What Really Killed Reggie Lewis? The Celtics Captain Boston Never EXPLAINED!
Twelve of America's top cardiologists told Reggie Lewis his career was over — that playing could kill him. One Harvard doctor said he had a normal athlete's heart. Eleven weeks later, the Boston Celtics captain was dead at 27. This documentary counts down 10 documented facts about Reggie Lewis: the Dunbar High sixth man on a 59-0 team, the Northeastern star who fell to pick 22 in the 1987 NBA Draft, the defender who blocked Michael Jordan four times in one night, and the malpractice trials that left Boston with no answer about what killed his heart.
Full Reggie Lewis documentary covering the Reggie Lewis true story, the Reggie Lewis heart condition, the Reggie Lewis collapse against the Charlotte Hornets in the 1993 NBA Playoffs, and how Reggie Lewis died at Brandeis University. We break down the Dunbar High School dynasty with Muggsy Bogues, Reggie Lewis Northeastern stats under Jim Calhoun, the Reggie Lewis Michael Jordan blocks at Boston Garden, the Celtics captaincy after Larry Bird retired, the Dr. Gilbert Mudge diagnosis, the autopsy findings, the Donna Harris-Lewis malpractice trial, and the Reggie Lewis jersey retirement. Essential viewing for fans of 90s NBA history, Boston Celtics history, forgotten NBA legends, and untold sports tragedies.
