The Baltimore basketball standout survived addiction, gunfire, and the prospect of prison—then devoted his second chance to helping young people see one for themselves. (BALTIMORE – September 2, 2026) – I have to thank Dwayne “Kosher” Wood for the bounce pass. My reintroduction to Baltimore basketball history took root at the Dome, where I covered Greg Branch’s Tally Ho Foundation Legends Tournament year after year.

My mother trained me to answer the business phone from the time I was knee-high to a fiddle. “Good evening, how may I help you?” Etiquette. How to act when guests came around.
