Emmette Bryant (born November 4, 1938) is an American former professional basketball player and the Vice President of the Chicago Chapter at NBA Alumni.

After his time in New York, he joined the Boston Celtics and instantly became a part of the most dominant dynasty in American professional basketball history.

Bryant spent the latter part of his career with the Buffalo Braves, who selected him in the 1970 expansion draft.

Altogether Bryant played eight seasons (1964–1972) in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the New York Knicks, Boston Celtics, and Buffalo Braves, scoring 3,722 points in his career.

All along the way, Bryant would say, “I’m just a teacher that happened to play pro ball.” Bryant then went to work for the State of Washington for the next 30 years, starting out with the Department of Social and Health Services, in charge of recreation throughout the state for that department's correctional institutions.
