It’s always fun to hear our Legends reminisce about the people of their careers and lives. This episode features five of our recent guest legends doing just that. Perry Turnbull, Red Berenson, Gary Sabourin, John Wensink and Jeff Brown recall the guys of their time, and their stories.
Jeff Brown– a Blues star of the 1990s who still holds some of the offensive team records for a defenseman. Only Hull and Oates had more scoring points during the Blues ‘90’-91 season. After his playing days, Brownie became a highly-respected coach piloting several non-NHL teams to championships, and has been instrumental in developing young St. Louis players into NHL talent. Enjoy!

Stories from his NBA career include the time Allen Iverson took care of Hughes’ mom and little brother like they were his own, getting team card game advice from Rick Mahorn, playing with dream teamers Chris Mullin and Christian Laettner, his first free agency ending with being recruited by Michael Jordan to play alongside MJ.
