Kwame James Brown (born March 10, 1982) is an American former professional basketball player. He was the first overall pick in the 2001 NBA draft by the Washington Wizards, and was the first number one draft pick to be selected straight out of high school. Over his career, he played for the Wizards, Los Angeles Lakers, Memphis Grizzlies, Detroit Pistons, Charlotte Bobcats, Golden State Warriors and Philadelphia 76ers.
Brown was consistently rated as the "best high school player" in his class, which also included high school standouts Eddy Curry and Tyson Chandler. He was the high school player of the year as a senior in Georgia. Brown finished his high school career at the historic Glynn Academy (in Brunswick, Georgia) as the school's all-time leading rebounder (1,235) and shot-blocker (605), and also finished second all-time as a scorer and he was named to the 2001 McDonald's All-American Team.
Originally signing a letter of intent to play for the University of Florida, he later declared for the 2001 NBA draft. The Washington Wizards, under team president Michael Jordan, decided to use their first overall pick on him. Following a pre-draft workout with the Wizards, it has been reported that Brown told then-Wizards coach Doug Collins, "If you draft me, you'll never regret it."

Judging me by the way I look will only prove you wrong
There is so much more than meets the eye below
This decorated skin and core
If you dig a little deeper beneath your painted smile
You will find there's more to this world than
Trends hits and superstars
Stereotyped black and white and nothing in between
Comaborn just a weak and shallow slave
High on MTV
If you look a little further beneath your painted eyes
You will find there's more to this world than
Fashion and Britney Spears
COMABORN
If you search a little longer before you start to cry
You will find there's more to this world than
