We also recognize that the…

Legends of Baltimore: Beyond the Game (BALTIMORE – August 3, 2026) – Dwayne “Kosher” Wood was standing outside a basketball camp when I called him. That detail says almost everything. Decades after Baltimore basketball helped shape and protect him, Kosher is still around the game, still around the children, and still trying to provide the next generation with some of what his generation received. This time, however, the young people would not have to pay for it. “When we do stuff, I like for the kids to have no cost,” Wood said. “Because when we came up, everything—we didn’t have…
