Darron Brittman (born September 3, 1962) is a former American basketball player who is best known as the first officially recognized NCAA Division I season steals leader in 1985–86. He is also one of only two Division I players ever to record 11 or more steals in two separate games. The first occurrence was on January 24, 1986 against McKendree University, and the second time happened two weeks later on February 8 against Saint Xavier University. Brittman recorded 11 steals in each game. Brittman grew up in Chicago, Illinois and attended Chicago Vocational Career Academy.

Darrhon
Darrhon or Darron (Greek: Δάῤῥων) was a Paeonian god of healing, whose cult was adopted by the ancient Macedonians, as mentioned by Hesychius as Macedonian Daemon and attested hapax in one inscription of Pella c. 200-150 BC. Excavations revealed a sanctuary of Darrhon in ancient Pella. It has been argued that while Darrhon (Greek:Δάῤῥων) was initially a minor deity, he was later identified and worshiped as Asclepius. Etymology It has been suggested that "Darrhon" is a Macedonian-styled name of Greek participle θαρρῶν tharrhon, meaning "giving courage, making bold". Θάρρων, ''Tharrhon'', is an Eretrian eponym. Alternatively, his name might be derived from the Thracian tribe of Derrones in the north part of the Strymon valley, compare Apollo Derenus in Abdera Pindar's Paeans: A Reading of the Fragments with a Survey of the Genrby Ian Rutherford See also * Apollo * Eileithyia * Hygeia * Panacea In Greek mythology, Panacea (Greek ''Πανάκει ...
