RAP and RIP= What?

[DOPESIKCEO]

Good montage. Tupac was garbage though. Glad he's dead.

[BZOE]

@DOPESIKCEO Dude...thats sick. How could you say such a thing? Who cares if Tupac was good or not, he's still human. You sound heartless.

[xXR4sTaXxOnCA]

@hatetheworld04 HE'S NOT DEAD

[hatetheworld04]

@bigjoe23465 now he is..

[dre777rap]

bias was turning into a monster, and I think he would have been awesome, but you can never tell, and we'll never know. too sad

[SolidSnake061390]

ok I respect Len Bias but for in my opinion, MJ is still the best even if he play in the NBA. Like what we see, Bias is great in college. He average more pts and rebounds than MJ. But did he carry Maryland to win a title? Ok you will say that MJ did not do it by himself, but MJ does it in 1982. MJ is a team player that what greatness is. Even in the NBA, no can win a title without the help. So I think, Len will be another David or Patrick. But not over MJ.

[tse93s]

@SolidSnake061390 I can see your point but also if you look at the top college ball players ever MJ is way down there... one of them but down there.. Len was growing into a monster he would have been greater in my opinion.. BUT THEN AGAIN, look at Reggie bush.. we will never know...

[dre777rap]

@SolidSnake061390 Jordan didn't get unc to the title in 82. no way. He was a good freshmen, but you've got Worthy, Perkins, and others who led the way. yes Jordan hit the shot, but that was the beginning for him. If he was that great a college player they would have at least played in the national championship his next 2 years and should have won one with the cast. Saying that, Jordan most likely would be the best nba even if bias played, but it would have been neat to see those two.

[MrPeterson2010]

[j1a1k1e2]

R.I.P Bias

[mjstopper23]

yo malik sealys son is a good friend of mine and i didnt even know that kg was his dads best friend and in KGs new shoes he wrote 2MALIK on the tongue which was pretty nice

[magicboy67]

Bias was drafted into the NBA....Gathers died while in college so these two were not NBA players...They surely would have been though. Nice job.

[mikeareal]

Well done my friend...

[mjmck88]

damn good choice of song. so many tears

[celtic18rings]

Yo bobbymarsh, Len Bias @ that time of their careers was beter than Jordan on a team with less talent all you have do is ask MJ himself, the person he hated to play in college was Len Bias point blank & period.............

[bobbymarsh1]

hey celtic 18rings is that why MJ smoked his ass when they played Maryland. You can say what you want but aint no two feet jumper with limited shooting range and ball handling better than Jordan. I quote knight and coach K he was the best. therefore what you say means shit.

[skicks1995]

Dude calm down man.  The two of them were different players. They had different strengths and weaknesses. There are also other things to consider. Len Bias didn't have the opportunity to prove himself in the NBA. Although it's a pretty small chance that Bias would've been as successful as Jordan, it was still possible. To tell you the truth, with Gathers being invincible in college, he might've been a better player than MJ.

[celtic18rings]

tuzwol Bias didnt go no. 1, in 86....Brad daugherty went #1, Len #2 , Chris Washburn #3 Chuck person #4 & Kenny "sky" Walkker #5 But ur right about everything else

[celtic18rings]

Yo RIP To all those in this clip. esp. my man Len I used to play pick-up games wit Lenny back in late70's early 80's @ palmer park rec & kentland rec in Md, He was truly a gift to us all . I'm a die-hard Celtics fan & that year Lenny was drafted I had my son,1-5-86, I was drafted by Mich for baseball My Celts, & Mets won championships & Lenny was dratfed by my Celtics....all that in 1 year......& then he was gone & My life truly took a turn. You are always missed R.I.P. LB

[Essince]

thanks for making this. RIP

[nomi4lyfe]

wat bout jason collier drazen petrovic malik sealy

[TheRatedIX7]

and Bobby Phills too.

[cambyman21]

Malik Sealy!!

