Alexander Cory "Alex" Harris (born January 30, 1986 in Mission Viejo , California ) is an American basketball player . After studying in his home country, Harris played as a professional for two years in the Polish Tauron League before moving to Germany and playing in the basketball league with EnBW Ludwigsburg , Eisbären Bremerhaven and Walter Tigers Tübingen from 2010 to 2014 .

Career

After high school, where he won the state championships with the St. Joseph Notre Dame basketball team, Harris stayed in California and in 2004 went to study at the University of California, Santa Barbara , whose college team gauchos in the Big West Conference of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) plays. While the women's team is the record winner of the Big West Conference, the men's team could not win a conference title during Harris' active time and also missed qualification for the tournament of the NCAA Division I Basketball Championship . At the end of his four-year college career, Harris was the most successful scorer in the history of this college team with 1,696 points.

In 2008 Harris began a professional career that first led him to Poland in the top division PLK. With PGE Turów from Zgorzelec , he won the runner-up in 2009 for the third time in a row behind series champion Prokom Sopot . He then played for the league competitor Energa Czarni from Słupsk , who had lost the semi-final series of the championship play-off against Turów. However, Czarni reached only eighth place after the main round in 2010 and was eliminated in the first round of the play-offs against defending champion Asseco Prokom. For the basketball Bundesliga 2010/11 Harris was then signed by the German first division club from Ludwigsburg . At the end of the season, he again missed entry into the play-offs for the German championship, but only very narrowly because of the poorer direct comparison with the polar bears from Bremerhaven . After a disappointing basketball league in 2011/12 , in which Ludwigsburg barely managed to stay up, Harris switched to the Eisbären, who in turn had missed the play-offs.

After the 2012/13 season Harris signed a one-year contract with the Tigers Tübingen for the 2013/14 season. Further stations were 2014–2015 Trikala Basketball Club (Greece), 2015–2016 New Basket Brindisi (Italy), 2016 AEK Larnaca (Cyprus), 2017 Doxa Lefkadas (Greece) (Second Greek Basketball League) and Regatas Corrientes (Argentina) .
