LOS ANGELES — Standing side by side in the middle of the Compton Dominguez gym on Friday night dressed in suits and holding up their framed basketball jerseys were No. 32, Tyson Chandler, and No. 21, Tayshaun Prince, Dons for life and two of the greatest players from Southern California.
The moment was a long time coming for the school and community, honoring individuals who were not only historic players but true role models.
"Honestly, these are going to be some of the best moments of your life," Chandler told members of this season's Dominguez basketball team in the weight room before their game against Downey. "Don't take none of these moments for granted. This is going to be your brothers for life. Things what you go through together is what makes you bond. You'll never have this again."