[bobbymarsh1]

people getting on here making ridiculous claims that bias was better than mj. you better chk my comments before you reply. he was said to be the next jordan therefore mike already had reached a level beyond his peers.

[tuzwol]

Aint nobody making ridiculous claims,I said at that time he was arguably better. At that time no one said he would be the next Jordan

[bobbymarsh1]

if you don't have proof such as stats and hardware then the claims you are making are baseless. You and anyone else that gets on here need to get it straight! How many first teams did Bias make? Bias was turnover prone. Get the hell outta here.

[tuzwol]

We have college stats, we are talking at the time when they were in college. My claims arent baseless, but yours are. Michael wasnt always the best thats why he was the third pick in the draft, he didnt develop a jumper until he reached the nba and he also improved his passing game and defense while in the nba. Len Bias was arguably better in college. jordan had no jumper in college. So you get the hell outta here. Jordan is the best player of his era, but in college he wasnt the best yet

[bobbymarsh1]

like i said before scroll the fuck up and check the stats. He was better than jordan but won 1 Acc player of the year award, Jordan won college player of the year how many times? Jordan led the ncaa in 3pt % but he had no jumper. Dont make yourself look stupid. he was so much better but where are the damn awards?????

[tuzwol]

Calm the fuck down. You can have a 3pt shot and not have a jumper. Look in the NBA many guys shoot like 40% from the field but 34% from 3 point line. Jordan didnt have a jumper or mid range shot whichever you can comprehend. Dont make yourself look stupid. Awards dont mean much,because you can win MVP of the league and not be the best player in the game. No one said he was so much better, we're saying that he was better. Bias had a jumper which made him more dangerous than Jordan at the time

[thahoodnigga]

no let me tell you,,sir your ridiculous dumie he was never said to be the next jordon in collage when they played ball they said he was better then jordon so get ur ffake fact straight len bias was better whetier u like it or not point said

[bobbymarsh1]

first off dumbass learn to spell. Then scroll up and check the stat comparisons, then check the college awards and hardware. So next time check your damn facts!!!!

[Thabest504]

r.i.p 2 all of em but hank gathers didnt make it 2 tha nba

[neoellinas]

Morbid as it may sound, does anyone have a clip from the game where Reggie Lewis collapsed? It was in the opening game of the playoffs vs. the Hornets in 1993 and I believe it was an NBC game.

[DaWiZ199]

Great vid.

R.I.P. Hank Gathers, Reggie Lewis, Eddie Griffin and Len Bias.

[pitbull713281]

collier

[pitbull713281]

U forgot Jason Coliier.

[michduncanhbk]

R.I.P Hank Gather, Reggie Lewis, Len Bias, Eddie Griffin the good die young

[bobbymarsh1]

I doubt worthy said that but if he did. He only played 1 yr with him. Bias was so great how many naismith awards did he win? How many wooden awards? college player of the yr awards? bias had limited driving ability, jumped off two feet and was turnover prone. Bias was said to be the next Jordan not better than Jordan!

[tuzwol]

Bias never got the chance to prove himself.Bias played within a system too.Even Worthy said that Jordan wasnt the best at that time.Thats why Jordan was the third pick,because he wasnt considered the best whereas Len Bias was the second pick. When they were in college Bias was the better baller,thats no disrespect to Jordan,but facts are facts.

[bobbymarsh1]

worthy played 1 yr with MJ. So what would he knw and I doubt he said that with the games he helped them win that yr. Draft is based on need that's y he went third! Jordan won the naismith award how many years? 2 out of 3! So how fukn great was he?????

[bobbymarsh1]

college stat wise MJ had better numbers than Bias. Len Bias was said to be the next Jordan. He was more in line with kenny walker they had similar numbers and were similar style and build bias jus had a better mid range jumper. but on MJ level Never!!!

