Devin Brown​

Devin Brown was outstanding at the University of Texas at San Antonio before becoming an NBA champion in the same city. ​

Even before attending UTSA, Brown was a staple in the San Antonio basketball scene. At West Campus High School, he became the all-time leader in scoring in greater San Antonio basketball history. After graduating, he stayed home to play for the Roadrunners. Brown made an immediate impact, being named Southland Conference Rookie of the Year in 1999. He also earned second team All-Southland honors that year. Over the next three years, he never missed a first team All-Southland bid. In 2001, he became the first player in school history to record a triple double. A prolific scorer, Brown graduated as the all-time leading scorer in UTSA history, and still stands as third on that list. After graduating, he became the first player in school history to have his number, 23, retired. Brown was inducted into UTSA’s inaugural Athletics Hall of Fame class in 2023.​

Brown went undrafted in the NBA, but was drafted by the CBA, the USBL, and second overall by the D-League. He chose to begin his professional career in the USBL with the Kansas Cagerz, where he was named Rookie of the Year. He also spent time with the Fayetteville Patriots in the D-League his rookie year, winning the league’s Most Valuable Player and Rookie of the Year awards. This performance earned him time with the Denver Nuggets before signing with the San Antonio Spurs in 2003. In his second year with the team, Brown played a key role in winning the franchise their third NBA championship in 2005. After that season, he signed with the Utah Jazz as a free agent. Brown spent time with the Golden State Warriors, New Orleans Hornets, Cleveland Cavaliers, Chicago Bulls and Asseco Prokom before retiring from the game in 2011.​
