My Take
Reggie Lewis is one of those names that brings a lump to my throat. A Baltimore kid who blossomed at Northeastern and became the Celtics' rising star, he was gone at just 27. Boston retiring his number says everything about how loved and how promising he was, poised to carry the torch from the franchise's legends. We only got a glimpse of what he could have been, and that incompleteness is exactly what makes his story haunt me. When I read about lives cut this short, I am reminded how fragile and precious health really is, and how much a community can hold onto someone in so little time.