[Mistuhbig]

We don't know how good Bias would have been or if he would have been good as Jordan. Bias was stronger (hold his position in the post) than Kenny Walker, a better shooter and could put it on the floor. Walker played center his senior year and scored a lot of points against guys his size or smaller. In the NBA, he could not adjust. Bias already had the small foward skills. He is one of the few players who can jump that high and consistently hit jump shots.

[blade4hero]

Before Paul Pierce there was Len Bias. I think Bias would have had his #34 retired for the Celtics long before Pierce even came on the scene in 1998 had he actually played for them and had a long career with the team. He and Reggie Lewis likely would have extended their winning tradition long before Antoine Walker or KG came to the team too had they not died.

[bobbymarsh1]

on draft day bias was chose the number 30. so he wouldnt have even worn 34.

[bladingpro]

R.I.P Len Bias one of the greats in college. People and players say that if he were to play he would of have been one of the greatest and even better than Jordan. Mike the coach of Duke said it himself that he was better than MJ he was stronger than MJ and had the same talent.

[bobbymarsh1]

they played two diffferent positions and to me bias wasnt better than worthy! who knows what wouldve happened had he made it. I don't deal with if's . he was great in college as many others some made it some didnt thats the reality of it. May he R.I.P

[bladingpro]

Bias was 6'7 to Jordans 6'6 and had the same attributes, handles, shot, and basically was a stronger Jordan as COACHES AND PLAYERS SAID. Im just stating what they said about him.

[bobbymarsh1]

I grew up watching a great deal of carolina games along with maryland. Len Bias didnt have the handles that jordan had and wasnt as creative. The only thing that held jordan back was dean. Dean didnt like flamboyant dunks and such things bias got away with with lefty. bias had to be stonger at his position but jordan was faster. but bias couldv been great better than mj? don't know

[bladingpro]

Im just saying what coaches and players said. And I wacthed Maryland vs Carolina and Maryland blew them out.

[bobbymarsh1]

Jordan played within a system and in that system no man is bigger than the team. Bias was a great college player but sometimes that doesnt trancend to the next level. I can go quote coaches too like coach knight that said that jordan was the best he'd ever seen, but I don't. lets leave it at that. dont know what game you were watching? and bias matched up with big game james. bias had no chance

[bladingpro]

It was in 84 just type in Maryland vs North Carolina.

[tuzwol]

And I know Jordan was in the 84 draft

And I know Bias was in the 85 draft

[westsidenasfan]

Actually Bias was in the 86 draft

[bobbymarsh1]

bias was 6'8. Jordan shot the 16-18 foot jumpshot bias was a little bit further out however jordan led the ACC in 3pt percentage his last year. Bias' competition wouldv been alot harder on him than Jordan's. Y didnt he make the 84 Olympic team.

[bladingpro]

He died in 84

[bobbymarsh1]

no he died the year he was drafted 1986!!! You dont know diddly squat do you? first you tell me maryland blew UNC out and it was vice versa, now you tellin me 84 was when he died.you must be young!

[bobbymarsh1]

let me put an end to this bias is better claim! Bias was said to be the next Jordan. jordan 82 ppg.13.5 bias ppg. 7.2 Jordan 83 ppg.20.0 bias ppg.15.3 jordan 84 ppg. 19.6 bias ppg. 18.9

STL mj 82-1.2 83-2.2 83-1.6 bias 82-0.3 83-0.4 84-0.9 FG mj 84-55.1 bias 84-52.8. Bias was mid range jordan led Acc in 3pt% Jordan college player of year in 83 & 84 won woodan and naismith in 1984, 83& 84 first team.

[RicIsGod]

You kidding me Jordan played with stars at UNC(like kenny smith at pg), Bias played with Brian Tribble..f-en bums that werent even recruited by UNC..terrible comparison

[bobbymarsh1]

played with kenny 1yr. u need to chk who was on jordans team those years and bias had adrian branch who was a great college player.

[tuzwol]

I agree,Bias was incredible,I'm a Jordan fan but you have to be honest.Bias was considered better at this time,thats why he went number 1 in the draft.Some Jordan fans wont admit that Len Bias was better than MJ,and they make excuses,but the bottomline is Bias was better and at the time Olajuwon was considered better also,so was Sam Bowie.Its not a knock on Jordan its just the reality of the situation.

