Kimberly Belton (born April 2, 1958) is an American sports producer and former basketball player. He starred while playing collegiately for the Stanford Cardinal, where he led the team in scoring for two seasons and was a three-time All-Pac-12 selection.[1][2] Belton set program scoring records in total points and rebounds.[3] He was inducted to the Stanford Athletics Hall of Fame in 1999 and the Pac-12 Conference Hall of Honor in 2016.[2]

Belton was selected by the Phoenix Suns as the 42nd overall pick in the 1980 NBA draft and played preseason, but a knee complication ended his NBA chance.[4] He began his broadcasting career in 1981 as a production assistant with ABC Sports, where he would become an associate director two years later.[4] In 1985, Belton joined Turner Sports and worked as the coordinating producer for National Basketball Association (NBA) games. By 2003, Belton was working as a freelancer and producing college football and college basketball games for ESPN and ABC.[2][4]
