Former New York Knicks head coach Hubie Brown has been honored alongside Bryant Gumbel, Chris Mortensen, and more.
The 91-year-old is part of the 10-member Class of 2024 set to be inducted into the Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame later this December. Brown is set to embark on another season of broadcasting with ESPN's NBA coverage.
In addition to his time at the Knicks' helm, Brown has also led the Kentucky Colonels, Atlanta Hawks, and Memphis Grizzlies into battle and he won an ABA title with Kentucky in 1975. Brown guided the Knicks to playoff series victories in his first two seasons but major injuries to Patrick Ewing and Bernard King stifled further progress.

Brown made it clear that his five-decade journey was not accomplished alone in an interview with“You’re doing this with other people, who are not getting the attention that they deserve for their contributions as you reach a high," Brown said. "In Kentucky, we turned around the youngest team in the NBA at the time in Atlanta.
