Rest in peace and power ❤

R I p hank

Truly missed Eric (Hank) Gathers 1967 1990 ❤

Whenever I see this footage, I just keep imagining Hank getting back up on his feet like he did the first time this happened...

Sthu Don't throw a parade for Detroit yet????

on my 9th birthday

I remember watching the March madness and when he made that final shot when he dumped the ball in the basket and when he went to the back of court when he collapsed that was just hard to watch 32 years ago it doesn't seem to be that long they was going to draft him to the NBA because he was so good and talented but he never made it

Hank Gathers and Chuck Hughes didn’t die in vain. Because of those incidents Buffalo Bills and Bengals team doctors had the knowledge and hindsight to save Hamlin.

I was in the Navy stationed in the Philippines when this happened

Buffalo today :(

If he had already collapsed once and had a Dr die this way it was on Dr's failing to see a pre existing issue

Id love to see more boxing related Up Close interviews

Chris Myers is awesome

He had a kid dang man 😔

Why would ESPN air that footage???

so sad and to hear his 17 yr old cousin died the same way

I remember the moment like it happened yesterday! It was the saddest moment in the 40 full seasons of keeping up with DI hoops! My senior year in HS and I was watching that game on cable! Cing him fall and go limp was and still is so surreal! Doesn't seem like 31 years ago because it still resonates! He was a Greek Adonis in a basketball uniform like he'd been sculpted! A phenomenal athlete who's potential for a lengthy NBA career was limitless! Gifted in his case was a legit understatement!

These are great so happy you're with nascar more this year

Rest In Peace Hank Gathers 1967 - 1990

His name was Hank Gathers Junior

This is great

2 bots and me wow

Chris Myers and many other journalists back then used to ask good questions where an athlete would have to provide an insight. Now everyone just kisses ass

I mostly remember Chris Myers as a nascar something

Interesting

I miss Chris Myers for NASCAR on FOX.

Huh

Thanks for posting the video, I enjoyed watching 'Up Close' growing up and this brings back a lot of great memories. I recently thought about Up Close and Deion Sanders appearance on the show, specifically him recounting a suicide attempt-It's interesting to see an athlete so successful after Sports that was that down or reaching the ultimate low point in the midst of hugely notable career(Super Bowls, World Series, Highest paid)
