Francis Anthony "Frank" Brickowski (born August 14, 1959) is an American retired professional basketball player, formerly in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Born in Bayville, New York, Brickowski played college basketball for four years as a power forward/center for Penn State. He won the John Lawther Award in 1980 as Penn State's MVP.
Brickowski was then selected with the 11th pick of the third round of the 1981 NBA draft by the New York Knicks. The Knicks considered him not quite ready for the NBA, so he began his professional basketball career in Italy. After a year in Italy, he played for another year in France, and the Knicks relinquished their draft rights after the 1982–83 NBA season. Brickowski then played another season overseas for Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel.
Brickowski signed with the Seattle SuperSonics for the 1984–85 on September 23, 1984, arriving in the league three years after being drafted. After two decent seasons, he signed on with the Los Angeles Lakers, but only played part of one season before being traded to the San Antonio Spurs, along with Pétur Guðmundsson, two draft choices and cash, for Mychal Thompson. Although Brickowski only played 7 games the rest of that season, he played 3 more productive seasons for San Antonio, including scoring a career-high 16 points per game during the 1987–88 season.
