Title: Lorenzo Charles dies in bus accident Post by: 2Stater on June 27, 2011, 07:44:53 PM http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=6710669
He made the winning Dunk against Houston in the 1983 NCG. Title: Re: Lorenzo Charles dies in bus accident Post by: ricky023 on June 27, 2011, 07:48:33 PM I am sorry to hear this. Prayers to his family and all friends. I watched the game that he dunked it in. It was a wild night. RTR!

He was in the right place at the right time to make the play to beat Houston. Somebody threw up a prayer that was way short and it landed right in his hands. He was under the basket and made an easy dunk. They still replay that often, especially during the Valvano tributes.
