I"ll never forget the day he died, the reaction from the basketball community in Philly, and LMU's tournament run, with Bo Kimble shooting free throws left handed.

I was seven years old, and I remember my dad trying to explain it to me. Bo Kimble was one of my first favorite players, along with Bobby Hurley and Christian Laettner, and then Grant Hill.

Awful situation that turned into an amazing tribute

And Reggie Lewis three years later.

I will never forget this game. I lived in Southern California at the time and with a spur of the moment decision decided to take my son to his first college bb game. I figured what a great first game to see, LMU and likely scoring 110 plus points in a conference tournament game.

Sat in seats about 50 feet from where Hank collapsed, the quiet of the arena and watching him non responsive and then his leg starting to shake. If I remember correctly, no defriblerator was available to be brought onto the court. I wonder if that has changed?

Absolutely something that will not be forgotten.
