UnfairRepresent 02/28/18 11:35:10 PM #1:	Its been 25 years since Chris Street set a basketball record for the most scored consecutive free throws. Now, thanks to Jordan Bohannon, Streets name will stay in the history books. Street was a forward player for the Iowa Hawkeyes in 1993. During his last game in his junior season, he scored his 34th consecutive free throw, which set a record at the school. Tragically, Street was never able to extend his record because he died in a car accident three days later. Bohannon, who is a current guard for the Hawkeyes, was given the chance to break that record during the teams match against Northwest. Instead of surpassing Street, however, Bohannon purposefully missed the shot and pointed to the skies in an homage to the deceased player. Until he shorted the shot during this weeks game, Bohannon has not missed a free throw since December, which made him perfect throughout 2018. Not only that, but the Hawkeyes were only leading by 8 points with a little over 2 minutes left on the clock when he missed. Bohannon was still determined to honor the Iowa sports legend. Streets parents, who have season passes, hugged Bohannon after the game and expressed their appreciation over his touching gesture. What a good kid. Hes so kind, Streets mother told media sources. That was so special that he thought of Christopher and that record.

SK8T3R215 posted... hat's dumb you should strive to break records not intentionally fail to keep them in place It's called respect "I'm gonna respect this player by intentionally being bad at the sport." You're not intentionally being bad if you're on par with the greatest record of all time Lmfao you are if you get there then intentionally fail to break it to honor the record. Even the guys dad said he should have broken the record because that's what his son would have wanted. Christopher would want him to do to the best he could do and stay after it. But that was Jordans decision, and if thats what he wanted to do, then we appreciate it, Mike Street said. I told him, Next time, you need to go right on by. I seen that too. Parents were cool with it. Also, the game wasn't exactly wrapped up. Get the record and more importantly the win. Then mention the deceased player to the local sports reporter at the game or something. I'm sure this won't be the most popular opinion on the matter. --- GT: xMythic Go Gators! <cite>xMythic posted [p:896968090] in Basketball...

KainWind 03/01/18 12:24:31 AM #32:	I don't want the guy to regret his decision to honor someone, but that's just silly. You practice your whole life to be as good as you can, and then limit yourself because a certain person died who was also good at the same thing. It's just as easy to say "this record is for you Chris" after he breaks it if he wants to go that route. --- http://i.imgtc.com/pRZqu18C.gif http://i.imgtc.com/jccgiB1G.gif http://i.imgtc.com/WEkU41Yb.gif http://i.imgtc.com/dBcIyU2x.gif <cite>KainWind posted [p:896968203] in Basketball...
