Working at 91, for most Americans, is a terrifying reality. However, for one NBA figure, it's a mark of honor. The New York Knicks legend Hubie Brown will call one more game before retirement. Ryan Glasspiegel of the New York Post initially reported the hardcore NBA fan piece of news.

Brown is a unique color commentator.

Instead of focusing on forcing catchphrases and jokes during NBA action, Brown educates without lecturing the audience. NBA fans rarely get the pleasure of learning something while also having the comfort of listening to a made-for-radio voice during the action.

Brown started working for ESPN in 2004, providing 20 years of service in the broadcast space at a high level. However, before he took the mic, he led the bench.

Brown coached in the NBA for 15 years, making the postseason in eight seasons. During that time, He coached the Knicks in 344 games and won eight playoff games. He then took a 15-year break and ultimately signed with the Memphis Grizzles as his last stop as a head coach.

According to ESPN, Brown's last game will occur on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 9, at 2 PM Eastern Time.

Brown will join Mike Breen to call the Philadelphia 76ers at the Milwaukee Bucks contest.

The Knicks legend will end his broadcasting career in the city where he began his coaching career as an assistant coach for the Bucks in 1972.

Watching Brown's last game is a piece of NBA history a hardcore fan would love to have in their memory box.
