I had read that a long time ago but sadly the main reason it was fresh in my mind today was after the Kobe news i looked up the most tragic and shocking athlete deaths to see if anything had ever come close and Bias was high on the list.

Because Butchna and Behr and Jax Vol love me. Most of my likes come from those 3. 😂

And I’m fair and honest. And most importantly, respectful to Tennessee.

If you sent me a check for a hundred grand, gave me a foot massage and pulled me from a burning building my hate for all things gatah would prevent me from giving you a single like. Good day. I said good day.

Len Bias was the best basketball player I ever saw play in college. He would have been better than Jordan. If you don’t know who he is, please YouTube him and his highlights. And he was a great dude. He got drafted and went to a party that night. He had never done drugs and got peer pressured by a friend to do some Coke. It was high grade and he did too much. He had a heart attack and they couldn’t revive him. He would have been held in the same regard that a lot of you youngsters hold Kobe and people my age hold Jordan. It was one of the saddest things I can remember. His mother came and spoke to my high school when I was a senior. I hugged her and I will never forget the aura and power she possessed as a person. This was a tragedy that has obviously been lost to time and obviously been embellished with falsehoods from partial information because people DO THAT in this day and age. Carry on

Cocaine OD the night/morning after he was drafted by the Celtics. Many thought he might of had similar impact as Jordan who was a year or two ahead of him. Bird was so pumped about the Celtics drafting Bias that he was going to go through rookie camp with Bias.

I’d definitely pull you from a burning building. But all those other things, you’re on your own.

He would of kept the Celtics as a championship contender as Bird, Mchale and Parrish got older but No.

Bias likely would have been a perennial All NBA player but Jordan’s mental approach and determination to the game plus his other skills make him the GOAT.
