Hank was a loudmouth Philly kid who was one of the best high school basketball players in the city. His rival comes in the form of Bo Kimble, a more serious athlete who doesn't care for Hank's reckless behavior. When the two players get recruited by USC, they eventually become friends. Hank and Bo are not really played much with the USC team, and head to Loyola Marymount, where the two became college sensations. Written by Pat McCurry See less
