Remembering Hank Gathers: Basketball Isn’t Worth Dying For
March 4, 2019
Today is the 29th anniversary of Hank Gathers’ tragic death. If you don’t know who that is, don’t worry. At this point, after this many years, it’s quite easy to have never known who Gathers was, as a player or as a man. But for people who did get the chance to follow his career, they won’t forget easily.
For the sake of readers who either want to learn or reminisce, for the sake of my own undying need to write about the greatest phenomenon the world of basketball missed out on for terribly tragic reasons, and, hopefully, for the sake of Gathers’ legacy – so even a few more people can know of his story – it’s time to take a trip back through the time machine to meet a kid who loved basketball named Hank.

The #Titans have released CB L'Jarius Sneed, which saves the team $11.4M in cap space. That means he's a Free Agent, and the #Chiefs need a starting cornerback.
Should KC bring him back for another SB Run? @TalkPrimeTime @ChiefsInsider @HenseToddJR3
🚨 BREAKING: The Big 12 is ditching the LED glass court!
Per @PeteThamel, the "state-of-the-art" experiment in KC is over. The league is transitioning back to a hardwood court for the rest of the tournament.
❌ The Reason: Safety first! Players and coaches reported the glass
@deionkburks #Chiefskingdom
🚨 Huge news from @MikeGarafolo
The #Chiefs and LB Drue Tranquill have restructured his contract to create $2.5 MILLION in cap space!
📉 The Move: Base pay drops from $6M to $3.5M, with $3M fully guaranteed.
Brett Veach is clearing every dollar possible to keep this spending
