WASHINGTON - Rounding out a stellar first class of George Washington men's basketball jersey honorees, Mike Brown will have his #40 jersey displayed in the Smith Center rafters at halftime of the February 27 game vs. Dayton.

An Honorable Mention All-American in 1984, Brown was named First Team or Second Team All-Atlantic 10 all four seasons at GW. Nicknamed the "New Washington Monument" for his imposing 6'10" frame, Brown was the Atlantic 10 Conference Rookie of the Year in 1982 and participated in the 1984 U.S. Olympic team men's basketball trials at Indiana University where he was one of 32 finalists. 

Recognized as an A-10 Legend during the 2015 conference championship records, he finished his decorated collegiate career as one of just three GW players with 1,000-plus points and rebounds in his career (Joe Holup, Gene Guarilia). Still ranking second all-time at GW in career rebounds (third in A-10) and fourth all-time at GW in career points, he later played 11 seasons in the NBA as a member of the Chicago Bulls, Utah Jazz, Minnesota Timberwolves, Philadelphia 76ers and Phoenix Suns, after being drafted in the third round by the Bulls in 1985.

Tickets are available for the matchup with Dayton through the GW box office.
