@Airyeeeeezzzy13 He tarnished his own name by the way he died. Nobody else has to do it. The fact of the matter is, Bias was a criminal. He knew better, but still did the imbecilic, evil action. I have never broken the law. I've never sped. I never said that I never drove under the speed limit you imbecile. Unlike driving over the speed limit, driving under it is only an offense if it is directly hazardous do to so. ALL criminals are brainless pieces of sh**.
@gamelvr1 To keep on arguing with you is like arguing with someone who doesn't understand English. I could speak until I was hoarse and you would not understand a word I just said. Being evil and breaking the law are not things that go hand in hand. Yes evil people have committed crimes, but decent people have committed crimes as well. To say that all criminals are evil is very ignorant and to be frank, fucking retarded. You think you are so above everyone with what you are saying, but in the
@Airyeeeeezzzy13 I never once said that I was above everyone else. I sure as heck am a better person then all criminals. Yes, evil and breaking the law DO go hand in hand. While not all laws are on the same level, the worse the crime, the more evil the person is. Bias was a brainless piece of sh**. He could have had a long successful career in the pros. Instead, he threw it all away. He wouldn't have died then if he had any f***ing brains and/or and any morals.
You know who also wore #34 and was also a GREAT athlete with a short rain is certain sports??? Bo Jackson with Baseball and football. Bias and him are both (or were both) INCREDIBLE athletes.
it was the michel jordan curse if bias woda gone to the celts then he woulda gave jordan a run for the title and bird and mchale and bias wouda privailed it wasent meant to be and coulda shoulda woulda but did not do it i respect cocaine is a hell of a drug and what he did that night after the pick was wrong but it was hes fult i love len bias
People seriously need to leave this guy out of the bust discussion. He would be considered a bust only if he lived and ended up sucking in the league, but we never got to see him play pro ball so we'd never know.
@Ginga When the person dies because of his own stupidity shortly after being drafted it was a bust. Just like players who throw away their promising careers for one reason or another, the retard threw away his life
Instead of preaching online, why don't you spread you insensitive bigotry somewhere else, you fucking asshole? The man is dead. You calling him, retard, criminal, moron and evil is just classless.
@Ginga Maybe what I'm saying is a small form of bigotry. The difference is that unlike most forms, it's actually deserved. It's for things that people willingly did, not over issues of race, age, sex, etc...The man may be dead, but that doesn't remove those labels from him. All of them were true. If a rapist dies, do you stop calling him evil or a rapist. Or the recent death of Bin Laden is another fine example. He was a criminal. As such, he deserves no respect, in life or in death.
You're entitled to your bigotry but not everyone sees the world the way you do. Personally, I question Bias' decision to do hard drugs after he was drafted but I'd never call him a "criminal" or "evil" for that.
@Ginga Evil may be a subjective term, but criminal is not. By definition, if a person breaks the law, they are a criminal. No intelligent person could think otherwise. That is a cold hard fact. If you break the law, by definition you are a criminal. Bias broke the law, he was a criminal
@gamelvr1 No. You are one who is delusional. To say all the things that you said after this talented person died way before his time is atrocious. Just because he experimented with drugs gives you no right judge him and to tarnish his name after his death. LIke you have never broken the law before and to say that you never went above or below the speed level is bullshit plain and simple. All this rationalizing that you did after you made a stupid comment just sheds more light on how you cant
@Airyeeeeezzzy13 No criminal ever deserves a shred of respect. The retard caused his own death by his nefarious, moronic actions. A criminal who causes there own death by the crime they committed deserves no respect. Just like drunk drivers who wind up killing themselves because of their evil, brainless actions
@gamelvr1 admit that you are wrong and misspoke. This kid was not evil. A rapist is someone that is evil. This kid was just caught up with the wrong crowd and made a bad decision in his life. Who are we to judge someone like that? You just grow up and realize that everyone has their flaws. Damn. Some people can be fucking assholes. You are my example.
@Airyeeeeezzzy13 While a rapist would be more evil, it doesn't negate bias being evil. If you break the the law, you are evil scum. He had talent on the court, but as a person, he was scum.
