Dwayne Polee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dwayne L. Polee (born March 2, 1963, in Los Angeles, California) is a retired American professional basketball player. He graduated from Pepperdine University in 1986. Polee originally attended the University of Nevada, Las Vegas after graduating from Manual Arts High School in 1981. He played in one game for the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers during the 1986-87 season.

Polee, a 6-5 swingman, was the 1981 Los Angeles player of the year at Manual Arts. He turned in perhaps the greatest individual performance in City championship game history when he scored 43 points in Manual Arts' 82-69 victory over Crenshaw High School at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena in front of 14,123, the largest crowd in city history.[1]

His son, Dwayne Polee Jr., currently a sophomore at Westchester High School in Los Angeles, committed to the University of Southern California before playing his first high school game.[2]
