Team USA swimmers Patrick Sammon and Michael Andrew say they didn't recognize Jaylen Brown when reviewing footage of the Philadelphia 76ers star on a GoPro they found on the ocean floor in Hawaii.

Sammon launched their search for the lost camera's owner by sharing footage of Brown paddling on a surfboard and asking followers to help identify him.

"As soon as we turned it on, we were like, 'Oh, this guy looks super familiar,'" Sammon said in an interview shared Friday by USA Swimming. "This guy is, like, seven feet tall, and there's a mic boom over his head, so you could see he has a full-on camera crew. And we're like, 'Alright, we've got to figure out who this guy is.'"

The swimmers' discovery quickly went viral after Sammon posted the video of Brown in late August.

"Anyone know who this is? Tag him if you do," Sammon wrote on the video. "Help me find him so I can give him his footage back + a free swim lesson lol."

Sammon said he received responses within the first two minutes of posting asking him if he really didn't know the video featured Brown.

Should Brown take Sammon up on his offer of lessons, it wouldn't be his first time learning from a professional. He said last October he had been recently taught by former U.S. Olympic swimmer and Boston College swim coach Dara Torres.
