Hubie Brown: A legend says goodbye in Milwaukee!

On February 9, 2025, an era will end: legendary basketball commentator Hubie Brown, 91 years old, will commentate on his last game for ESPN. This special event takes place in Milwaukee, the city where Brown's professional coaching journey began. In a match between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Philadelphia 76ers, the man who defined NBA television for over two decades will wield his microphone and showcase his distinctive voice for the last time The Playoffs reported.

Hubie Brown began his basketball career not only as an outstanding coach, twice a recipient of the Coach of the Year Award, but also as a loud-voiced commentator, covering games on TNT and TBS before moving to ESPN in 2004. Brown will end his career with a big event that will be broadcast during the Super Bowl Sunday at 2 p.m. ET. ESPN plans to celebrate Brown's remarkable career during this broadcast, both as a coach and as a commentator, as detailed in the article by Sports Illustrated mentioned.

The TV landscape will change as Brown, considered ESPN's longest-serving NBA commentator, delivers his final words in the great halls of basketball. He will be accompanied by Mike Breen, another Hall of Fame commentator with whom he previously commented on the 2006 NBA Finals. Regardless of age, Brown's passion for basketball remains undiminished, and his contributions will leave a lasting impression. A truly worthy farewell for one of the greatest!
