If life were only a slam dunk, Kevin Restani would still be holding his own on a hardcourt.
But that’s how the ball bounces. For the time being, he’ll have to remain on local legend status, being that he died one year ago this week, a gentle giant with an oversized but weakened heart.
Restani, one of the finest basketball players to ever rise from San Francisco’s streets, wouldn’t have been forgotten any time soon. But his friends are trying to make sure there’s a more permanent tribute to his greatness, one that will also benefit thousands of needy kids like the ones Restani, mentored, coached and inspired.
