Myron Brown is one heck of a unique individual. He's very outspoken, very polite around your parents...actually polite around anybody. But when you sit next to him at a basketball game he's capable of yelling out a few four letter bombs. I know, I sit next to him and have befriended this journeyman American basketball player who played for my pro team in Uberlandia, Brazil...until he tore his Achilles tendon. First major injury of his career, but hey, he went injury free until 36. That's a nice career.

Brown currently resides in Kennedy Township, PA with his wife Ebony and two children Jenai/Julian.
