Alphonso Gene Ford (October 31, 1971 – September 4, 2004) was an American professional basketball player.
A 1.92 m (6 ft 3 ?3/4 in) tall, 98 kg (216 lbs.) shooting guard, he was one of the greatest scorers in college basketball history.
After a short stint in the NBA, he played professionally in Europe. Ford confirmed his tremendous scoring ability in the EuroLeague, and became a reference in the matter, notwithstanding his chronic health issues. He was the EuroLeague Top Scorer twice (2001, 2002), and earned an All-EuroLeague selection three times.
The competition's leading scorer award bears his name, in his honor.
