Joshua Ian "Josh" Shipp (born February 14, 1986) is an American professional basketball player who last played for Brose Baskets of the Basketball Bundesliga. Shipp played college basketball at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He has played professionally in Turkey and Germany.
Under coach Harvey Kitani, Shipp led the Fairfax Lions to the California Division I state title. As a junior, he helped lead his team to the City finals and received All-State underclassman and All-City second-team honors.
As a freshman with the UCLA Bruins, he started 23 games and named Honorable Mention All-Pac-10 Freshman. He averaged 9.3 points and 5.2 rebounds.
Shipp underwent surgery on his right hip on September 28, 2005, and missed the first 11 games. After playing four games, he missed the rest of the season with continual pain in his right hip.
In his third season, he started and played in 35 of the 36 games. In the Final Four loss to Florida, Shipp led the Bruins scoring (18 points), assists (5), and steals(4).
In his senior year with the Bruins, Shipp was the only player to start in all 39 games, playing in 1,269 minutes (32.5 mpg, 3rd all-time on UCLA's single-season list). Shipp was named the Bruins' co-Most Valuable Player (MVP) along with Darren Collison. He ended his career at UCLA No. 32 on the career list with 1,254 points. Shipp and fellow senior teammates Collison and Alfred Aboya finished their careers as the winningest class in UCLA history with 123 wins. The distinction was relative, as John Wooden's legendary teams played shorter seasons and freshmen were ineligible.
Shipp was not selected in the 2009 NBA Draft, and was picked to play on the Chicago Bulls summer league team.
