Chucky Brown

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Clarence "Chucky" Brown (born February 29, 1968 in New York City) is an American former professional basketball player.

A 6'7" forward from North Carolina State, Brown was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round of the 1989 NBA Draft. Brown holds (now shared with Tony Massenburg and Jim Jackson) the NBA record for the most teams played for during his 13-year (1989-2002) professional career — twelve: the Cavaliers, Los Angeles Lakers, New Jersey Nets, Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets (where he became champion in 1994-95), Phoenix Suns, Milwaukee Bucks, Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets, San Antonio Spurs, Golden State Warriors, and Sacramento Kings. He retired with 4,125 career points, and he has recently served as a coach in the NBDL for the Roanoke Dazzle.

In addition to the NBA teams, Brown had stints in the Continental Basketball Association and Italy's Panna Firenze. He played three games for Panna Firenze in 1992. The CBA saw Brown play for the Grand Rapids Hoops in 1993 and Yakima Sun Kings in 1994 and 1995. He became the second player to earn both an NBA ring and CBA ring in the same season.

Brown is now an assistant coach for the Los Angeles D-Fenders of the NBA Development League.^[1]
