Don Brkovich (born June 24, 1959)[1] is a member of the 1979 Michigan Spartan championship college basketball team that won the title when they played Indiana State (33-0) led by Larry Bird.[2]

His older brother Mike, known as the "Canadian Golden Arm", was a starter on that fabled team. The Brkovich brothers are the only known NCAA Canadian brothers to win this coveted title.[citation needed] Don later transferred to New Mexico and finished his career playing for the Lobos and Gary Colson.
