Stacey Orlando Augmon (born August 1, 1968 in Pasadena, California) is a professional basketball player in the NBA currently with the Orlando Magic. He gained the nickname "Plastic Man" early in his career for his long arms, defensive play and offensive fluidity.
After a college career at UNLV, he was drafted by the Atlanta Hawks with the ninth pick of the 1991 NBA Draft. Augmon has played for the Hawks, the Detroit Pistons, the Portland Trail Blazers and the Charlotte/New Orleans Hornets, as well as the Orlando Magic, averaging 8.2 points per game throughout his career.
On March 23, 1992, Augmon scored the 6,000,000th point in NBA history with a layup in the second quarter of a game against the Golden State Warriors.
The Magic have decided not to re-sign Augmon for the 2006-07 NBA season, making him an unrestricted free agent.
