Sean Michael-Eli Singletary (born September 6, 1985) is an American retired professional basketball player who played in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and other professional leagues. He played college basketball at the University of Virginia, where his jersey is retired.
Singletary was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He attended C. W. Henry Elementary School in Mount Airy, Philadelphia, attended The Haverford School and then The Perkiomen School for his freshman and sophomore years of high school, then attended high school at William Penn Charter School in Philadelphia for his junior and senior years. He was also a football player in high school, excelling at wide receiver, but he gave up the sport to focus on basketball.
Considered a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Singletary was listed as the No. 10 point guard and the No. 56 player in the nation in 2004.
Singletary improved upon his All-ACC Freshman performance in 2004–05 by averaging 17.7 points per game and earning all-ACC first team honors during his sophomore season, which included his second highest scoring game, a 35-point effort against an Adam Morrison-led Gonzaga team.
Singletary was Virginia's floor leader during their pivotal 2006–07 season in which the team moved from their old home at University Hall across the street to the 130 million dollar John Paul Jones Arena. Virginia enjoyed perhaps its best season since 1994–95 with Singletary and senior J. R. Reynolds forming one of the most outstanding backcourt combinations in the history of Cavalier basketball.
