Scott William Brooks was born on July 31, 1965, in French Camp, California. Known for his boyish appearance, some have noted a resemblance to Marty McFly, the iconic fictional character from the “Back to the Future” series. Brooks is a former professional basketball player and veteran NBA coach. In 2001, he was inducted into the University of California, Irvine’s Hall of Fame. Most recently, he served as the head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder in the National Basketball Association (NBA). During his playing career, he primarily occupied the guard position. Brooks is estimated to have a net worth of approximately $10 million.
Scott Brooks began his basketball journey at East Union High School in Manteca, California, from which he graduated in 1983.

From 1985 to 1987, he played for the University of California, Irvine.
One of Brooks' standout collegiate performances came in a game against the University of the Pacific, where he scored 41 points in a 90–79 victory. This feat tied the scoring record at the Pacific’s Spanos Center for a single game, solidifying his reputation as a capable and prolific scorer at the college level.
Despite not being selected in the 1987 NBA Draft, Brooks launched his professional career in the Continental Basketball Association (CBA), joining the Albany Patroons. He was named to the CBA All-Rookie Team in 1988 and played a key role in the Patroons’ championship that season. He also had a stint in the now-defunct World Basketball League with the Fresno Flames.
