Two weeks after his father's passing, Dwayne Washington, Jr. took time to reflect on his father's legacy, the basketball team he's naming after him, and the Amazing Race.
He called him "his hero".
Those were the words that Dwayne Washington, Jr. used to describe his famous father, Pearl Washington, when he got up to speak at the Syracuse basketball icon's public service in Brooklyn last Friday.
When speaking on his relationship with his father, Washington, Jr. said they kept it casual. They talked basketball. They went to NBA games. They would go out to eat.