[tuzwol]

My fault Bias was the number 2 pick

[bobbymarsh1]

you get on here making dumb ass remarks. Olajuwon was a beast because he blocked alot of shots offensively no. Bowie came off a fukn injury dude how the hell was he better?Missed alot of games that year. it was based on need! stay off the internet when your mother leaves home

[tuzwol]

Stop sucking MJ's dic. You are getting tight over nothing. You're making dumb ass remarks and making yourself look dumb. Bowie was better in college thats why he was drafted no.1. He sucked in the NBA though, but not in college. Look lets get off moms because I just got off yours

[tuzwol]

Olajuwon shot over 60% from the field, he could score, rebound, and block shots

Bowie shot over 50% from the field and he could score and rebound and block shots

[tuzwol]

at the time Bias was better than Jordan,he was regarded as better when they were in college,give the man his props

[bobbymarsh1]

u make these claims yet bias awards were? exactly. Bias wasnt in his league and jordan got the hardware in college to prove it.

[tuzwol]

Awards are irrelevant,stop taking this personal. Bias was in his league. Jordan played on a better team. Bias was the #2 pick in his draft and Jordan was the #3 pick

[twistoffate111]

Jordan was the 5th pick

[HeadlessEye]

Nope, #3.

[bobbymarsh1]

if anyone is gonna tell me Bias was better then I'm gonna prove them wrong. You say its personal I say its facts. Bias was a baseline player, back to basket player. he had a few moves but none like MJ. Bias was no Jordan and his college hardware proves it.

[bobbymarsh1]

dude you aint even worth a comment.

[tuzwol]

Jordan's best year - 20ppg & 5reb

Bias best year - 23ppg & 7reb

Like I said asshole Bias was better and he had a jumpshot to back it up, watch Jordan in college, not Jordan in the NBA, but the Jordan in college

[QuiteSpyrtY]

drazen petrovic was one of best nba players ever? died in car accident... but i cant see him... btw rip from slovenia

[pepperkorn3]

Why did eddie griffen

[diddy33]

car accident.

[blade4hero]

Same with Bobby Phills and Malik Sealy in 2000.

[samsbro1952]

very sweet man

[Frazynut]

Len Bias tried cocaine for the FIRST time at a party, and it cause a reaction because of his heart condition. But had he been a drug addict, would his life be less valuable? If you want to be mad at someone, be mad at coach Lefty, who supposedly partied hard with his players back then.

[BatmanINDY]

So wait, you're putting good guys like Gathers and Lewis in a tribute video, but then including Len Bias who caused his own death in there too? Bias was a coke-head, nothing more. He knowingly threw his entire life away. To put him side by side with Lewis and Gathers is an insult to them. Not to mention that Gathers never made it to the NBA, or that you missed out on real deserving players like Petrovic.

[BridgeportIPA]

You're wrong, Len Bias had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - a condition which causes the heart muscle to thicken, making it harder to pump blood. You don't know what you're saying.

[BatmanINDY]

Wrong, Len Bias died of a coaine overdose which caused a cardiac arrhytmia. He threw his life away. Lewis is the player who died of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, not Bias. The official cause of death for Bias was cardiac arrest brought on by cocaine usage. You're absolutely, 100% wrong

[McCainIsOld]

No one deserves to die.

[zipper2k8]

Hitler? It isnt that no-one deserves to die, we're all gonna pass sometime but how someone dies is the important factor.

[322016]

u can tell that the person who made this video is a great guy and like boomsus said its a nice video and its good to see that someone cares

[joncuesta95]

[mrceleb2006]

Neither Hank Gathers nor Len Bias had a chance to play in the NBA; the former wasn't drafted, but the latter was drafted by the Boston Celtics, who won their 1st NBA championship title in 22 years.
