Just watched ESPN 30 for 30 "Guru of Go" about Hank Gathers and the Loyola Marymount team from 1990...I was just a kid when Gathers died on the court, but I remember it well...that was an amazing team that played well above their heads in honor of their teammate...great story if you ever have a chance to watch on ESPN or ITunes..

Both stories are tragic no doubt...IMO Gathers was even more so because he died of a heart condition on the court in the middle of a game..as a ten year old I didn't really get how sad it was or understand how brief and fleeting life is...

Didnt his teammate hit a left handed free throw in honor of him? I remember it.
