I was honored to have attended LMU with these magical players and our record making and breaking fast break team. I was fortunate to have classes with Bo and Hank and to count both as friends. That time in our school's sports history was among the best, most fun, most exciting times of my young life. To this day, I think of Bo and Hank fondly and remembering Hank's collapse and death at the game still elicits tears. I just watched Gonzaga, one of our rivals back then, beat UCLA in a turnaround 2nd half. It made me nostalgic so I came here. Long live the legacy of our very special team. 🎉🦁❤
Dude. I am pretty sure you are joking...but nobody would know for sure. He was not built for the pro game. He had no outside game and was to small for a nba power forward. More than likely he would have rode the bench for 7-8 years and done.
@@Supergoat76 it pains me to agree with most of your points. Problem is, if his path was the HOF, it wouldn’t be from scoring for everything you pointed out however, if he specialized in other aspects of the game the same way Dennis Rodman (same height) did and get lucky to play on stacked teams that win chips, I can see that happening.
He scored 48 pts without free throws. Shaq even praise him before his death that he is so tough to guard on the paint. It's pretty weird coz he had a smooth touch in the paint but maybe his big hand and his form struggles him to shoot on ft line. But you can see he adjusted it on his left hand and even if he just try it he would make it coz he has the touch of scoring the ball. He is a scoring machine average 32 a game leading the whole NCAA higher than Shaq. Gathers was expected to be the no.1 or 2 in the draft to compete with Derick Coleman. Coleman honestly said that Gathers would be the no.1 with a mile. That's how great Gathers is as a basketball player.
@King Woochi just finished watching it... Sad story, but a Great film. I love basketball... unfortunately u get to an age where it can't love you back... 🏀 for Life 🧬
I am lucky enough to be old enough to see that team play live. They were as exciting as any team I have ever seen play basketball. There were games they would score over 150 points. It was like a marriage between track and field and basketball. The unrelenting speed which they played the game was so much fun to watch.
Learning about Hank got me into following college bball. I was 12-when he passed and I still get chills seeing him collapse. I remember watching his movie a few years later too. He definitely would’ve been an NBA star. Sad he passed so young.
After seeing what happened to Damar Hamlin, i wanted to come watch your amazing life story again. Hank Gathers gone way too young, lets pray Hamlin pulls through 🙏🙏🙏
The way his mother (I’m assuming it’s his mother) reacts when the statue is unveiled is absolutely heart breaking. Such a shame we never got to see him mature as a player and see him showcase his talents in the NBA. 🏀😟
To all my young and older brothers, Athletes and Non-Athletes, always check on your health even when you think your okay or someone tells you it’s alright. That’s actually one of worst fears having an oversized heart. Just one heart palpitation will drive me crazy. Take care of y’all selves
@@TheShootersBay Hope you're joking. Especially considering your channel revolves around constitutional rights, therefore I would assume you should be for equality.
i am a clemson fan but i fell in love with that team. they were the most exciting team of all time and i believe if hank didnt die they could have won the national championship. if anybody has not seen the espn 30 for 30 the guru of go i highly recommend it
The Keyontae Johnson news brought me here. Prayers going up!🙏 strength 💪 love💕 and blessings for you Keyontae! By his stripes you shall be healed.🙏 Big respect to your memories Mr. Gathers💔🙏Gone, but never forgotten..May your memories live on and you continue to rest in peace.🙏
Of all the teams in college history this would have been the worst one to play on if you had a heart condition. They averaged 122.4 points a game that year. Heartbreaking.
I’ve heard from a couple LMU students that in the arena when it’s empty that the sound of a ball bouncing could be heard when there’s nobody on the court supposedly the ghost of Gathers
@@BAKER22-l4u high school and nba are two different things so what's your point? He had a lot of talent but also work ethic. Yes could have been great in NBA
I remember watching it live as 15yr old with my buddies, we were all quiet and knew something was really bad. It was saddening and shocking he was phenomenal and from all accounts just a good dude. We all wanted to see Bo & Hank vs UNLV, what a battle it would been. He and Bo live with all of us of certain age, every March. Great tribute LMU.
That team scored an average 122 points a game. Gonzaga, last season's current highest scoring team, scored about 88 points a game. LMU went over 150 points 3 times that season.
