GRAND RAPIDS - Elijah Brown has better basketball stories than anyone on the Grand Rapids Drive and most aren't even about playing.
Brown, who played last season at the University of Oregon and was the Drive's third-round pick in this year's NBA G League draft, is the son of Mike Brown, the former head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers and the NBA coach of the year in 2009.
So, that meant Brown grew up working out with Kobe and chasing rebounds for LeBron and having the kind of childhood every basketball-playing kid would envy.
