One of only four players in school history to score over 2,000 career points, (2,043), Dionte Christmas (2005-09) is still the only player to lead the Atlantic 10 Conference in scoring for three straight seasons. He is also one of only three Owls to lead his team in scoring for three seasons, joining fellow Hall of Famers Mark Macon and Jim Williams. A prolific shooter, he is Temple's all-time three-point field goal leader (319) and is the only Temple player to make 100 threes in a season, doing it twice (107, 2008-09; 104, 2007-08). The prolific scorer also earned First Team all-conference honors and Atlantic 10 Championship MVP in 2008 and 2009. He also was named First Team all-Philadelphia Big 5 three times (2007, 2008, 2009). Following his Temple career, he played professionally for nine seasons, including the 2013-14 season with the Phoenix Suns of the NBA.
