Carl Danell "Charly" Brown (born April 30, 1968 in Detroit , Michigan ) is a former American basketball player and was one of the most popular players in the German basketball league during his playing days .

Career

With his height of 1.77 m for professional players , Brown had his strengths in throwing from the outside and in his speed.

Brown played in his home country at the college level from 1988 to 1990 for the team at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock . There he set highs for the most converted free throws (20 of 20 attempts), the most three-point hits (10) and most assists (18) in a game. In the 1988/89 season Brown came to mean values ​​of 15.3 points and 5.3 assists in the basket, in 1989/90 of 18.4 points and 4.2 assists per match. In 2003 he was accepted into the hall of fame of the university sports department. A few years after Brown, the slightly larger Derek Fisher also played for the Trojans, but he had a much more successful career with four NBA championships for the Los Angeles Lakers . In the CBA's 1990 draft , Brown was selected by the Rapid City Thrillers. He played ten games for the Thrillers and eight for the league rivals Quad City Thunder in the 1990/91 season. For both teams, he stayed well below the statistical values ​​that he had achieved in the NCAA .

In the 1993/94 season he moved to the BBL to replace the weakened TVG Trier in the basketball league and quickly became a public favorite and identification figure for his German club. With the club he won the cup in 1998 and 2001 . He was regularly called up as one of the best players in the BBL All-Star Game and was honored there in 2003 as the game's Most Valuable Player . The basketball specialist body described its importance for Trier's team in 2000 with the words: “Both as a source of ideas and as a scorer. With his urge for the basket and his accuracy as a long-range shooter, the Trier offensive performance stands and falls ”. However, the 2002/03 season was much more disappointing for his club. They finished last and only qualified for another season in the first division via a wild card from the BBL. Trier rebuilt the team and Brown left the club in the direction of Leverkusen. In the following two years in Leverkusen he was plagued by injuries and played less than half of the games. After a disappointing 2004/05 season for Leverkusen , he moved to Oldenburg and played there again as long in Trier under coach Don Beck . Brown reached the play-offs again with the Lower Saxony of his last BBL season . While at Trier he was on the floor for an average of more than 36 minutes until the last time in 2003, in his last season at Oldenburg it was less than half the playing time. Brown, whose best mark in a Bundesliga game was 41 points (scored against Leverkusen in 1999), played after his Bundesliga time from December 2006 until the end of the 2006/07 season in the regional league with the DJK / MJC Trier and scored 12.9 points per use . In the Bundesliga, Brown scored a total of 6,317 points, placing him fourth in the league's all-time basketball list when he retired.
