and 7 rebounds a game during that season while playing alongside Akeem Olajuwon, Clyde Drexler, Alvin Franklin, Benny Anders, Reid Gettys and Michael Young. (Olajuwon and Drexler rank as two of the top 50 NBA players of all time.)
Micheaux led the Cougars in field goal percentage in 1979–80 (.530) and 1980–81 (.600). He also led the team in blocked shots in 1980–81 with 49.
