Mike Brown's basketball career is legendary; he spent over a decade in the NBA and 14 years playing professionally. But he's much more than just a former pro athlete. Mike is a savvy businessman, world traveler, and fluent Italian speaker who has built a fascinating life beyond the game.

He's married to Esther, who hails from Spain and continues to compete in the Master’s Games, proving that his love for basketball never faded. He's also a passionate sports card collector and someone who seems to know a little about everything!
