+Karl G No problem

swag16, Miami future is BRIGHT.

Idk bro same happen with hank gathers

+RUMPELSTILTSKY and don't forget he was i think only about age of 27 or 28.

+RUMPELSTILTSKY fr if he had went maybe got couple medicine to treat him and have couple of doctors watching him he what of got better couple months and be alive today.

+HRTVFan2 they should of fucking took him to the doctors or something he collapsed and just let him go back in the fucking game wtf idiots man

+Manny Donaire Not much footage of Lewis but from everything I've read he was definitely one of the NBA's biggest "what-if" stories and you're probably right about him potentially being an all-time great had he lived.

+seeehorn whats even sadder is that lewis wasnt even in a real game he was practicing to get better

+Spitshine Tommy Yeah, he saw some doctors in the hours or days after he returned to play in this game. The doctors told him that he had a similar heart condition to Hank Gathers and said that he should never play basketball again because he would die if he did!!! He did miss the rest of the series. During the summer, Reggie Lewis got 1 doctor to clear him to play, he immediately went to Brandeis University to shoot some baskets and workout, he collapsed on the floor while playing at Brandies University and died at the hospital a short time later!!! Since then, several college basketball players have had their careers cut short because doctors discovered a heart condition that could be fatal if they continued to play.

+seeehorn Did they take Lewis to the hospital after the game, and did the findings contribute to him missing the rest of the series? I'm assuming they did.

+Bailey Ballsz He may have fainted before, but I still believe they should've taken Reggie Lewis to a hospital immediately!! For some reason, you're response triggered a memory I had of Joe Kleine(who I just noticed was a teammate of Reggie Lewis in this game and who you can see checking on Reggie) collapsing during the national anthem of a nationally televised NBC game a few years after this game took place. I was foggy on the details so I just googled 'Joe Kleine Collapse' and an article came up from April/1996 about Joe Kleine collapsing during the national anthem of a game against the Lakers. The article says J.Kleine told the doctors he could walk off on his own, but they insisted that he'd be put on a stretcher and took him straight to a hospital.I brought all that up to say, that's what should've been done with Reggie Lewis. I'm assuming the reason they put Joe Kleine on a stretcher, then into an ambulance and took him to the hospital was because of what happened to Reggie Lewis here. They didn't want to take any chances

+seeehorn He said he fainted before and all he did was faint so i dont see how he or anyone else could of thought more of it other than exhausted or nerves, but i do agree he should of got checked out at the hospital after this game.
