Hubie Brown turned 90 years old last month. Yet, as he begins his 50th season doing work associated with the NBA, whether as a coach or a broadcaster, he is still sharp and fit enough to call games at the highest level.
Brown’s first assignment this season? Spurs-Knicks, for the Madison Square Garden debut of rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama, alongside top play-by-player Mike Breen on ESPN, on Wednesday, Nov. 8.
Dave Roberts, ESPN’s Head of NBA Event and Studio Production, told The Post: “An incredible 50 seasons in the NBA and still going strong. Hubie’s impact on the NBA, the game of basketball, and its fans can’t be understated. We’re looking forward to celebrating Hubie’s unparalleled legacy during this milestone season.”
