Brown shares (with Joe Smith, Tony Massenburg and Jim Jackson) the NBA record for the most teams played during his NBA career of 12 teams in 13 years: Cleveland 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.

Brown retired with 4,125 career points. Brown’s playing career includes an NBA Championship, a CBA Championship and ACC Championship. He also has eight years of coaching experience in the NBA G-League and seven years as an NBA scout.

Brown was hired as the head boys basketball coach at West Johnston High School on April 2, 2019 and he is the current head coach of Saint Augustine University's men's basketball team. He is also the first member of his family to graduate from college.
