Raymond Townsend

Raymond Anthony Townsend (born December 20 1955 in San Jose, California) is a retired American basketball player.

A 6'3", 175-lb point guard, Townsend played college basketball at the UCLA and was selected with the last pick in the first round (22nd overall) of the 1978 NBA Draft by the Golden State Warriors. He concluded his NBA career in 1982 as a member of the Indiana Pacers.

Townsend's mother, the former Virginia Marella, is a Filipina from Balayan, Batangas while his father, Ray Sr., is American.

A 1976 Sports Illustrated issue featured Townsend's father, Ray Sr., in its "Faces in the Crowd" section. He was recognized as "the oldest junior college basketball player in history." At age 39, he was the second man off the bench. [ [http://www2.kusports.com/news/2006/jun/18/fathers_examples_still_guide_kansas_coaches KUSports.com: Fathers’ examples still guide Kansas coaches] ]
