34 | Len Bias Documentary

[@kennethholmes6787]

I used to see him in passing classes at Maryland. I was too in awe to speak to him. One day, he spoke to me first! Bias was down to earth. He was friendly, and not full of himself. He carried himself like he was just another student when in fact he was already one on the best players in the world.

Without a doubt, Len Bias would have provided MJ a true rival, the NBA with another superstar and added to the Celtics lore so much that Paul Pierce would not have been able to wear that #34 jersey.

[@Thewu168]

One can only speculate. Money does not change you, it simply makes you more of what you are. Look no further than the Chris washburn drafted after him

[@billj4525]

He probably would have been good, but probably not as good as say the top 5 to 10 players. Statistically it's unlikely he would be a very very top player. Top 10 I think is an accurate realistic guess. Could be better or worse than that though. So many huge stars come and go. EVERYTHING has to go exactly right for someone to be an MJ or a Lebron. They also have to work on their game every single day trying to improve it to get to that level as well. Hype is only a small part of being the best. RIP to Len though, it's really a tragic story.

[@jclemons121384]

I don't know about that. He had the potential to be more Dominique like. He was good, but he still had alot of holes in his game that he would've had to fix to be elite. Not to mention he would've had to stay off the smack, which ruined the bball lives of a lot of those players in that draft class.

[@gregpaspatis9425]

@Servant Leader K Woods Perhaps you may have missed it, but the Boston Celtics had already given out the number #30 to their top draft selection though I'm unable to recall the player from the 1986 NBA championship team who had the #34 Celtics uniform.

I hate when drugs take down anyone, but when they take down someone that's already in the NBA and who had a TON of expected talent it's a sad thing.

So many examples of that these days especially.

[@1cardplayer]

I was 15 when he passed away. Living here in Georgia, i never had the opportunity to watch him in person and so I always wat hed him when he was on t.v. in our area. His story is the most tragic one that I have ever heard of. Its saddening to know that he made it to the NBA but its much more saddening to know that his parents had to experience the death of not only him but his brother as well. My heart goes out to Mr and Mrs Bias in having to experience the death of two kids like they had to. They had to deal with something that no parent should have to deal with, not once, but twice.

[@cordellwise2070]

I played college basketball at a small school in North Carolina. I graduated in 1970 and have seen every NCAA Basketball championship since 1961. From going to school in North Carolina, I became very familiar with ACC basketball. I knew several ACC players who were world class athletes. But never did I witness a player like Len Bias.

Wow, just watched this and so emotional right now. This was my number one basketball hero while I was learning the game myself. I had the worst Asthma attack the hour I found out that he had died. It was as if, a part of me went with him. That’s the only way I know how to explain it. I looked up to his style of play so much, that of course I emulated it as much as I could on the court. I was 19 the day he died, I was serving state time for a few possessions of a controlled substance then. 3 years as a matter of fact, not my proudest moment but that’s my story. I promised myself that when I get out, I will never sell if use drugs ever again. To this day (I’m 56 now of this posting) I have kept my word. Tore my knees up over the years playing basketball on blacktop and concrete courts. I’m just saying that I wanted to give my regards to this man who inspired me with us meeting to do and be better in life and as a person. RIP Len Bias……

When I was 4 we moved to my fathers home town in Ga and my brother and sister (oldest 2) was in college at the university of Maryland this was in 1974 a decade later Lin bias was a star I followed Maryland at my young age and everyone of my classmates were for NC or Duke and Maryland kicked ass. Then when he was picked up with my 2nd favorite team (Celtics) during this time I was the only bird/celtics fan in my 8th grade class it was a beautiful time but as soon as the excitement started my sorrow started. I mourned the loss of Lenny Bias. Talk about a duck in its element the water he made it look easy and when you’re 14 years old you realize what you’re witnessing.

I remember going through the motions for the next couple days. I'm not sure there is no one stronger than Mrs. Bias. She lost two children and went on to become an amazing public speaker. I think Coach Driesell got run over by the administration of Maryland. Was everything perfect with the basketball program? Probably not but Lefty bled red and white. If your over 45 and remember this day, this was your 9 / 11 moment. Scott and Chick - well done.

[@gregpaspatis9425]

@Chris Coccagna I saw my first college (or pro) basketball game at Cole Field House two nights before New Yrs. Eve, Terrapins ran away by more than 30 pts. over the Miami Hurricanes (Miami then discontinued its team for fifteen yrs.) and two months before that during a Halloween Sat. afternoon saw my first college (or pro) football game as the Terrapins lost to Clemson (this was all in the second yr. Driesell was coach). My uncle was a U.S. Capitol police officer in his early 30s at the time and was finishing his undergrad degree at UMD, he got himself basketball season tickets for UMD, part of the best conference-ACC in the nation. When Len Bias was at the half point in college, the athletic boosters demanded more money in addition to the costs of the season tickets, forcing my uncle to give them up for good. Anyway, on the night of the 20th anniv. after Bias died, a woman that had worked in the Terrapins football office for coach Bobby Ross called in to a Baltimore radio station and said Bias was graduated already, the university shouldn't have been blamed for any of the actions that Bias took that night at the party in the athletic dorm.

There are a lot of things we can point to in all our lives that were truly tragic incidents. Basketball being my favorite sport, For me, two that were very pivotal and heart wrenching in sports was the deaths of Len Bias and Kobe Bryant! Out of respect I will certainly mention Mr. Bryant's wonderful daughter as well and those other passengers that accompanied them on that helicopter that fateful day.... Lenny Bias was something *Very Special*❗️ I truly believe if Len had not left us, MJ probably wouldn't have won those 6 Chips! I'm telling y'all, Bias was just that good❗️ Fundamentally sound forward, great quickness, footwork, athleticism with an expert I.Q and understanding of the moment❗️ Boston would have had Parish, McCale, Bird, who were older, but younger thourobreds in Reg Lewis (Also Another Tragic Loss Of Life) and LB❗️ They would have been set up to be the dynasty once again that Bill Russell's squad was....

@Manatee Power Forgiveness is a powerful tool that can make your life alot less stressful and certainly more meaningful. I know I'm not perfect and am in no position to judge anyone, and besides, I have had to be forgiven for some past transgressions so who am I to judge anyone?
