Brown was selected by the
Sacramento Kings in the second round of the
1991 NBA draft. He played four seasons in Sacramento, scoring 1,349 points, but he would become best known for his tenure with the
Chicago Bulls. Brown signed with the Bulls in 1995, and he provided valuable energy and aggressiveness off the bench during the Bulls' second "
three-peat" (1996–1998). A fan favorite, Brown was also one of the few veteran players who stayed with the Bulls after the
1998–99 lockout. With the departure of
Michael Jordan,
Scottie Pippen, and
Dennis Rodman, he became a full-time starter and averaged 8.8 points, 3.8 assists, and 3.4 rebounds (all career-highs) during the remainder of the
1998–99 season. After two more seasons in Chicago, Brown played briefly for the
Boston Celtics and the
Phoenix Suns, and he retired from the
NBA in 2003 with 3,148 career points and 1,420 career assists. ==Coaching career==
