Brown, standing on the stage of the cafetorium, admitted something he had never openly discussed. He talked about something deeply painful and, when you’re young, potentially embarrassing. The kind of thing a kid isn’t responsible for, but nonetheless can find emotionally damaging.
“My parents were incarcerated for awhile when I was a kid,” said Brown, who also talked about the bad judgment that resulted in being charged with driving under the influence of alcohol this offseason.
