The Lenny Bias fatality still haunts me 2 this day.

He dabbled in coke for a few years. In that draft it was known Chris Washburn and Roy Tarpley also were coke users they were drafted early as well. When you do that kinda stuff you're just a ticking time bomb.

@@bnegs521 I'm very well aware of THAT!!!!! Regardless; still tragic (albeit self-inflicted).

@billybandyk0720 No doubt. I think in part his story lives on because he was drafted by the Boston Celtics and Bias dying impacted the biggest rivalry in the NBA. Had the Celtics drafted Chuck Person who went 4 to Indiana like many in the organization wanted it would be interesting to see how things would have turned out.
