Mykal Reginald Riley (born July 14, 1985) is an American professional basketball player, who lastly played for Bursaspor of the Turkish Super League.[1] Standing at 1.98 m (6'6"), he plays the small forward position.

He is best known for his last-second three-point shot against Mississippi State in the 2008 SEC men's basketball tournament (he was named to the All-Tournament Team): the shot extended the game into overtime, possibly preventing thousands of fans from walking out of the Georgia Dome at the time a tornado struck the area.[2]
