Brian Brown (born February 14, 1979 in Brooklyn , New York ) is a former American basketball player who has played for several clubs in the German basketball league and became Swiss champion with the Lugano Tigers in 2010 .

Career

Brown played during his studies in the USA for the Buckeyes of Ohio State University and in 2002 he moved to the basketball league in Germany, where he went hunting for a season for Telekom Baskets Bonn. His two-year contract was terminated after one season and he returned to the USA to play in the NBA Development League for the Fayetteville Patriots . In the 2004/05 season he joined the TBB Trier team, where he immediately became a leading player and top scorer. In his second year in Trier , he was elected Most Valuable Player of the BBL All-Star Games in 2006.

In the 2006/07 season he played in the French LNB Pro A at Hyères-Toulon Var Basket . After a season he returned to Germany and signed a two-year contract with the Eisbären from Bremerhaven . This contract was also canceled after a year and he played for the new 2008/09 season in Poland .

In December 2008 he was taken back under contract by the TBB in Trier and he returned to the BBL. The fixed-term contract was extended beyond the end of the season, but in January 2010 Brown asked for the contract to be terminated, which was granted to him due to a controversial pay cut.

In January 2010 he signed a contract for the remainder of the season with the Tigers in Swiss Lugano , with whom he formerly Trier coach Joe Whelton won the championship.