@@jacobesnard I'm sorry, you are absolutely correct. I meant to say that he was undiagnosed until after game with SB. My dad, Art Jones, was the student manager for the program when he attended the University in 1946-50. We were at games in the old Alumni Memorial Gym as far back as I can remember. 3 of his 4 kids (me and my two brothers) attended there, as well as his granddaughter. My dad was entered into the LMU Basketball Hall of Fame as the program's most loyal supporter-and when he died, we found a box that had every stat sheet for every home game of the 89-90 season, as well as all of the articles from Smith and Street and the LA Times, including Conrad's drawing of the guys in the huddle, and Mike Downey's column after they lost to UNLV. Super fan, and I can't make myself throw it all away.
The movie is a true story about hank gathers it was called the final shot it was a great movie but a sad ending when he collapsed I remember watching him on TV March madness when it happened it was sad but he was a good basketball player he was going to be drafted on the NBA but he never made it
I was enthralled with UNLV's offense and Amoeba Defense that Bo Kimball and Hank Gathers were just on the back burners for me. I remember when Bo's left handed FT was THE THING during that tournament. I soon became a fan with their Cinderella story. Gathers and Xavier McDaniel (I believe) were the only players to lead NCAA in pts and rebs at that time. Paul Westphal's offense was what Dantonio was running with Phoenix with Nash and co. God bless Gathers and Kimball for giving us two years of Cinderella magic. Once in a while when I shoot hoops, I shoot one for Gathers left handed.
Side story...in 2000 I was an all state PG. Had scholarships to EVERY school in the country (except UNC). I never signed a letter of intent because I was holding out for UNC. I was also being pushed to skip and go right to the draft....I then tore both knees At the same time. Every scholarship offer was gone. The ONE and ONLY school to keep their offer to me?...Loyola Marymount. I didnt take it but I have a place for that school in my heart. I graduated from FIU and became a lawyer and now running for office.
I know, right? So sad. My best friend has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. She said on the medication it saps your strength. She feels faint just walking. What I want to know is who let him play with an enlarged heart? Even with medication he should not have been playing.
Ahhhh okay, so it was Hank’s own fault he died. Had he only taken his meds, he’d be alive. I’m glad you can provide this armchair QB medical report on Hank and his condition *sarcasm*
He was a professional basketball player. But by him being on medication he should've taken care of his health instead of getting back in the game. I know he didn't want to give up his career as a basketball player, but your health is more important
Why did Michael Jordan not have a real rival in his generation? Because the kept dying on him. 1. Len Bias 2. Hank Gathers 3. Injuries stole the career of Sam Bowie --- a career 10 and 10 guy who was more like Shaquille when he was in his physical prime and healthy.
Curtis 23 He’d stopped taking his medication and not informed anyone. He felt like it was draining his energy. His autopsy literally showed no trace of it in his body, meaning he’d probably been off it for some time by that point.
Wow. He was fooling around playing college ball when he should have been in the NBA stacking chips for his mama. I loathe the NCAA. It's nothing short of slavery.
while the sentiment was touching, i didn't like when they showed him actually dying. That was in poor taste. ESPN didn't care to think maybe a family member or friend could be watching and it would tear them up? You should never use ones death for views and likes, it's poor ethics. They could have had the same impact, without showing the moment when he collapsed on the basketball court, gasping for air as he died.
@@WhiskeySamMcGee That makes no sense whatsoever. people don't need to see someone actually DYING to feel a sense of loss. This is simply "sensationalizing" ones death. Even one clip that shows Hank gathers being whisked away in a stretcher with his feet showing, would have sufficed. This notion that we have to see such "graphic" displays of someone dying is just people that have a sick and twisted obsession with death. There was nothing to be gained by showing that poor man dying but views and selling advertisements to the public. Just because you're a person with no ethics and basic humanity, doesn't mean everyone else doesn't. I watched this, because i had no idea they would show him DYING! We all know when he died, why he died and how he died. I don't need to actually SEE HIM DIE! And your excuse that they showed it repeatedly at the time is equally pitiful. You do know that as a people, we should want to grow and do things better in society as time progresses, right? By your logic, Hank gathers, a black man, should not have been a free man and still a slave, along with some 40 million black people in America, because as you put it, " It was shown repeatedly when it actually happened" Yeah, at the time black people were enslaved and had no rights, it was widely accepted! And even when black people were free, "JIM CROW" laws were the law of the land! So there goes your false and flawed logic....
