Tayshaun Durell Prince (born February 28, 1980) is an American professional basketball executive and former player for the National Basketball Association (NBA). The 6-foot-9-inch (2.06 m) small forward graduated from Dominguez High School before playing college basketball for the University of Kentucky. He was drafted 23rd overall by the Detroit Pistons in the 2002 NBA draft and went on to win a championship with the team in 2004.
Prince is most remembered for his performance with the Pistons in the 2004 NBA playoffs. During Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Indiana Pacers, with the Pistons leading 69–67, Prince prevented the game from potentially going to overtime by preventing a go-ahead transition layup by Reggie Miller, blocking the shot in a play known as "The Block".
In 2013, Prince was traded from the Pistons to the Memphis Grizzlies. In 2015, Prince was traded to the Boston Celtics before being traded back to the Pistons. Prince later became a free agent and played one season for the Minnesota Timberwolves before retiring in 2016.
Following his retirement, Prince ventured into executive leadership in the NBA. He currently serves as the Vice President of Basketball Affairs for the Grizzlies.
