I will never forget July, 27th or what I was doing in 1993 when I heard. 28 years later, still hurts. RIP Reggie Lewis

[@DJ-gz8bs]

Same. I was only 13, I remember watching that playoff game when he collapsed...and then hearing about him passing on the news. Sadly I got another reminder of it when my high school teammate died of the exact same thing in 1999. Only difference being that my teammate didn't know he had it.

[@Andy_Babb]

I was only 7 and I even remember that

[@jonathanoka7866]

Never forget the day he collapsed. I was 10, I was watching my favorite team since I was 6. Reggie and Dee were my guys growing up

[@jonstefanik9400]

I was 16. Watching a Red Sox game. Sean McDonough announced that Reggie collapsed and was in critical condition. About 15, 20 minutes later McDonough announced, Reggie Lewis is dead. Bonechilling.

[@chrisdougherty4402]

Forever in our hearts, 35!!!

[@andylonghoangle9115]

Reggie is a great bk player & has a good heart..He gives out Turkey for poor people every year..R.I.P #35

[@cfjelde]

The thing that's hurts so much is that he was only going up...as a person...as a player. Man, I wanted to see more.

[@cesarmedina7080]

Great player and a good person. The team fell apart after he died and it took a very long time before they were a good team again. Only one playoff appearance in 8 seasons after reggie died. Hope his wife and children are doing well.

[@jamiecain8120]

He is a very special person to you that makes me sad . Don't worry he will be with you guys in spirit . I know he is a legendary celtics player reggie Lewis he will be always be a Boston celtics legendary player forever !!!

[@johnwhitworth2090]

He had an awesome stop and pop. RIP Reggie.

[@robwasilewski9273]

Imagine Reggie, Len Bias, Bird, McKale, and Parrish?

[@WildChuco]

Seein muggsy cry was enough for me. Heart breaking not from just the basketball stand point, appeared to be such a good human, nice guy and unfortunately left a family behind so sad.

[@jaredontv]

if Reggie had lived to play throughout the 90s.. suddenly this would had been a different Celtics teams.. guys like Dee Brown, Dino Radja , David Westley and Rick Fox become the perfect role player with Reggie being the star...

[@anthonymorraiii]

Him and Len Bias would have led them....

[@johnwhitworth2090]

I loved Reggie's game and glad I was able to watch him play. He was a great player. Well deserved.

[@robwasilewski9273]

Amazing player

[@ibzanarroyo704]

He’s loved here in Atlantic City too!!!!

[@mikec62978]

I've been trying to find the full documentary of this forever. Does anyone know where I can find it?

[@lorenzowoodson624]

I couldn't help but shed a few tears as I watched this video. In my opinion Reggie was one of the best players to ever play in the NBA! I'm not just saying that because he was my cousin, I truly feel that way. He gave 110 percent all the time on both ends of the court and that's what made him a special player. He left us way too soon and he is missed dearly😢 continue to rest champ and I'll see you on the other side! 🙏🏾

[@vinceofficial94]

Imagine a combo of Reggie Lewis and Len Bias?? 90's Celtics will be a contender.

[@paulcunningham8802]

If bias and Lewis went on to live, jordan doesn’t have 6 rings

[@jamiecain8120]

Chris herren is a legendary Fresno state mens basketball basketball player in Fresno state Bulldogs !!!

[@wargamesOfficial]

💚🍀

[@dwjoseph59]

He was on his way to becoming an all time great!! This hit the nation hard; just like hank geathers, len bias & benji wilson death's did 😢😢!!

[@andrewlarson7491]

Anyone know how to find the full documentary not just a 10 minute clip?

[@PatrickGlover-yl4bv]

They used to have the whole thing online up until 3 yrs ago. Haven’t found it the last time or two I looked.

[@DeAngeloStevens]

It's a GOOD Thing LJ Loud didn't watched the NEWS of his passing she wasn't around

[@TrentonWade]

Should call the next Reggie documentary “cheated” cuz we got cheated

[@froggy2754]

If someone dislikes this video I swear

[@Andy_Babb]

Man. First Bias, then Lewis. Just awful.

[@robertamore7562]

Rip Reggie Lewis # 35 # Celtics nation bleed green 💚 💪💪 we miss you Reggie thanks for everything you did for the Celtics

[@williamtracz1115]

What a player and what a wonderful person. Sad he left us too soon. Rest Easy Reggie

[@idw9159]

celtic 35 will never be forgotten - thanks for the memories and great play reggie

[@fatovamingus]

This was awful. They announced something happened and it was hours before they came back on tv and said Reggie died. All of us who had been calling each other - my grandfather ,my uncle, my mother - we all stopped calling after that. My God. Then the next morning it was very foggy out and I was driving to work and you got to cut through the projects to get there. And I saw was his little boy maybe 10 years old walking, opening a bag of chips at 8:00 in the morning and I can see through the fog The number 35 on the back of his white T-shirt and as I got closer I could see that he wrote it with a magic marker. I cried.

[@Gabrielpr787]

RL35 I love you Reggie

[@DeAngeloStevens]

Two Weeks after Davey Allison died at Carraway Methodist Medical Center in Birmingham, Alabama in a Helicopter Crash

[@briangruszka8580]

I was at dave cowens basketball camp at Brandeis U and the Celtics practiced there as well.they meaning alot of the great Celtics came in and gave a speech about what happened..it crushed me.he was the next face of the Celtics when Larry retired kid Had pure talent as Larry Said... Such a waste of talent.taken too soon...CELTIC4LIFE☘️☘️☘️☘️

[@brachypelma24]

I am just old enough to remember Reggie Lewis. He was my favorite player back when I was a kid playing in the local school rec league. I still remember the night he hit a half-court shot at the halftime buzzer. And I will always remember when I heard he had died, much, much too young.

[@lamargriffith5068]

Man what could have been

[@fjfairchild73]

Too bad he couldn't lay off the coke. So sad.

[@munkustrap2]

Unbelievable disrespect 🤬 Edit: Oh...& btw...coke had absolutely nothing NOTHING to do with his death. It was hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a structural heart defect! Idiot! Get your players straight!

[@munkustrap2]

Funny how my comment proving you wrong disappeared! I'll say it again! Reggie died from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a structural heart defect. Also the doctor who performed Reggie's autopsy testified that the scarring on his heart was inconsistent with cocaine use, as well as other doctors reaching the same conclusion. One doctor makes something up to try & save his career & a pos paper writes a hatchet piece & you take that as the God's honest truth with no research of your own. Complete disrespect!

[@munkustrap2]

My above comment will probably disappear too since the truth hurts some people's egos. I call it as I see it.
