Larry Brown was a 5-9 point guard who went to The University of North Carolina after playing his high school basketball in New York. A stellar player for the Tar Heels in the early 60's, Brown was considered too small to play in the NBA so he went to the NABL Akron Wingfoots, where he played for two years (1964-65). During that time Brown was selected to the 1964 US Olympic team while leading the Wingfoots to the 1964 AAU National Championship. After a brief stint as an assistant coach at North Carolina, Brown joined the upstart American Basketball Association, playing with the New Orleans Buccanneers (1967-68), Oakland Oaks (1968-69), Washington Caps (1969-70), Virginia Squires (1970-71) and Denver Nuggets (1971-72).
