Chucky Brown's Epic Journey: From NC State to 13 Years and 12 NBA Teams!
Chucky Brown was born and raised in New York City before moving to Southeastern North Carolina his sophomore year in high school. He was a standout at North Brunswick High School in Leland, NC and was named the 1985 North Carolina Mr. Basketball along with All-State and All-America. Although he grew up a North Carolina Tar Heel fan, Brown chose NC State and coach Jim Valvano. He played for the Wolfpack from 1985-89 and helped lead the Pack to Elite 8 and Sweet 16 appearances while being named All-ACC in 1989. Cleveland drafted Brown in the 2nd round in 1989 starting his NBA journey that would last 13 years playing for 12 teams which was a record at the time. 1995 would prove to be a banner year for Brown as he won a Continental Basketball Association title with the Yakima Sun Kings before he helped the Houton Rockets win an NBA title. After his career ended, Brown turned to coaching and scouting while he also finished his degree at NC State. Brown was recently inducted into the Greater Wilmington Sports Hall of Fame and shares what that honor means to him. He also remembers the players he played with, and against, in college and the NBA and tells us why coach Lenny Wilkins had a great impact on him. He also takes us back to the secret pick-up games his college teammates played against players from North Carolina, Duke and North Carolina Central in the 1980s; and he tells us which teammate ended those games. Brown also tells us what he has in common with fellow NC State standout Julius Hodge, our guest in Ep. 98 of In The Front Row: ua-cam.com/video/hk8E8QmaLqQ/v-deo.html. Plus, Brown considers what's ahead for him and why his daughters might be providing a great example.

Still the most handsome man ever born! Screamed your name in Tigers stadium and joker Marchant 😊love you forever 💖 uscla😊
Chucky Brown...I had the pleasure of meetin him,1 cool guy!!
I used to stand behind home plate screaming "Parrish " he would probably be scared if he ever heard my voice again lol😂 just such a winner in so many ways 😊
He's still sweet and handsome 😊❤😊 He's been my fantasy boy friend since the early 80s😊❤
buba cah aw😊
That's a great character story to tell. Thanks for sharing this. Respect!
Nice interview! Boubacar was such a scrapper at G-Town!🙏🏿🙏🏿
Remember Joe vs Hakeem Arkansas vs Houston back in the old South West Conference days.
Great guy
Love you Mugsy!! From Chi town sir!!
The league and fans never gave him his due .
I don't remember the year but when was playing with the Cubs he hit an inside the park homerun in Wrigley Field. One of my favorite baseball memories was watching him chug around the bases.
Legend
Honorable man, great fighter
Okoye is a very gracious man. The Nigerian Nightmare.
Bill Curry-the greatest storyteller of football from ages past. I give him top dog, not because he has Packers stories or Lombardi stories, but because he has Mike Curtis stories.
All-time fav NFL personality. He is a fascinating mind and a modern mind.
He died for a lie.

I love this guy. I watched him sparring in the Thomas A'Beckett gym when he came over to the UK to fight Frank Bruno in 1984, and I believe that what he did when he stopped Bruno in the 10th round, he could have done in the 1st if he had believed in his fitness. I was a heavyweight boxer myself, but when he poked me in the ribs to say hello, he felt so strong...

I will never forget that hit. I've never heard Christians comments on it, but he sounds like a cool guy. I was a Cowboys fan but I always enjoyed watching you crush that line Christian. You were truly a one of a kind.. Of course in the NFC it was always Riggins that killed us. lol. Compliments on a very good career.