@gamelvr1 That is complete nonsense. Just because he dabbled in drugs does not make in evil scum. What determines whether or not a person is evil is a person's ethical sense of right and wrong as well as his character and the way that he treats the people around him. In no way shape or form is this man evil. He broke the law and did drugs. That is his choice and no one should judge him for what he put in his body. Yes, he made a bad decision which led to his tragic demise, but that doesnt
@Airyeeeeezzzy13 ALL criminals are evil. No good person would ever commit a crime. Worse the crime, the more evil the person is. ANY and ALL illegal drug users are are brainless scum. No intelligent or decent person would ever consider doing such acts, much less follow through
@gamelvr1 make him a bad person. To put breaking the law and being evil hand in hand is very ignorant, but again people are entitled to their own opinion be it if it makes no sense.
@Airyeeeeezzzy13 Breaking the law does make him a bad person. Had the man lived, he should have been thrown in jail for a few years. As should ALL illegal drug users. No criminal should ever get off without paying for their crimes. The truly ignorant people on this planet are the educated individuals who know better, but still do idiotic, evil acts. No illegal act is ever justifiable.
If Len and the guys in that room knew that this drug could kill them, then I believe that Len would not have did as much if any at all. They were celebrating and it got out of control once they started feeling Bias' head with you better than Jordan, you playing with Bird, and you will be going up against the LA Lakers in the finals. Sad, Sad story.
I think the death of John Belushi was when people really learned the true dangers of Coke. By 1986 the dangers were well known. Five years earlier would have been a different story. This did shed it even more to light though, yes.
He died the year before I was born. Living in New England my whole life, I never got to see him play.
I was 6 years old when Reggie Lewis collapsed on the court. I will never forget it.
@TRJ22487 true coke was known but len bias did crack cocaine and in 1986 many people were not educated on aids and crack cocaine one of the many reasons why they spread like wildfire plus belushi was a drug addict.len bias never did drugs till he felt invincible going into the pros he was also stated that he might have had an allergic reaction to cocaine which is fatal.
Im sorry, but this is sad, but in reality the man made a decision to take an illegal substance and od'd on that shit. If this was the life he was to lead in the NBA I can't say he would have been one of the greatest ever. He made a choice that not only ruined his career, but took his life. I can't really feel that sorry for the boy.
you obviously dont know nothing about basketball sp why dont yoy shut the fak up u fakinf dummy Len was better yhan MJ and it was thought to ne the best player in the sport yhis was a MAJOR tragedy in sport .Noody is inetersted in your opinion u faking twat
@hehno1 What are you talking about you illiterate mofo. Listen I said that if he hadn't overdosed two days after the draft I don't know how great he would have been. The man was friendly with shady characters who ran a drug ring. Red flags right there. Not my fault he made a choice that fucked up his life and ended in tragedy. Although I can't say it is tragic because the man made a choice to get so out of control with coke. Not my problem and I won't feel sorry for him.
@Hauler24 Oh, so because he happened to take an "illegal" substance that means you don't feel sorry for him. We simply didn't know the dangers of cocaine in 1986 that we do today. In fact, the death of Bias was what changed the whole perception of cocaine. Before that, it was viewed as a recreational drug and after that was when our Government started the war on drugs and went after pablo escobar. The fact that you can't feel sorry for a kid who made a mistake shows that you are an asshole.
@bull864 The man was a criminal who died because of his stupidity. Like hauler24, I don't feel the least bit sorry for him. If he had any brains or decency, he wouldn't have died. No decent or intelligent person would ever commit a crime
@gamelvr1 That may be the dumbest post I've read. No decent or intelligent person would ever commit a crime? So, does someone that speeds deserve to die? What about public intoxication? If you are too stupid to understand my previous posts, then i can't help you.
@bull864 I never said that committing a crime means they deserve to die. The point was, Bias died solely because of the decisions he made. Those decisions involved performing an action that no intelligent person or decent person would ever do. The worse the crime committed, the more horrible culprit is. Regardless, if you break the law, you are moron, and evil. A smart and good person obeys the speed limits. Failing to do so endangers their lives and others
@bull864 Likewise anyone who is guilty of public intoxication are evil morons. The intelligent and right thing to do is put yourself in the position where that would never happen. ALL criminals are brainless scum
