From NBA Champion To a 10 Year Prison Sentence! William Bedford Stunted Growth

- When you talk about the most unfortunate NBA drafts, you have to include 1986. In fact I don’t think there is one that had a worse outcome from it’s top players, all touted as future stars and even game changing generational talents. William Bedford was the 6th overall pick in the 86 draft, a 7’ center that left after his junior year in college and expected to be the next great big man of his time. At least with Phoenix’ only pick in the first round that’s what they hoped. He was selected before 5 all stars and 3 hall of famers, one of 3 7 footers in the top 10, the only underclassmen along with Chris Washburn who too flamed out the league as a result of a cocaine problem. Bedford’s career is filled with promises unfulfilled, being first injured, tearing his acl early in his career, then underperforming with the Suns and traded after just his rookie season, to a garbage time role with the Detroit Pistons in their glory days as the Bad Boy Pistons, being on the team for their first championship, but opening the entire year in rehab. The next year he’d actually be on the team when they won back to back in 1990, playing in 5 games for a total of 3.8 minutes. He was out the league at just 29 years old, still wanting to live a lavish life, and became a drug dealer, doing and selling weed and cocaine, eventually getting caught in Michigan transporting over 25 pounds of weed, along with a few more arrest for drug possession, finally given a 121 month prison sentence he didn’t even realize he had gotten until he got back to his cell and added up the months. 10 years in the feds. He did 9 and change, now living as a food truck driver and convicted felon. From NBA Champion To a 10 Year Prison Sentence! William Bedford Stunted Growth

One of the many tragic stories of the 1986 NBA draft, William Bedford's habits caught up to him and cost him his potential. Good to see he's doing much better now, owning his own business and living a more productive life. But man... the 80s was something else!
Roy Tarpley.....Chris Washburn too
Can you do Joey Dorsey stunned growth?
I once work with William Bedford with the city of memphis. Dude was a gentle giant and was funny.
I just bought a food truck. And I’m a convicted felon for a non-violent crime. I’m not gonna let anything stop me.
Keep that spirit bruh. Respect 💪🏾
And I’m gonna support your business on Riverport off Malory if you ever come through again… mane( big brother)… your wings are off da chain. Nothing but love and respect for my Memphis warriors 🤙🏾
As Stunted Growth knows, I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American and male. I remember that William Bedford had talent, but many off-court problems. In the summer of 1992, Shawn Kemp put on a "Shawn Kemp Classic" at The Coliseum (our home court, at the time). They put the box score in the newspaper the next day. William Bedford hit more than a couple of three-pointers! I also saw that Blazers then-rookie Tracy Murray made a bunch of three-pointers in the game, which got me very excited.
I remember he worked at UPS in Memphis for a period of time. Always heard good things about him.
That 1985 Memphis State squad was crazy though! They made it all the way to the final 4 and got beat by the champions..Villanova.
My brother was close with Andre Turn**, and was told they were high as a kite 🪁. And that was the reason they lost. Idk, on paper they should have won and that’s what everyone expected. But Villanova took out the favorites, Georgetown. 🤷🏾♂️
@@ghost5207 That's a good story..I believe it!! 💯
Your channel is clearly one of the best RUclips channels .
Do one for Patrick McCaw, Jerry West’s golden boy that said teams would be “sorry they didn’t take him” played 2 seasons with lack of PT with GS and ghosted the team to get more PT only to go to Toronto with not much more PT and been out of the league since 2021, not to mention deported recently in Belgium.
He the only individual to 3 peat
@@Kil000999 Jordan’s three peat.
@@DMalltheway it was a team. Pat did it alone. 2 with GSW then that one with CLE
@@Kil000999 CLE?
@@DMalltheway yes. He played in CLE when Lebron won his title there
cocaine is a helluva drug
Love your videos man. You should do one on Jay Edwards.
wow didn't know Bedford played for Memphis State. Memphis had some great players and programs in the 70s 80s and early 90s
Jerome Harmon. Ever heard of him? A McDonald's All-American back when being such really meant something.
Great vid my guy! Waiting on you to do one on several players.
Stacey Augmon
Terry Dehere
Damon Flint
Ricky Price
Terry Dehere was neither here nor there.
Was big east player of year and was at the time conference all time scoring leader. Not a bad career
@@Major613 Give me props for the wordplay though
I thought Augmon was going to be the next Dominique.
Always great vids/mini-docs. I just took a look at that 1986 draft and it's amazing how many really good players were in the second round that year. Would be interesting to see a re-draft vid of that class.
Appreciate all the great content! I think Josh Jackson would be a good video
His height must’ve made it incredibly hard to fit & live in a tiny prison cell.
It did,bad decisions lead to bad results,illegal decisions lead to jail.But,I'm sure Bedford learned this hard lesson,he's out of prison having his own business and enjoying his freedom.
He got over sentenced. 10 years for weed
Bedford intended to stay at Memphis St all 4 yeard, but him and head coach at the Dana Kirk got caught point shaving, dude was doom from the start smh tragic
My pops was on that same draft
Who?
?
How about this one? Marcus Liberty. The next would be Golden Boy from Chicago since Ben Wilson.
Good point..Chicago
Every game in college he was high🤣
Brad Daughtery the nerd of that Draft.
Man that whole suns roster was coking it up lol
Do Keith Lee next?
I watched Lenny Bias at the UM games and thought he was even more explosive than MJ
Being 7 foot in prison had to suck even worse. Probably had his whole knee hanging off the bunk
Do a Jordan Poole stunted growth because of Draymond Green knocking the “respect of opposing players” out of his career. Turned that man into Rodney Dangerfield 😂
Weed is not a gate way drug, I know people who smoked weed for decades and never tried coke or anything else. It’s a personality thing.
Them fed sentences be real.
300-400 months + is when it's real real.
The question JC is did Bias curse the whole draft in 86😊
Len Bias only has himself to blame though. So saying he “never had a chance” is wrong. He had his chance and made really bad decisions.
Do my boy from Kansas Frank Mason
A 7ft drug dealer, not hard to man smh
Too bad bias died from that junk before he could tear Jordan a new one!! I think he definitely would have won a few chips and probably better than Jordan,my opinion though.
I used to like your channel but you focus too much on the negative! Like you saying subliminally if given the chance you wouldn’t do this!
Bedford > Killian Hayes 🤷♀️
Lol that ain't sayin much
My nigga was a road runner 😂
