Dwayne Washington

first of all, I didn't know you graduated from Boys and Girls High School, you know what I'm saying? Every time I hear Boys and Girls, I think of basketball.

That's one of the number one basketball, high school basketball high schools in New York City, right? And I believe Pearl Washington, I believe Dwayne Washington went there, Paul.

He went there, right? Yeah.

Where are we in your estimation where education is concerned?

They haven't really changed in their quality in terms of the players they lost and they added.

Of course, maybe Dwayne Washington will become the alpha guy, but otherwise... it's like jacobitis duane washington and then a bunch of role players of the euro league and i'm i'm not i'm not sure how i could put it up from the tv off tier honestly um

do you have any arguments just to give you a reason for thoughts uh among those more exciting players besides Dwayne Washington that we mentioned Marjan Bouchamp might be intriguing player to watch some decision makers even think that he might be one of the top scorers in the competition he played for Milwaukee he has extensive NBA career and experience so he might add that swag to the team I always like their German core players like Tiemann for instance now joining the team But I agree with you.

You know, I would be lying to myself if I put them above I'm scrolling Instagram.

I mean, but I cannot get not excited having Yokobitis back.

on our cable station network in 1983-84, all throughout the 80s.

Pearl Washington, Sherman Douglas, Ronnie Cycli, all of these players.

I loved watching those teams play at Syracuse.

Derek Coleman, I could keep going on and on as a kid.

One of the first college basketball games I ever did was at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse.

And it may have been Pearl Washington, for people that remember that name, but one of them hit a half-court shot in one of the early college basketball games that I ever did, long before I was doing them regularly.

Hit a half-court shot to win it, and I certainly remember that one, and I probably would tell you that The broadcast itself wasn't very good because I wasn't very good at it then.

I had not done many games, but I remember that rush, that adrenaline when that ball was thrown up and you were all watching it and it drops through that net and the place that the carry don't goes bananas.

Derrick Coleman.

Who's the all time fantasy point guard? Is it Sherm? Pearl Washington didn't do much in college.

Pearl Washington's pretty good.

There's a lot of people that'll also go McNamara.

Um-

Johnson was the headline, but he wasn't the last name on the list that year.

New Jersey Nets guard Dwayne Washington also tested positive for cocaine and was immediately handed a permanent ban.

He was reinstated eventually and got a brief look with the Clippers during the 92-93 season, but his NBA career was essentially over before it ever really had a chance to breathe.

After his NBA days ended, Washington played professionally in France, Spain, Colombia, Venezuela, Israel, and Germany, where he would later settle and start a family.

His son, Dwayne Washington Jr., grew up in Germany and eventually played in the NBA briefly.

But while Washington's case was cut short before it started, John Drew's was a different kind of tragedy.

Drew had been a real star, a two-time All-Star with the Atlanta Hawks, one of the best scorers on some bad Hawks teams, a guy who could drop 20 on any night.

Bayern.

So we had, uh, Jokubaitis, Obst, Dwayne Washington-

Mm-hmm

... as starters, and somebody else as, as bigs.
