Kwame Brown now has sports media personalities shaking their boots. Over the past few days, the former NBA forward has ripped into Matt Barnes, Stephen Jackson, Gilbert Arenas, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, Fox Sports’ Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless in a profanity-laced tirade.
Brown, the first overall pick in the 2001 NBA draft, has returned to the spotlight in recent days after taking offense to comments made by former athletes. His ranting now has Jemele Hill scared.
The former ESPN host took to Twitter and stated she is now looking at tapes to make sure she has never said anything about him.
“Kwame Brown got me checking the tape to make sure I ain’t ever said shit about him. If I did, I’m sorry. Please don’t talk about my momma.”
The Washington Wizards selected Brown straight out of Glynn Academy in Georgia. He never lived up to expectations, but had a solid career playing for the Los Angeles Lakers, Memphis Grizzlies, Detroit Pistons, Charlotte Bobcats, Golden State Warriors and Philadelphia 76ers during his 12-year NBA career.
He last played in the NBA in 2013, and he more recently appeared in the BIG3 three-on-three league.
