At workHowever, there is another side to Dwayne and some interesting history.   Dwayne started playing basketball at an early age.  I  know because I watched him grow up playing with a rolled up sock shooting at a wire hanger modified as a basket rim, hanging on the back of the bedroom door.   Because the standard size bedroom door is about 6 feet tall, that means Dwayne ( Wayne \ Wayne as we know him) was dunking at the age of eight years old.  Of course, you would have to add the disciplant he received form leaving shoe prints on the side wall and door.  

His love for the game started at a very early age.  Lighting quick, handles At the Camp(dribbling skills) and a jump shot that was "Wet", "Nothing but Net" or as we said back in the day "Swish".   During those days, week in and week out Dwayne had to "give the business" \ "serve up" \ "break ankles" - in other words play against - the likes of Rodney Smith,  Derwin  Hill, Terry Connolly, Derrick Bowens, Darrell Rollins , Ozzie Thompson, and Deon Boyce    

Dwayne continued his basketball at the High School level playing varisity Basketball for then powerhouse "Frederick High Cadets".  As a true point guard and modified two guard, every county team and then Tri-State - Frederick County, Washington County, and West Virginia and  teams -  hated  to play against Dwayne and his Frederick High teammates.  Dwayne rained down so many junp shoots - from way  down town (before the 3-point shoot) that he was given the name "Pearl"  after the great Dwayne "Pearl" Washington  (former player for At Car Washthe Sycaruse University Organemen).
