Final Shot

At age 23, Eric “Hank” Gathers escaped the inner city to become one of America’s top college basketball stars. He thrilled the nation in the late 80’s when he led little Loyola Maramount University to the top, while leading all Division 1 athletes in scoring and rebounding his Junior year. His career was on the fast track and he was certain to be a top NBA draft choice. Gathers was a lovable young athlete who always strove for excellence,and succeeded against great odds. With love and encouragement from his mother, Lucille, a priest and his best friend and basketball star Bo Kimble, Hank pushed himself higher and higher—and then tragedy struck. A deeply moving true story. Starring Victor Love, Duane Davis, George Kennedy, Nell Carter.
