James Ennis was a transformative player for the Men’s Basketball program. Joining the “Fab Four” as a junior college transfer, Ennis helped elevate an excellent team to new heights as one of the most successful groups in the modern era. In 2011-12, Long Beach State went 25-9 overall, including two Top 25 wins, and advanced to the NCAA Tournament after winning both the Big West regular season and conference tournament. Returning the next season, Ennis was the undisputed leader on another Big West Championship team in 2012-13, earning Big West Player of the Year before being drafted by the Miami Heat. He went on to an excellent NBA career, ultimately playing 395 games, the fifth-most by any Long Beach State alum in the NBA.
