Kevin Porter (born April 17, 1950, in Chicago, Illinois) is a retired American professional basketball player.
A 6'0" point guard from Saint Francis University, Porter played 10 seasons (1972–1981; 1982–1983) in the National Basketball Association as a member of the Baltimore/Capital/Washington Bullets, the Detroit Pistons, and the New Jersey Nets. Porter was one of the most talented passers in league history, leading the league in both assists per game and total assists four times during his career (1975, 1978, 1979, and 1981). At one point, Porter held the record for most assists in a game, with 29. (Scott Skiles broke the record when he tallied 30 assists on December 30, 1990.)
Porter was also a key member of the 1975 Bullets team which reached the NBA Finals before losing to the Golden State Warriors. When he retired in 1983, he had accumulated 5,314 career assists and 7,645 career points.
Following his retirement from the NBA, Porter reinforced the Toyota Super Corollas in the Philippine Basketball Association and played for one conference.
