George Gregory Glamack (born Gjuro Gregorvitch Glamoclij,[1] June 7, 1919 – March 10, 1987) was an American professional basketball player.

[3] One writer noted that "Glamack, who is ambidextrous when on the court, is also so nearsighted that the ball is merely a dim object, but apparently he never looked where he was shooting, depending upon his sense of distance and direction.

He is one of eight players to have his jersey number retired by UNC, the others being Jack Cobb, Lennie Rosenbluth, Phil Ford, James Worthy, Michael Jordan, Antawn Jamison, and Tyler Hansbrough.

But facing financial struggles, the Jets cut Glamack after only eight games, on November 25, 1948, after acquiring the less expensive John Mahnken from the Baltimore Bullets.

"[14] The Jets declared bankruptcy and folded shortly before the 1949 merger of the BAA and NBL that created the modern National Basketball Association.

)[15] In 1950, after retiring from basketball and working as a refrigeration equipment salesman, he ran as a Republican candidate for sheriff of Marion County, Indiana, losing in the primary.

[16][17] But he was already working to return to the sport — this time as an owner in the National Professional Basketball League, a new circuit created for teams that had been contracted out of the new NBA.

[18] Along with serving as president and general manager of the Grand Rapids Hornets, Glamack played for the team, alongside player/coach Bobby McDermott, fellow Tar Heel Fritz Nagy, the seven-footer Elmore Morgenthaler, 5'9" Ralph "Buckshot" O'Brien, Easy Parham, and two-time college All-American Blackie Towery.
