God Shammgod (born April 29, 1976), formerly known by the alias Shammgod Wells, is an American basketball coach and former professional player. He is currently a player development coach with the Dallas Mavericks. He played in the NBA with the Washington Wizards during 1997–98 after being drafted by them in the second round (46th overall pick) of the 1997 NBA draft.[1] He played in the Chinese Basketball Association for several teams, including the Zhejiang Cyclones[2] and Shanxi Yujun. He also played professionally in Poland and Saudi Arabia.[3] Despite a brief NBA career, he is well-remembered as the progenitor and namesake of a widely used crossover dribble, the "Shammgod",[4] although the move, known in Europe as "The Whip", was already used earlier by former Yugoslavian players Dragan Kićanović and Danko Cvjeticanin and later popularized by Dejan Bodiroga.[5]
