I remember watching it on Sportscenter that night.

Still can't believe ESPN showed the entire event of his collapse and then dying on the court.

And they barely warned you just saying you might want to look away.

He had stopped taking his heart medication because he said it made him listless and have no energy for the games. There was no trace of his prescribed heart medication in his body when he died.

Plus I remember them saying he went the the field and ran around the track that same day. Something he had not done before.

With the better meds today he probably would have felt fine taking them while playing.It was very tough to see on tv.That was a special team to continue on & go as far as they did.