@gamelvr1 You're obviously kidding. No person with one iota of intelligence would say such idiotic things. So, if you're driving down the road going 46 in a 45, remember this conversation.
in response to flipper79able...i dont think he died from a coke overdose..i heard he smoked one crack rock and died..the really potent 80's crack from the early days...but still i think he would have been great..sad story..r.i.p. len bias.
WHY WHY WHY.......so much talent.....how much coke could he have done? You have to do a lot of coke to die from it. It doesn't make sense. I miss him.
The death of Len Bias to me was like the death of Elvis to some. Ever since that day I have been afraid to love sports as much as I did when I followed my Terps and the only athlete I have ever idolized, Len Bias. RIP
I was a senior in high school the same year Bias was a senior at Maryland. Me and my Dad used to watch all the regional ACC games on Raycom Sports. We weren't really Maryland fans, but we were huge Bias fans and loved watching him play. I'll never forget the game where he basically beat Carolina by himself in the Dean Dome. Incredible! If anyone has never seen that game, do yourself a favor and check it out. you'll see what a truly great player he was. Virtually unstoppable inside or out.
Man this is really sad watching this....drugs are all evil, they have taken away some of the most amazing people in the world....LB R.I.P. 24 years later R.I.P.
I hate basketball. I think its probably one of the worst professional sports in north america. But I can respect the fact that this young mans dreams came to a tragic and unfortunate end. To work your ass off your entire life, be drafted, and 2 days later take a lethal dose of coke is something that bugs me. It looks like this guy could of been a great player for the sport and its sad that a young man died for making a poor choice so close to achieving what hes worked for all his life.
dude, basketball is probably most popular sport in america today and you're still saying it's worst professional sport in america? or maybe you're speaking how the system runs in NBA or wat?
i teared my eyez out when i turnd da volume off and out of no where on da radio the michale jackson song came out -u are not alone and i miss them both legends dont die I JUST WISH I COULD BRING LENNY BACK :'(
honestly basketball star kid your a retard, it was cocaine it was 98% prue, everyone but his friend said it was his first time on coke, and he didnt know what he was doing so he took to much and his brain got all messed up and he died from cardiac arrest so dont even talk like you know shit ,,,, Dumbass
just by looking at these comments and remembering this time, things have changed for the worst. Back then, ppl didn't make songs with the N word (hey idiots it ain't cool), athletes had a mother AND A father, blacks weren't trying to marry outside of their race and were proud of their black beauty. It was the trash who was the opposite of what I just mentioned who gave him the drugs. End of a Dream, End of Class in Sports.
yea i do feel that all them crackers u name are stupid. all ppl who abuse drugs are stupid. dont u agree?
im not racist, if i was i wouldn't be on dis channel. i called him a nigger because 95% of black ppl use that word on each other if u can cal urself dat y cant i
you aint black boi so dont say nigger or insult another person racist cracker how would you feal if someone just called a person you liked or looked up 2 a cracker
so do you feel River Phoenix, John Belushi & Lane Staley were all stupid crackers??? if you want to get racial I can name many white celebrities that died from drug abuse.
you're just another bored white boy in desperate need of a hug.
I think Len would have been a fantastic pro, a multiple time ALL STAR if he never touched COKE! Great college players dont always become great pros cause they end up playing on the Clippers or the KIngs or the Nets or the Bucks!!!!! Bias was going to the DEFENDING World Champion Celtics. 40-1 at home that year!! Theres no way LEN BIAS would have been a bust had he had a full NBA carrear!!!!!!
@smoothop1000 that's the most idiotic thing i've ever heard. michael jordan went to a crappy team and became the greatest (arguably) ever. most of the hall of famers went to crappy teams straight out of college because that's where the best players usually go. so i don't know where you're getting your theory from but get real.
@FuckUtube2008 Youre right MOST of the Hall of Famers went to crappy teams to start. But so did Sam Bowie, Shawn Bradley and Micheal Olowakandi and you cant tell me theyre in the same category as MJ, Isiah Thomas, David Robinson, etc. Len Bias wasnt gonna start out at the bottom, HE WAS STARTING OUT AT THE TOP!!!! Thats why my theory is legit, cause its very hard to change a losing culture of a franchise if you dont have all the right pieces in place!!!!!
