'''Lucious H. Harris''' (born December 18, 1970) is an American former professional [[basketball]] player who was selected by the [[Dallas Mavericks]] in the second round (28th pick overall) of the [[1993 NBA draft]]. Harris has played for the Mavericks, [[Philadelphia 76ers]], [[New Jersey Nets]], and [[Cleveland Cavaliers]] in 12 NBA seasons. He played in the [[2002 NBA Finals|2002]] and [[2003 NBA Finals]] as a member of the Nets.

Harris has played in 800 games and has scored a total of 5,784 points in his NBA career. He was selected as [[Eastern Conference (NBA)|Eastern Conference]] Player of the Week for the week of December 23–29, 2003. He played seven seasons for the New Jersey Nets before being released during the off-season of 2004 due to the team's salary-cap problems. He went on to play for the [[Cleveland Cavaliers]] during the [[2004–05 NBA season|2004–05 season]]; however, Harris shot 40% from the field and 32% from the 3-point zone while averaging a career-low 4.3 points per game. Following that season, he was released by the Cavaliers in an attempt to get under the salary cap.

On February 3, 2007, Harris's #30 jersey was retired by Long Beach State during halftime of the 49ers' game against the [[University of the Pacific (United States)|University of the Pacific]].  Harris was the school's all-time leading scorer, scoring 2,312 points throughout his career.  In addition, Harris was the school's single-season leading scorer, scoring 739 points in the 1992–1993 season. Lucious was also known for his defense.
