Former
NCAA Player Of
The Year & 14 Year NBA Star
“Team Toledo
is a much needed addition to the AAU
world, especially for our student-athletes
in Toledo. The key is whether a young
man can have an NBA career like I did,
or not! Either way, one day the basketball
days end. Having an education is the
key to adult success and has allowed
me to pursue a successful business career.
Academics and basketball are what Team
Toledo is all about OPPORTUNITY at its
best.
Some of my fondest
hoops memories are that of the camaraderie
built when I played AAU ball with all
of the fellas from Toledo. Those friendships
and business connections will last
me a lifetime!”

 Brian
Roberts is a Toledo native and has the basketball pedigree
embedded in him. His oldest brother Nolan was a star
guard at St. Francis and went on to play at Valparaiso
before graduating from the University of Toledo. His
sister Shaunda was an All-SEC guard at Kentucky. His
other sister, Marcy, played basketball in high school
and went to the University of Kentucky on track scholarship.
She completed her track career at Chicago State. It is
no surprise that Brian found a niche playing basketball
from the back yard to the pros.
A graduate of St. John's, Brian carried Toledo with him. He was a virtual unknown
in the Atlantic Ten Conference, to being 1st Team All-A10 his senior year. He
ended his college career as the fourth all time leading scorer at the University
of Dayton. Brian has always found a way to excel on the hardwood, yet he was
always at the top of his class when it came to academics. Realizing the importance
of a quality education, Brian focused his energy on basketball and his books.
He was an honor student throughout high school and college.
Now playing in Israel, Brian's professional career has allowed him to give back
to Toledo, the place that, as he proclaims, "helped mold me." Excited
to be partnering with Jim Jackson, Ryan Glaze, one of his childhood mentors,
and his best friend Thomas Carr, Brian is eager to give to Team Toledo and help
provide kids with an opportunity to develop their characters, their athletic
skills, and further their educations.
