About
Carlos Fernando Terry (June 22, 1956 – March 12, 1989) was an American professional basketball shooting guard who spent three seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA) with the Washington Bullets from the 1980–81 season to 1982–83. Terry attended Winston-Salem State University where he was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers in the fifth round (104 pick overall) during the 1978 NBA Draft, but was waived before playing in a game. He then took his talents to the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) where he played for the popular Toyota team, which he led to a conference championship (1978 PBA Invitational Conference). Two years later he signed with the Bullets. After his playing career was abruptly done, Terry's life was never the same. Alcoholism and drugs took over; in fact, in January 1989, Terry was convicted of cocaine distribution. Just two months later, at the age of 32, he was killed in a high-speed car crash on the Capital Beltway in Prince George's County, Maryland. Police said that Terry had been drinking and was speeding.
