Larry Brown, a 5-foot 9-inch guard, from Long Beach, New York, was a tough, feisty, never-say-die point guard for the University of North Carolina. He provided speed and leadership for all three of his varsity seasons.

While he was known as a great assist man, Larry could also score. He had an excellent outside jump shot, which he used to spread defenses and clear the lanes. Then he used his speed to drive to the basket.

The result was a lay-up or a dish-off assist, either one ending in a bucket for his team.

Larry was also one of the last of the great 2-hand set shot artists.

Larry took charge of a game. He had an unerring sense for finding the open man, and hitting him exactly in the right position to score the basket.

Larry took tough and feisty to a new plateau in a game against Duke with his old rival Art Heyman. Larry ignited a brawl that not only cleared the benches, but brought the fans onto the court in a melee of mayhem.

Drafted by the Baltimore Bullets, they nonetheless assumed he was too small to play in the NBA and never contacted him.

So Larry began his pro career as an amateur. He played AAU ball with the Akron Goodyears for two years, winning a league MVP award and earning a berth on the 1964 Olympic team.

He turned that opportunity into an Olympic Gold Medal.

Larry then joined the fledgling ABA, getting his opportunity to play pro ball.

In his first year he helped guide the New Orleans Buccaneers to the championship finals.

The next season Larry Brown got his championship.

Larry was a member of the Gold Medal winning USA team in the Maccabiah Games held in Israel in 1961.

A three-time All Star, he retired from the ABA as the All Time assist leader.

He is a member of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame, and the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame.
