One of the famed "Triplets" along with Sidney Moncrief and Marvin Delph, Brewer was named All-American in 1978. He averaged 18.0 points per game while helping the Arkansas Razorbacks reach the Final Four in the 1978 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament, and was also named to the All-Tournament Team.

Somebody didn't want to be at the Rockets season ticket holder's christmas party? <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Where did my time go?</p>— James Harden (@JHarden13) <a href="https://twitter.com/JHarden13/statuses/410220505719783425">December 10, 2013</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
LOL. He always looks so uncomfortable in social situations. Were you there? I wasn't surprised at all to see him pretty much hiding out in the back row, like that might make him invisible.

Season ticket holder holiday party. Lots of people there, actually. But extremely underwhelming/boring.

The only guys who were really engaged were AB, Dwight and Greg. Harden looked like he wished he could disappear, Casspi and Lin spoke but were so quiet/subdued you could hardly hear them... meh, overall.
I would hate to do stuff like that if I was a player. Especially if I was a 20 year old kid. It's got to be strange for a young 20 year old kid to have grown men giddy to be around them.
