Kwame Brown’s Net Worth and Career
Brown had previously shown an interest in playing basketball for the University of Florida. However, he was later selected by the Washington Wizards in the 2001 NBA draft. While he had enough confidence in his game, he failed miserably to show his best game for the team. He didn’t perform well in the rookie season. In fact, Brown averaged just 4.5 points and 3.5 rebounds in each game.
Although Brown did not go all out, he was fortunate to be selected for the second season. In all, he appeared in 20 of the 80 games in which he showed some improvement in his game, and his performance continued to improve in his third season, posting 10.9 career points and 7.4 rebounds.
Kwame played his best game against the Sacramento Kings with 30 points and 19 rebounds. After his contract with the Washington Wizards expired, he entered the free-will market. He even turned down a massive 5-year, $30 million deal offered by the team. He was later traded to the Los Angeles Lakers on August 2, 2005.
Brown did not receive an overwhelming response from fans, as they considered him a flop. When he showed up for his first game with the Lakers on December 26, 2005, the fans booed him loudly. On February 1, 2008, he was traded to the new Memphis Grizzlies. However, the team showed some reluctance to sign him to a new contract on July 1, 2008, adding him to the roster as an unlimited free agent.
He then joined the Detroit Pistons on July 28, 2008 on a two-year contract. On August 23, 2010, he signed a one-year contract with the new Charlotte Bobcats. When the contract expired, he signed a one-year deal with the Golden State Warriors. In 2012 he joined the new Milwaukee Bucks team. However, he never played a single game for the team.