@smoothop1000 dude...all you did was name a few players...how in the world does that in anyway refute the fact that MOST of the good players, as you've acknowledged, go to crappy teams? you can't make a few exceptions the RULE. furthermore, i really don't see what the quality of the team has to do with a player's individual skill. if anything, a talented player is gonna shine more on a crappy team because he won't have a bunch of egos to compete with and will get more playing time.
@FuckUtube2008 The quality of the team doesnt have anything to do with a player's indivudual skill at the start of their carrer, but if that player is STILL losing after 3 or 4 years, playing time dont matter much IF he wants to win. If hes a TRUE great like MJ or KB its about making his teammates better and winning titles, BIAS, would have made Bird, Mchale,Parish and the rest of the Celtics better and vice versa.
He made one mistake, which caused him his life, he had no other drug history and was thankful for what he had, he was the man, Rip man God needed you more then the Celtics.
len bais is the best EVER! there is no way that anyone can compete with him in his prime. Plus he got drafted to who? THE CELTICS!!!! i mean this would of definitely run into the bulls dynasty. No question about it. RIP Len
i appreciate your passion for Len Bias, he was a phenomenal college bball player and probably would have been an amazing pro. unfortunately we were never able to see what the Celtics would have done or what he would have done in the pros, so to call him the best ever is a little bit of a stretch..could have been though
4 any1 2 sit here an disrespect a man who waz as gud as bias yu are dum a crazy he made a big/huge mistake tht cost him hiz lyfe but look at the gud he caused as well he change a community an made alot of ppl want 2 be him he was mo realist then tht fool jordan chargen yu an yur kidz 120 dollaz 4 sum shoes i swear bias would charge tht much bkuz he neva 4 got where he came from an he waz an will alwayz be betta thn jordan in my heart juz no im 17 an i waznt round 4 yu but i play bball an yu
With the way we make up and scrutinize these guys, its hard to say this will never happen again. Seriously these guys dont have that much life experience there still pretty young. I guess will never know how good this guy could have been
R.I.P. Len Bias. He would've been unstoppable with Bird and the Celtics, and won multiple championships. Definitely one of the greatest to ever play in the ACC as well. The steal and backwards dunk on the Holes is still one of the most memorable plays in ACC history. You will never be forgotten!
u fuckin idiots dont say nothin about cris anderson and how he used drugs and recovered bias could of done the same but never got the chance some of u dont know how hard it is to get off drugs when being addicted so if u wanna talk shit bout this young man that could of been a legend why wont u take a look at yourself in the mirror and realize that u will never be perfect.
shut ur mouth i know len biases family i know them very well i see them almost every day and u goin say too bad he killed himself ur heart iz cold u aint perfect i hope his family didnt see ur comment
I had the pleasure to meet len bias in baltimore on a sunday afternoon at the inner harbor. My friends and I noticed him because we played basketball. We stopped just to say hi to him told him we played ball too, but he stayed and sat down on the bench and just kicked it with us for like ten minutes until other people started noticing him . He was a real dude that's why it hurts so much to see this happen to such a cool guy
I can see where folks would compare him to T-Mac, but no way. Think Karl Malone, with a touch of Jordan Skills. Just a shame, and such a sad story for his entire family, with the other issues that arose, and the loss of his brother, so soon after. I just hope there family has found some peace.
Even though Len Bias died, you could draw some positives from this. Many kids watching this were once taking drugs but once he died, we learned that drugs arent the answer. Some people say he was a waste of a talent. I say he was a mentor for the next generation.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Great Drug ADDICT good thing he didn't make it to play any NBA game & did'nt mess the sport of basketball.Why they keep honoring this ADDICT?he's the worst thing to happen in NBA
He certainly was NOT AN ADDICT. Part of the reason he died was because of the rush from doing the drug both your first and second time. Doing this drug was just a mistake Bias made, a very unfortunate one, as he was a GREAT all-around person. Never controversial, never in disputes with the law. Just a good man, who made a mistake like both you and I.
Dean SMith said there were 2 players in the ACC that were the best he had ever seen: Michael Jordan and Len Bias. Imagine T-Mac, in the 80s/90s with the Celtics. thats the player that, i think, many NBA fans could compare with Len Bias: a T-Mac-esque player, or T-Mac being a Len Bias-esque player. either way, a great talent that never got to be...RIP LB

