Well known NBA and college basketball star and longtime NASCAR fan Brad Daugherty joined the ESPN and ABC team of hosts, analysts and pit reporters covering NASCAR in 2007. Brad Daugherty  previously served as a college basketball game sideline reporter and analyst for ESPN and ABC (1999-2001), covering the ACC conference telecasts. Before ESPN, Brad Daugherty served as a game analyst for the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers from 1996-1998 on the Hometown 43/Cavaliers Television Network. Brad Daugherty also worked as an analyst for the San Antonio Spurs from 1996-1998.

Brad Daugherty played eight seasons in the NBA for the Cleveland Cavaliers, who selected him as the No. 1 pick in the 1986 draft. A five-time All-Star, Brad Daugherty averaged 19 points and 9.5 rebounds a game during his pro career, one that was cut short due to recurring back problems. Brad Daugherty sat out the last part of the 1994 season and missed all of the following two years before retiring from the NBA. His #43 jersey, a number Brad Daugherty chose in honor of Richard Petty, was retired by the Cavs a year later.

A native of Black Mountain, North Carolina, and a 1986 graduate of the University of North Carolina, Brad Daugherty was a first-team All-American as a senior, averaging 20.2 points and nine rebounds per game. Brad Daugherty was inducted into the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame in May 2001.

Brad Daugherty is also an avid fisherman, hunter and golfer. In 1987 Brad Daugherty took a serious interest in racing and co-founded a late-model stock race team with driver Robert Pressley, competing in the NASCAR Winston Racing Series Mid-Atlantic Region, winning the regional championship in 1987 and 1988. In 1989 they moved up to the NASCAR Busch Series. In just their 12th start at that level, Pressley earned his first Busch Series victory at the Orange County Speedway in North Carolina.

Brad Daugherty later supported and mentored several up-and-coming drivers as an owner in the NASCAR Busch Series and Craftsman Truck Series, including Kenny Irwin Jr., Wayne Anderson and Kevin Harvick. Irwin won two Truck Series races for Daugherty in 1997, the first at Homestead-Miami Speedway in March and the second at Texas Motor Speedway in June.

If there were a band named Daugherty, fronted by former Cleveland Cavalier Brad Daugherty, I'd probably go see them. Daughtry? Less likely.
