Terrance L. Acox (born 1969) is an American former professional basketball player.
In September 1992, Acox signed with Körfuknattleiksfélag ÍA in the Icelandic 1. deild karla[1] where he became an instant fan favorite due to his 50-inch vertical leap[2] and high flying dunks.[3][4][5] On 29 November 1992, he broke the backboard with a dunk during a game against UMFB in Bolungarvík with 11 minutes remaining. With no replacement backboard, the head referee of the game, Leifur Garðarsson, decided to continue the game using the side baskets and forbade both teams to dunk for the rest of the game.[6] In February 1993, Acox was selected to the Icelandic All-Star game where he scored 26 points. He also participated in the dunk contest which he went on to win convincingly.[7] Despite his on-court dominance, ÍA released Acox in March 1993 prior to the seasons end.[8]
