Dang.

Lorenzo Charles, who had the game-winning dunk to beat Houston in NC State's improbable title win in 1983, was killed driving a bus:

Former North Carolina State basketball star Lorenzo Charles, the muscular forward whose last-second dunk gave the underdog Wolfpack the 1983 national collegiate championship, was killed Monday when a bus he was driving crashed, a company official said Monday.

Charles' dunk gave us the best-ever championship game finish, was probably the biggest upset for the final until Villanova's even MORE improbable win two years later AND unleashed Jimmy V on the world (although I was probably at the time still curled up like a ball crying over them ending Ralph's career at UVa.) I still say there should be an HBO doc on that team.

Side note: Why was Lo Charles driving a bus?  I'd think that if you hit the game-winning shot for an NCAA championship game, the school would pay you $100k/year just to hang around.  Wtf?
