Kennedy Lawrence Winston (born July 29, 1984) is an American-Macedonian[1] former professional basketball player.
Kennedy left college one year early to pursue his dreams of playing in the NBA.

He was the top scorer with the University of Alabama's Crimson Tide for two seasons and he led the SEC conference in scoring in 2005, averaging 17.9 points per game.
Winston declared for the 2005 NBA draft after his junior year, and was expected to go somewhere in the middle of the first round.

He drew the media's attention on February 17, 2008, after scoring 26 points with 7–8 3-pointers made against Panathinaikos' archrivals Olympiacos Piraeus.
