He had a notable career playing for the De La Salle Green Archers during many different tournaments in 1982.
He would simultaneously enroll and take classes there for the remainder of the year before declaring his intention to enter the PBA.
A year after his notable college career in DLSU, Brown moved on to play professional basketball in the PBA in 1983.
It was here where he became famous in the professional stage as the first-ever Filipino-American to play as a 'local' in the league.
He was the 1983 Rookie of the Year and 1985 MVP.
