#PrayersForPearl: Sending get-well wishes to ailing Syracuse legend Pearl Washington
Posted Oct 1, 2015
There are some athletes who will always be forever young. They will always be 19, always be dazzling, always, in some ways, be perfect. This is especially true in basketball, where teenage phenoms don’t always see their skills translate to the next level. After the initial disappointment, they gain the unintended benefit of being frozen in time....That is why it is shock coupled with sadness to learn that Syracuse great Dwayne “Pearl” Washington was, at the time of this writing, being hospitalized with a brain tumor at the age of 51.
