College career

edit

Graduating from Chicago's Paul Robeson High School in 1998, Pargo played collegiately for the University of Arkansas after transferring from Neosho County Community College in Chanute, Kansas in 2000.[1] Jennero was known at Arkansas for casually dribbling across the half court line and burying a deep 3-pointer. He produced several 30 point games during his tenure and was ahead of his time by firing up 3-pointers from anywhere on the floor, and hitting them, which has become commonplace in the NBA.

Professional career

edit

Early years

edit

From 2002 to 2008, Pargo played in the NBA for the Los Angeles Lakers, Toronto Raptors, Chicago Bulls and New Orleans Hornets. During the 2008 playoffs with the Hornets, he garnered attention by coming off the bench for star Chris Paul. He averaged 10.3 points in 12 playoff games and hit big three-point shots in game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Spurs.
