Troy Hudson (born March 13 1976 in Carbondale, Illinois) is an American professional basketball player.

Basketball career

After a college career at the University of Missouri and Southern Illinois University, Hudson was not selected in the NBA draft. Since earning a hard-fought spot on the Utah Jazz in 1998, he later played for the Los Angeles Clippers and the Orlando Magic. However, his most productive seasons have come in Minnesota, where he averaged a career-best 14.2 pts and 5.7 assist per game in 2002-03 and would be known as the "Laker Killer" for his outstanding postseason play against the Los Angeles Lakers. Since landing a nice contract extension in 2003, Hudson has been plagued by nagging injuries that have hurt his production in recent years. He has averaged 9.2 points per game throughout his career. His contract with the Timberwolves was bought out on August 3, 2007.

Originally signed to the Golden State Warriors on September 24, 2007, he appeared in nine games in the 2007-08 season.cite web |url=http://www.nba.com/warriors/news/Warriors_Sign_Chris_Webber.html |title=Warriors Sign Free Agent Chris Webber |date=January 29, 2008 |work=NBA.com] Following hip surgery on January 10, 2008, Hudson was waived by the Warriors on January 29 to make room for Chris Webber.

Music career

Hudson has released one major album "Undrafted", and has recorded around 800 songs. A drum machine usually accompanies him on road trips. "I have my own label — Nutty Boyz Entertainment — and I have three artists (that I manage)," the former Warriors' hip-hop guard has said in an interview.
