I am glad I made you happy and proud. R.I.P. Reggie Lewis

[geocgeo]

Reggie died from a heart attack after the doctors gave him the O.K. to play when he had previous heart problems. I was there when he collapsed on the court. He was a great one but had to sit and wait because he had Bird,Parish and McHale in front of him on that team. I'm a Celtic fan and always will be just to let you know.The death of Len Bias and his death fucked up the Celtics for years that's why that long gap between championships.

if i remember correctly they were playing the hornets when reggie collapsed, and alonzo mourning quit playing and tried to help reggie. i always respected zo after that

[nickonnecarlo]

@samtheman7975 olajuwon won without an all-star back ups...but he had horry, thorpe and smith behind him :)

[samtheman7975]

@nickonnecarlo olajuwon won by himself during 1993-94 season

@reg12269 thats the thing people dont hate pierce just cuz.. they hate him cuz he roast defenders 24/7 he's not fast and he's older than most young guys and still is a winner just like larry bird

[reg12269]

@reg12269 wont ride rose's jock for i look forward to destroying him in the playoffs. i say lewis was a more atletic and explosive version of paul pierce! y do we diss pierce so much. the man gets the job done. have you seen his dunks lately? reggie had a great mid-range game and was a great swingman. played lots of 2 til bird retired or was hurt then slid to the 3 most of the time. reggie was becoming a great defender at the end as well. loved his pull-ups!

[geocgeo]

@geocgeo Reggie Lewis could play some serious D.

[reg12269]

@geocgeo celts fan too. reggie would be what pierce became! a lifelong hall of fame bound celtic!

[MarkPatriots]

The Early-Mid 90s would've looked like this..

Robert Parish

Kevin McHale

Larry Bird

Len Bias

Reggie Lewis

Dee Brown

Kevin Gamble

etc.

They've would've taken 1-3 titles from 1987-1993, had Bias not died they'd be NBA champs in 87 and maybe 88

Im still sad over losing reggie lewis, he was my favorite player besides michael jordan. I know Reggie was no jordan, but he was to me because i am from boston, and always loved the celtics...
