William Price Knight (January 20, 1979 – July 8, 2018) was an American professional basketball player.

As a sophomore, he was a reserve at center when Knight's father decided that his son's chances for an athletic scholarship to college rested on his jump-shooting skills.

Knight was already tall, so his father set up dummies in their backyard court that he would be forced to shoot over.

[2] As a senior, he had developed into one of the top jump shooters nationally and committed to play college basketball for the UCLA Bruins.

[6][7] He died by suicide through multiple blunt force injuries on July 8 after jumping from a building in Phoenix, Arizona,[8][9] shortly after posting a video to YouTube talking about his mental illness and encouraging others to seek help.