Im sorry, but this is sad, but in reality the man made a decision to take an illegal substance and od'd on that shit. If this was the life he was to lead in the NBA I can't say he would have been one of the greatest ever. He made a choice that not only ruined his career, but took his life. I can't really feel that sorry for the boy.

@hehno1 What are you talking about you illiterate mofo. Listen I said that if he hadn't overdosed two days after the draft I don't know how great he would have been. The man was friendly with shady characters who ran a drug ring. Red flags right there. Not my fault he made a choice that fucked up his life and ended in tragedy. Although I can't say it is tragic because the man made a choice to get so out of control with coke. Not my problem and I won't feel sorry for him.

@Hauler24 Oh, so because he happened to take an "illegal" substance that means you don't feel sorry for him. We simply didn't know the dangers of cocaine in 1986 that we do today. In fact, the death of Bias was what changed the whole perception of cocaine. Before that, it was viewed as a recreational drug and after that was when our Government started the war on drugs and went after pablo escobar. The fact that you can't feel sorry for a kid who made a mistake shows that you are an asshole.

@bull864 The man was a criminal who died because of his stupidity. Like hauler24, I don't feel the least bit sorry for him. If he had any brains or decency, he wouldn't have died. No decent or intelligent person would ever commit a crime

@gamelvr1 That may be the dumbest post I've read. No decent or intelligent person would ever commit a crime? So, does someone that speeds deserve to die? What about public intoxication? If you are too stupid to understand my previous posts, then i can't help you.
bull864 7 months ago
@bull864 I never said that committing a crime means they deserve to die. The point was, Bias died solely because of the decisions he made. Those decisions involved performing an action that no intelligent person or decent person would ever do. The worse the crime committed, the more horrible culprit is. Regardless, if you break the law, you are moron, and evil. A smart and good person obeys the speed limits. Failing to do so endangers their lives and others

@bull864 Likewise anyone who is guilty of public intoxication are evil morons. The intelligent and right thing to do is put yourself in the position where that would never happen. ALL criminals are brainless scum

I was a senior in high school the same year Bias was a senior at Maryland. Me and my Dad used to watch all the regional ACC games on Raycom Sports. We weren't really Maryland fans, but we were huge Bias fans and loved watching him play. I'll never forget the game where he basically beat Carolina by himself in the Dean Dome. Incredible! If anyone has never seen that game, do yourself a favor and check it out. you'll see what a truly great player he was. Virtually unstoppable inside or out.

I hate basketball. I think its probably one of the worst professional sports in north america. But I can respect the fact that this young mans dreams came to a tragic and unfortunate end. To work your ass off your entire life, be drafted, and 2 days later take a lethal dose of coke is something that bugs me. It looks like this guy could of been a great player for the sport and its sad that a young man died for making a poor choice so close to achieving what hes worked for all his life.

Great college players dont always become great pros cause they end up playing on the Clippers or the KIngs or the Nets or the Bucks!!!!!

@smoothop1000 that's the most idiotic thing i've ever heard. michael jordan went to a crappy team and became the greatest (arguably) ever. most of the hall of famers went to crappy teams straight out of college because that's where the best players usually go. so i don't know where you're getting your theory from but get real.
FuckUtube2008 1 year ago
@FuckUtube2008 Youre right MOST of the Hall of Famers went to crappy teams to start. But so did Sam Bowie, Shawn Bradley and Micheal Olowakandi and you cant tell me theyre in the same category as MJ, Isiah Thomas, David Robinson, etc. Len Bias wasnt gonna start out at the bottom, HE WAS STARTING OUT AT THE TOP!!!! Thats why my theory is legit, cause its very hard to change a losing culture of a franchise if you dont have all the right pieces in place!!!!!
smoothop1000 1 year ago
@smoothop1000 dude...all you did was name a few players...how in the world does that in anyway refute the fact that MOST of the good players, as you've acknowledged, go to crappy teams? you can't make a few exceptions the RULE. furthermore, i really don't see what the quality of the team has to do with a player's individual skill. if anything, a talented player is gonna shine more on a crappy team because he won't have a bunch of egos to compete with and will get more playing time.
FuckUtube2008 1 year ago
@FuckUtube2008 The quality of the team doesnt have anything to do with a player's indivudual skill at the start of their carrer, but if that player is STILL losing after 3 or 4 years, playing time dont matter much IF he wants to win. If hes a TRUE great like MJ or KB its about making his teammates better and winning titles, BIAS, would have made Bird, Mchale,Parish and the rest of the Celtics better and vice versa.

I had the pleasure to meet len bias in baltimore on a sunday afternoon at the inner harbor. My friends and I noticed him because we played basketball. We stopped just to say hi to him told him we played ball too, but he stayed and sat down on the bench and just kicked it with us for like ten minutes until other people started noticing him . He was a real dude that's why it hurts so much to see this happen to such a cool guy

I can see where folks would compare him to T-Mac, but no way. Think Karl Malone, with a touch of Jordan Skills. Just a shame, and such a sad story for his entire family, with the other issues that arose, and the loss of his brother, so soon after. I just hope there family has found some peace.

Even though Len Bias died, you could draw some positives from this. Many kids watching this were once taking drugs but once he died, we learned that drugs arent the answer. Some people say he was a waste of a talent. I say he was a mentor for the next generation.

He certainly was NOT AN ADDICT. Part of the reason he died was because of the rush from doing the drug both your first and second time. Doing this drug was just a mistake Bias made, a very unfortunate one, as he was a GREAT all-around person. Never controversial, never in disputes with the law. Just a good man, who made a mistake like both you and I.
