Dustin Brown, the all time leader in games played for the Los Angeles Kings, is having his #23 hung from the rafters of the Staples Center on February 11th. Surely. Brown is the greatest athlete to ever wear the number 23, and is certainly the best 23 to play at the Staples Center. His career lasted for nearly 20 years, almost entirely with the Kings, save for time in Switzerland during the lockout. He was part of 2 Cup winning squads.
Known for his physical play, the length of his tenure in LA allowed him to build cache as a respected leader not only in Los Angeles, but across the NHL as well. He was team Captain for 8 years, leading by example, through quiet dignity and hard work. Oh, I'm sorry, did I say dignity? I meant this.
Dustin Brown, ladies and gentlemen.
