Wayman Tisdale

 

2002 Legacy Tribute Award, 2009 Inductee

Wayman Lawrence Tisdale was born in Fort Worth, Texs on June 9, 1964.  His father was the Rev. Louis L. Tisdale who became pastor of the Friendship Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma when Wayman was still a child.  Wayman grew up in Tulsa and attended Booker T. Washington High School where he put his 6 ft 9 inches to good use on the basketball court.  He began playing the bass guitar in church early on and described music as his first love.  It was basketball that was to be his first career, though.
