Gregory Fuller “Greg” Kite (born on August 5 1959) was an American retired professional basketball player. Kite was part of the two NBA Championship teams with the Boston Celtics in 1984 and 1986. Kite played in eleven NBA seasons.

Kite played in 680 games over 11 NBA seasons, and started at 225 games. Kite averaged 2.5 pointsand 2.3 fouled out and 3.8 rebounding in just 14 minutes per game. Kite was a player with his team the Boston Celtics (1983-1988), Los Angeles Clippers (1988-1989), Charlotte Hornets (1989), Sacramento Kings (1989-1990), Orlando Magic (1990-1994), New York Knicks (1995) and the Indiana Pacers (1995).

As a Celtic, he won two championship rings in 1984 and 1986, serving as a reserve center behind Hall of Famers Robert Parish, Larry Bird, and Kevin McHale.

On June 7, 1987 in game three of the 1987 NBA Finals, with Robert Parish in foul trouble and Bill Walton ailing, Kite was called upon by Coach KC Jones to match up against Kareem Abdul Jabbar for 22 minutes. He responded with defense that tired Jabbar, and blocked a shot by Magic Johnson.

Kite was selected 21st overall by the Boston Celtics in the 1983 NBA draft. Said Kite about the draft: “That summer the Celtics traded Rick Robey to the Phoenix Suns for Dennis Johnson and a first round pick. What that did was open up a spot for a backup center. Red Auerbach really wanted to pick Roy Hinson from Rutgers. Hinson was a heck of a player who ended up having some knee problems later on, and Roy had really long arms like Kevin McHale. He could reach four or five inches higher than I could, even though he was only 6′-9”. So Red really wanted him and hoped he would last until the Celtics could pick, but Roy was selected by Cleveland. I was the alternative.”

You didn’t see anyone sticking around after practice there.”
