    ESPN did a clip on him today.
    He played for Loyola Marymount University. He looked like a beast listed at 6'7 back then.
    He probably would have had a good NBA career if they had cured his heart problem.

    I was a sprightly 18 year-old during that run. I remember the LMU show from that season and the previous season. The most fun basketball team I've ever watched in my life. That Michigan game in the '90 NCAA tournament should be put in a museum as to what basketball can be when you let players play.

    So ESPN is doing a 30 for 30 on Paul Westhead and this LMU team. That's going to be fucking FANtastic.
