Bo Kimble NBA

Later that year, Kimble was selected by the Los Angeles Clippers with the 8th overall pick of the 1990 NBA Draft. At the time, the Clippers were playing in the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena, Bo played with the Gathers, while still at USC. As a rookie, he averaged 6.9 points per game and for his career averaged 5.5 points per game while mostly sitting on the end of the bench.

In 2015, Kimble revealed that getting very little playing time despite his ability while the Clippers floundered drove him to consider suicide several times. His NBA career was plagued by injuries. In the summer of 1992, Kimble was traded to the New York Knicks as part of a three-team, a six-player deal that brought Mark Jackson to the Clippers.

Bo Kimble College USC

Both Gathers and Kimble were recruited to the University of Southern California by Head Coach Stan Morrison and his top assistant, David Spencer. They were joined by high school All-American, Tom Lewis, and Rich Grande as the “Four Freshmen” star recruiting class. Following an 11-17 season coaching USC, Morrison and Spencer were fired after the 1985-86 season was over, despite winning the Pac-10 the previous year.

It was reported that the players would not remain unless certain conditions were met, including having a say in the next coaching staff. George Raveling was hired by USC as the next head coach of the Trojans. Raveling gave the players a deadline to respond to whether they would remain on the team. When they did not respond, he revoked the scholarships of Gathers, Kimble, and Lewis.

Raveling’s controversial statement was, “You can’t let the Indians run the reservation.” “You’ve got to be strong, too. Sometimes you have to tell them that they have to exit,” he said. Kimble and Gathers transferred together from USC to Loyola Marymount. Lewis transferred to Pepperdine. Grande remained at USC.

Bo Kimble Loyola Marymount

After sitting out the 1986–87 season as required under NCAA rules for transfer students, the pair became the centerpiece of arguably the most entertaining college team in history. LMU’s then-coach Paul Westhead installed an extraordinarily fast-paced game plan.

On offense, the Lions typically took shots within 10 seconds of gaining possession, with many of the shots being three-pointers. The Lions’ defense was a full-court press designed to force opponents into a frenzied up-and-down game.

He led the nation in scoring in 1990 averaging 35.3 points per game, and he was also a consensus second-team All-American selection that year. Kimble’s teams led Division I in scoring in 1988 (110.3 points per game), 1989 (112.5), and 1990 (122.4). LMU’s 122.4 points per game in 1990 was still a record as of March 2019.

In October 2010, Loyola Marymount held the five highest combined score games in Division I history. Four of the five occurred during Kimble’s career, including a record 331 in the 181–150 win over United States International University on January 31, 1989.

Bo Kimble Paul Westhead

Bo Kimble is a close friend to Paul Westhead who is an American basketball coach who most recently was the head coach of the University of Oregon women’s team. In his first year as an NBA head coach, he led a rookie Magic Johnson and the Los Angeles Lakers to the 1980 NBA Title.

He has also been the head coach for three National Basketball Association (NBA) teams and an assistant for four others and has also coached in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA), American Basketball Association (ABA) and Japan Basketball League (JBL).

Bo Kimble Tribute to Hank Gathers

Bo Kimble of Loyola Marymount (LMU) shoots a left-handed free throw in the 1990 first round of the NCAA tournament in Long Beach, CA as a tribute to his friend and teammate Hank Gathers. This is widely regarded as one of the most memorable moments in NCAA tournament history. I lost a friend, teammate, and brother, but the world lost an extraordinary human being and a kind spirit.

Unexpectedly. Abruptly. Too soon. Hank and I didn’t want to leave. We loved USC. But when we learned about the uptempo offense coach Paul Westhead was running at Loyola Marymount, it felt like a perfect fit for us. Running the floor coast-to-coast, lots of touches, lots of shots it was a dream offense.

In high school, it was tough playing with Hank. We were very competitive with each other and there wasn’t always enough the basketball to go around. It was hard for us to share. So when Hank decided to play college ball at the University of Southern California, I was looking to go anywhere but there. Wherever Hank Gathers was, I wanted to go somewhere else.

Bo Kimble Contract

He agreed to a five-year contract, worth $1.45 million a year with Los Angeles Clippers. Kimble had an agreement in principle with the Clippers means that the former Loyola Marymount scoring star could make it in for the second day of training camp at Cal Poly Pomona, but the deal also took only a week to complete. By Clipper standards, that’s the speed of sound.

It was the Clippers who held off until last Friday before making their first offer, waiting to see what pick No. 7, Lionel Simmons of Sacramento, and No. 9, Willie Burton of Miami, would get. Upon seeing they received an average of $1.4 million and $1.25 million annually, respectively, the Clippers offered Kimble, No. 8, $1.34 million over six seasons.

The Clippers came back with a $1.4 million-per average but considered the matters of early free agency, appearance money, a loan, and signing bonus non-negotiable. They also held firm on having some of the money deferred. When Armato got an extra $50,000 a season and incentive clauses for Kimble being named rookie of the year, an all-star, or All-NBA, among others, the deal was done, needing only signatures and a player physical to make it official.

Bo Kimble Hank Gathers’s death

During the West Coast Conference Basketball tournament, Gathers collapsed and died of a heart condition in LMU’s semifinal against Portland. As a result of Gathers’s death, the 1990 WCC tournament was suspended, and Loyola Marymount was given the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament (as a #11 seed) due to their regular-season championship.

During LMU’s subsequent run to the Elite Eight, Kimble (who was right-handed), Gathers’s best friend and teammate, shot his first free throw of each game left-handed in memory of Gathers (although right-handed, he struggled so much with free throws that he tried shooting them left-handed for a time), making all three attempts (Kimble did not have any free-throw attempts in the Sweet 16 win over Alabama).

On January 29, 2005, members of Gathers’s 1989–90 team, including Kimble, were inducted into the Loyola Marymount Hall of Fame during halftime of a 63–46 win over cross-town rival Pepperdine.

Bo Kimble Now

He runs the “44 for Life” heart disease awareness foundation named after the jersey number of LMU teammate Hank Gathers, who died of a heart condition during the 1989-90 season. Kimble recently has tried breaking into coaching.
