  Kwame Brown - Hoopedia
Kwame James Brown (born March 10, 1982 in Charleston, South Carolina) is a NBA power forward for the Memphis Grizzlies.
Brown finished his high school career at the historic Glynn Academy (located in Brunswick, Georgia) as the school's all-time leading rebounder (1,235) and shot-blocker (605), and also finished second all-time as a scorer and he was named to the 2001 McDonald's All American Team.
Brown was injured at the beginning of the season and Mihm was also out with injury for the whole season, so the starting job at center was given to the young Andrew Bynum.

Brown said he was playing against local college basketball players -- "I don't know what people are thinking -- that I'm playing in the road with 2-year-olds?" Brown said, shaking his head -- when he grabbed a rebound and landed on the ground.
