Khalif Wyatt is one of the most popular and richest Basketball Player who was born on June 10, 1991 in Norristown, Norristown, United States. Khalif Wyatt (born June 10, 1991) is an American professional basketball player for Champagne Châlons-Reims in the Pro A. He was the Atlantic 10 Conference Player of the Year as a college basketball senior in the 2012–13 season, after leading the Owls to the Round of 32 in the 2013 NCAA Tournament. Wyatt led Temple in scoring in his final college season, with a 20.5 points per game average.
On October 28, 2013, Wyatt signed with the Chinese team Guangdong Southern Tigers. In January 2014, he left China.
In his final season, Temple finished in a three-way tie for third place in the A-10. Wyatt led the team in scoring with 20.5 points per game; he also averaged 2.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.7 steals. Despite losing in the first round of the A-10 Tournament, the Owls had finished the regular season with a 23–8 overall record and were invited to participate in the 2013 NCAA Tournament via an at-large bid. The 9th-seeded Owls then defeated 8th-seeded NC State behind Wyatt’s 31 points to advance to the Round of 32. In their next match-up, they took on #1-seed Indiana who had national player of the year candidate Cody Zeller in their line-up. Temple battled them toe-to-toe, and Wyatt was so effective against them that Indiana coach Tom Crean employed a special defensive tactic, called a full-court face-guard, against him (whereby an opposing player’s primary responsibility for that game is to follow that player around all over the court to prevent him from even catching the ball). The Owls were just several possessions away including one big-time three-point shot by Victor Oladipo away from upsetting one of the best teams in the country. Wyatt still managed to score 31 points in the loss. Tom Crean said in his post-game conference that Wyatt was the best player that Indiana had played all season and that Temple was the toughest team they had also faced. Khalif Wyatt was named an A-10 First Team All-Conference selection as well as the A-10 Player of the Year, becoming Temple’s 10th overall recipient of that award. On April 15, 2013, Wyatt was named the Philadelphia Big 5 Player of the Year, awarded annually to the player who performs the best throughout Philadelphia “Big 5” inner-city games among the five member schools that season.
On July 17, 2014, Wyatt signed a two-year deal with the Israeli team Hapoel Eilat. In his first season with Eilat, he averaged 14.2 points, 3.8 assists and 2.2 rebounds per game. Wyatt led Eilat to the 2015 Israeli League Finals, where they eventually lost to Hapoel Jerusalem. On June 19, 2015, Wyatt earned a spot in the All-Israeli League First Team.
He and head coach Fran Dunphy did not see eye-to-eye and frequently got into arguments early throughout Wyatt’s career. Dunphy said that Wyatt “was killing [him] with high maintenance” and how “In the beginning, he had his way of doing things and I had mine.” Wyatt would be late to meetings, doctors’ appointments and practices, his defense was considered at times lazy and undisciplined, and he would make “head-scratching” plays more frequently than a coach would like. As Wyatt’s tenure with Temple lengthened, he and Dunphy’s relationship grew, and by the time he was a senior in 2012–13 there was great mutual respect for one another. In March 2013, after Wyatt’s career had concluded, he said, “Coming in here as a 17-year-old, you think you know everything. You think you have the answers to everything. Coach Dunphy helped me grow up a lot. He really was like a father to me for four years. He pretty much raised me from 17 to 22. I’m happy I had him in my life. Through everything, he’s stuck with me. He had my best interests at heart.”
