Len Bias

[Gander]

He was spectacular for Maryland. Another one lost to the bad decision of letting drugs take over your life. And people still dont learn.

Sad, sad story. Recreational use can be deadly also!

as a HUGE Celtics fan growing up in the mid 80's, I cried like a baby. He was the best I ever saw at the college level.

I will never forget the game against UNC at UNC. He totally manhandled UNC. He looked like he was toying with them the entire game. Dean Smith had no answers. Man oh Man was he something special.

There is actually a small housing development down here that his family owns. Bias Shores is the name of the joint.

Really that is unreal. Is it pretty nice?

In the story on ESPN Page 2 the writer says he bought a Len Bias Celtic jersey. Man I would love to have one.

My father was a HUGE UK fan. He loved to hate Len Bias but he insists he was the best college player ever.

You read Bill Simmons' column, right? Or was it Scoop's?

Either way, Simmons had a really good inclusion about how Bias' death served as a giant anti-drug, and more to the point, anti-coke ad during the late '80s..

Being a young dude, I didn't have the privilege of being around to see him play, but the story is still astounding to me for the fact that no one's totally positive that Bias even had a drug problem; he just got carried away while partying one night, and POOF - he's gone..

Wild stuff.
