Reggie Lewis

Reggie Lewis was a talented American basketball player who played for the Boston Celtics in the NBA during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Known for his scoring ability and leadership, he helped his team reach the playoffs multiple times. Tragically, his career and life were cut short when he died suddenly at age 27 during an off-season workout due to a heart condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Lewis is remembered as one of the most promising players of his era, and his legacy continues through his contributions on the court and the awareness raised about sudden heart conditions in athletes.
