Basketball career
At Flint Hill in Oakton, Virginia, Scott worked for Coach Stu Vetter. As ranked by USA Today, Flint Hill Prep ranked first in the country Scott's senior year (1987) in the nation Scott's senior year (1987). His squad finished second in the nation by USA Today and first by the Blue Ribbon yearbook in his junior year at Flint Hill Prep. Scott played every position at one time or another during his high school career, due to his height, power, shooting skills, and quickness.
Scott had a stellar college career for the Yellow Jackets, winning them the NCAA Tournament each year he participated. He led the Yellow Jackets to victory in the ACC Tournament Championship during his junior season (1989-90). He was named ACC Player of the Year. He also led the team to the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament last season, losing to eventual champion UNLV. He made the NBA Draft after his junior season, foregoing his senior year. Scott was named in 2002 as part of the ACC's 50th Anniversary men's basketball team, honoring the top players in the game in history.
Scott spent the majority of his time with the Magic, earning the nickname 3-D for his ability to make long-point field goal attempts consistently. Scott and Nick Anderson were the top scorers for the Magic until Shaquille O'Neal's drafting in 1992. Scott's record in 1995-96 was 267 (which was defeated by Ray Allen ten years later). With 11 players on April 18, 1996, he tied for the most three-pointers made in a single game. Brian Shaw, a former teammate and the record holder, helped him on his record-breaking shot on April 8, 1993 (he made ten three-pointers). Since making 14 baskets from behind the arc against the Chicago Bulls on October 29, 2018, this record has been broken by Kobe Bryant, who made 12 three-pointers on January 7, 2003, and Stephen Curry, who made 12 three-pointers on March 12, 2005; Curry's teammate Klay Thompson now holds the record after making 12 three-pointers on February 27, 2016.
Scott was embroiled in a scandal after an incident in which he ranted and played explicit rap music in front of a crowd of bewildered children in 1997.
On March 26, 2006, the Magic remembers past stars for their performances. Nick Anderson and Scott Skiles were among the other notables to be honoured so far. Jay Bilas ranked his personal shooters in NCAA history in 2008, and Scott was No. 1 on his list.
Scott spent short stints with other clubs throughout his seven-year career with Orlando. Derek Harper and Ed O'Bannon were traded to the Dallas Mavericks for September 24, 1997. Scott had been traded to the Mavericks after a tumultuous off-season where Scott, who was unhappy about playing for the Magic as well as the Magic company, had a meltdown at a Summer camp event where he was a guest at the Magic organization, blaming music with explicit lyrics and throwing thinly-veiled insults at the Magic organization. The Mavericks traded Scott to the Phoenix Suns for Cedric Ceballos midway through the 1998-98 season. He also played for the New York Knicks, Minnesota Timberwolves (1998–99), and the Vancouver Grizzlies (1999–2000). After being cut by the Washington Wizards in preparation camp, Scott did not play in the 2000-01 NBA season. In 2001, he attempted an NBA comeback with the Los Angeles Lakers (with ex-Orlando teammates Shaquille O'Neal and Brian Shaw), but the Lakers decided to move with another player and cut Scott after training camp due to a lack of veteran talent.
