Elton Brand Balling with Ron Artest, Lamar Odom in High School in 1997

Elton Brand is retiring from the NBA after 16 seasons. The number one pick in the 1999 NBA Draft announced he'd be hanging up his oversized kicks during Elton Brand Youth Day, a basketball event and camp at his alma mater, Peekskill High School in New York. A two-time All-Star, Brand was one of the most feared and polished power forwards in the game during his prime, excelling as a post-up threat, rim defender, midrange shooter, and passer.
