George Lehmann

George A. Lehmann (May 1, 1941 – November 8, 2024) was an American professional basketball player. Lehmann played only one year of high school basketball, as a freshman. He played at Campbell Junior College (now Campbell University) during the 1959–60 season, finishing third in the nation in scoring among junior college players, then transferred to Wake Forest University, where he played on the freshman team during the 1960–61 season. In April 1961, Wake Forest expelled Lehmann for an honor code violation.

Lehmann began his professional career in the Eastern Professional Basketball League (EPBL) with the Sunbury Mercuries during the 1962–63 season. The St. Louis Hawks invited him to training camp in 1963, but he declined to move because his family lived in Camden, New Jersey. The Allentown Jets purchased him five games into the 1963–64 season. He was traded to the Trenton Colonials in 1964 and spent the following three seasons with the team, earning selection to the All-EPBL Second Team in 1967.

Lehmann played in the NBA and ABA from 1967 to 1974 as a member of the St. Louis/Atlanta Hawks, Los Angeles Stars, New York Nets, Miami Floridians, and Carolina Cougars.
