Daily News | Damar Hamlin’s ordeal motivates Bo Kimble to keep honoring the memory of Hank Gathers
Bo Kimble was about to tune in Monday night to the Bengals-Bills game when he received a phone call from Albert Gersten, a booster from Kimble’s basketball days at Loyola Marymount.Monday Night Football
Kimble thinks about his friend every day, but it was the death of Robert Carter — a 38-year-old whom he hardly knew — that pushed him into action. Kimble was playing in a summer basketball league at a YMCA in New Jersey when Carter went into cardiac arrest. “It’s heartbreaking,” Kimble said. “It’s stressful to see. You know it’s a serious issue when you see CPR being administered and you witness the AED being used and trying to revive him. That’s extremely, extremely traumatic, not just for the team but for the fans in the stands. You don’t want to see that. But it’s better to do that and save him than not being public or having the team exposed to it. From what I hear, Damar is a great community guy.
