One of my favorite Hawkeye photos ever
Great photo indeed.
Street did so many things well, but there was nothing better than watching him ball hawk the inbound pass during the full court press.

The worst day of my life as an Iowa fan.
In any sport, there are wins and losses.

I read the book “Emotion in Motion “ several weeks ago! His memory definitely lives on!
I remember waking up my Dad to tell him about Chris’s tragic death. It’s certainly in the top 5 of moments of my life that shook me to my core. I was completely crushed by the news.
I will also never forget the MSU game, the frantic and fernetic comeback that seemed beyond impossible. I was at work, watching the game, completely enraptured by the moment. There were hugs shared and the tears flowed freely.
And then, 3 days later, top 5 Michigan came to Carver. I don’t think a single team in America would have beaten Iowa that day. It was the most magical moment, at least to me, in Iowa basketball history. Thank you for the memories, Chris.

I used to have a cassette tape of Zabel's best calls, I think the University sold it? Anyway, I remember the MSU game was on there, and when it finally became clear Iowa would win in OT, Zabel broke down and said something like, "I could almost cry." Think everyone playing/listening/watching felt the same way.
I have some radio files pulled off of Napster years ago of the Michigan game following the death. It’s amazing. Pretty sure Hansen is crying at the end.
This is the only thing I could find. Not sure how well it will link over.

Dam. An incredibly promising life cut short. I don't care if I never saw him play another BB game if I could just see him grow up to be a great man. Nile Kinnick, Chris Street - two great Hawkeye lives ended way too soon.
Some viewing pleasure for your Saturday evening if you’re so inclined. Skip to part 11 if you want to cry immediately.
He was so good, well on his way to being a top NBA pick.
Unstoppable on the glass, and pretty much in the paint.

Horrible loss. I remember I was in 6th grade about to go to sleep, had sportscenter on and Chris' face showed up on there so I turned the volume up. Couldn't sleep that night.
This was one of my favorite BTN Journeys.
This game was actually closer than the final cut made it seem, but I will always remember that May dunk.

That last Gary Close comment gives me chills.
Street went out of his way to sign an autograph for me at his last Black and Gold Blowout (I was a "kid") and I can still picture that genuine smile as he signed my program and patted me on the back before heading out.
It's weird. its been 26 years and seeing threads like this and the videos again still choke me up.
I don't think Tom Davis or Gary Close will ever get over it. It's always going to be hard for them.
I'll never forget. Some wounds never really heal.
Chris Street was a great player, and by all accounts, an even better person.

its crazy; Chris was just 20, about to turn 21.
I think Jordan is 20 or about to turn 21.
Chris would have been just 46 years old today. We will always remember him as that 20 year old kid and wonder "what if" he had made it to age 46.
Mike and Patty Street are a helluva lot stronger than I would have ever been.
