Is "PEARL" WASHINGTON A Legend In The Game? Stunted Growth

Рет қаралды 77,575

Today’s feature was a part of the all famous 1986 NBA draft class that’s known for its players not reaching their full potential, mainly because of a problem that tore down families in the 80s and took so many sports stars from the world too soon. Substance abuse. But Pearl Washington by all accounts was the polar opposite of the kids looking to experience the wilder side of life or be associated with the cool crowd. He’s known for his crossover move that not many had seen before him. He was drafted high in the 86 draft to one of his hometown teams, which came with tons of expectations. His potential was cut surprisingly short, as he only lasted 3 seasons in the NBA for reasons I will explain. Sadly Pearl Washington died after complications of cancer steaming from a brain tumor in 2016. He recounted that he didn't get the opportunity to play and show his full potential, also that he lost desire to play professionally. Is "Pearl" Washington a legend in the game? OUT NOW!! 🎥 🏀 ⛹️‍♂️ 🔥

I disagree about the 3 pointer. Pearl broke into the NBA when the 3 point shot was not fully understood. While there were good 3 point shooters, it wasn't the standard yet. Look up the Washington Bullet team stats from that era. Also, Kevin Johnson was drafted in 1987-88. He averaged in the same ball park of 3 point shots as Pearl. He was starter early in his career and eventually became a 3 time All Star. I think the main difference between KJ and Pearl is that KJ ended up landing a Phoenix team that understood his game better and he was a little bit more efficient. Sometimes where you play is as important as raw talent and potential.

@MarquisdeSuave 2 жыл бұрын

My dad was a coach in the Bronx in the 60's, 70's and 80's. He used to run a summer camp at Pace U in Manhattan. Summer of 86 he had Pearl come in as a guest counselor for a few days. During a pickup game we played a game which was basically the Stars vs the Scrubs but with the Scrubs having Washington on the team. Pearl could not shoot so it seemed like the Scrubs would get eaten alive because it was basically 4 on 5. Not so. Washington put on an absolute clinic of ballhandling and passing. He'd command the Scrubs to keep making cuts to the basket and if he couldnt get them the ball he'd have them reset and cut again. He ran both the offense and defense on the floor like a general and just made the group of Scrubs look like stars. The Scrubs flat out dominated the Stars in that game and it was crazy watching Pearl run that team. He just made everybody around him better. Now I saw my dad run the same drill with guys like Rod Strickland, Kenny Smith and a bunch of other NYC point guard legends and the Star team almost always won but for one afternoon Pearl was magic.

I saw Pearl play a lot and he's one of the most electric and exciting players I've ever seen. Pearl had fans on the edge of their seats because he always seemed to be pushing the ball forward and changing directions, crossing defenders, and finishing creatively. Joh Stockton called Pearl one of the most difficult players to guard he ever faced. Pearl wasn't playing above the rim but he was strong, extremely shifty, and he could create his own shot as well as find teammates for easy scores. Pearl was also one of the players that fueled the change from more conservative ball handling rules to a new vision of crossovers going between the legs, behind the back, or just dropping a defender with his quick change of direction moves. He was a NYC playground prodigy whose game was about running, slick ball handling, getting into the paint or finishing in the mid range after faking defenders out of their jockstraps. Pearl made the game exciting and was fun to watch. RIP

I also believe his conditioning contributed to his stunted growth and who knows the tumor may have already been growing but regardless his style made him one of the most electric collegiate players ever!!!!

I remember him watching play in one legendary game in king Towers Projects. I swear the smooth and effortless way he broke down 2 man defenses was unbelievable. One play I’ll always remember was when Pearl was caught at mid court surrounded by 3 defenders. I watched thinking there’s no humanly possible way anyone can dribble out of this traffic. Pearl crossed between his legs,crossed behind his back and crossed again shaking all three. The crowd went Bananas! Many players can shake and bake but the flair Pearl did it with was like watching a masterpiece being created by the Great Classical Musicians and Artists. Facts!

He had a brain tumor back in 95 too. He got it removed, and then it came back 20 years later.
