Carr, now 72 and the longtime TV analyst for the Cleveland Cavaliers, was among the best to play in the city, for Mackin Catholic, and was among the many local players who went on to star at Notre Dame, where he put up ludicrous numbers in three NCAA Tournament appearances. The first overall pick in the 1971 NBA Draft, Carr played 10 years in the pros, helping lift the Cavs to the Eastern Conference finals in five seasons. Now it’s Carr who’s being lifted, as one of this year’s inductees into the D.C. Sports Hall of Fame – an honor long overdue.
