Joker ...the elite knocked him off ....I feel like Michael Jordan, shaque and magic Johnson has something to do with it...idk I'm a conspiracy theorist 🤧
I’ve met this man’s mother. She’s an evangelist now (or minister can’t exactly remember her title). However, she is full of love and still smiles when she hears her son’s name. “Leave it all to God” is what she always has said. Great video and even greater player. Such a young life cut short ❤️
Jay's Murder literally makes me ANGRY. It was SENSELESS. He did NOTHING to deserve it. He didn't even get killed by Gangbangers, he was shot dead over something so remotely PETTY,IDIOTIC and STUPID. A Jealous Moron killed him without even ASKING questions and interrogating him.
@@Tornado1994 , yeah, I remember the day he got murdered. It was widely speculated that he was having an affair with a married woman who worked at a jewelry store at Prince George's Plaza Shopping Mall in Hyattsville, Maryland.
Well I wish I could say the same about Len Bias!!! He refused to sign my Len Bias poster when I went to the U of Maryland summer basketball camp. He brushed me off and was very arrogant!!! He was just standing there talking to some chic with a greasy jurhi curl.
@@craigprice1598 He wasn't. That's the really tragic thing. He was on break from his job at the Bank to get a Ring customized for his Girlfriend. He was CASUALLY talking to the asshole's estranged wife. That's all. He even TOLD him that it was a misunderstanding.
One of the doctors said that there was so much cocaine in his bloodstream that an elephant wouldn’t even survive that overdose. That was Bias’s First time ever taking drugs, he either was setup or most likely poisoned. Rip to the true goat that us NBA fans never got to see touch a NBA court. Len Bias November 18th 1963 - June 19th 1986 🙏🏽
Michael Jordan was poisoned too…that’s what led to the ‘flu game’. He ordered pizza from a local place in Utah when the Jazz were playing the Bulls in the 1997 NBA Finals. The guys at the pizza parlor in Utah probably wanted the Jazz to win the next game. Elite basketball players should get a commoner they trust to order their food for them or cook their own food.
@Kewana Nedd, when the sucess come to certain type of people, It forces them to do stupid things that they will never do If they keep being common people. Have a band here in Brazil that i think the only time they got drunk was when they celebrate the sign of a contract with a big Record Company. All the band died a few months later in a airplane crash..
I was a senior in high school when he died! I remember when they announced his death! This was a shocking and sad blow to the NBA and the world. Rest in power brother! You would've been a legend!
Because of his death i never did drugs I was 21 when he died now I'm 54 years old ... his death stuck with me not to never do drugs This what happens when you are a follower off the world ....
Yes, they were coincidences smh. So were Whitney and Bobbi Kristina.. Both coincidences... Nobody killed any of them. Why folks act like drugs don't kill??
Stephanie is telling the truth. I had no idea. James Stanley "Jay" Bias, 20, was pronounced dead of two gunshot wounds at 2:52 p.m. at Leland Memorial Hospital, the same hospital where his brother was taken unconscious from a cocaine overdose on June 19, 1986.Dec 5, 1990
There’s something off & sketchy about his death. Especially being that his brother was killed later on around the same age. It’s as if someone didn’t want them to make it to the NBA

Key From92 illuminati is real They killed bias and his Brother Especially the case with bias little brother How in the h*** can he go get a ring for is girlfriend and flirt what somebody's wife a makes no sense I believe that's a made up story I've heard that so many times back in the old days bunch of BS
Something about his death doesn’t sit right with me. Len was a top athlete , His cardio must’ve been in tiptop shape. Why did he die and the others doing drugs with him didn’t? He could have been given lethal dose intentionally
That's what I'm thinking and I heard another story where if they got him to the hospital, he'd live. Plus supposed to been quite a few people and he only one ODs
Such a shame someone so gifted with such a bright future I couldn't even imagine being the parents of both of them. Makes me wish I could go back in time just to try and save this young man and he could live the full life he was supposed to have.
@black sun Jay died over nothing. Some jealous ass nigga MISUNDERSTOOD and thought that Jay was flirting with his Estranged Young Wife at the Jewelry Store in the Mall,when all that was happening was that Jay was just a customer casually talking to her. It wouldn't have matter IF she had been putting the moves on Jay, since she had broken up with her EXs Jealous ass already. Jay told him that it was just a misunderstanding, and that he was just there to get a Ring customized for his friend. "Look Man, I don't want no trouble. I ain't flirting or anything like that. I was just chatting casually with her and I didn't know she was your girl." The Asshole, Jerry Tyler begin antagonizing Jay, who brushed it off and instead got in his Car with his Coworkers. Tyler then had a friend of his drive up in a Mercedes and ambush Bias by shooting him several times with a PPK Handgun. Tyler fired the Gun.
If that was his first time, then why do so much? I believe it was put in his drink. Listen to the 911 call. That dude was nervous as hell, then he say no man u can't die. Setup Setup Setup!!!
I think he was murdered out of jealousy. Ppl in his circle knew he wasnt familiar with drugs and used that against him. Someone took the time to try to clean up and cover up the drug use in the apt. Tribbles voice sounded as if he was high as a kite and that 911 operator... i hope was fired or had mandatory training re-isssued to him. He's the reason im a Celtics Fan... He was drafted the exact day i was born. RIP LEN BIAS
Jordan still will have been Jordan. He wouldn’t have 5 mvps or 6 nba titles. Boston and Bias would have been his rival. Bird and Mchale careers would have been longer. Jordan still would have figured out how to beat them a couple times. Celtic and bulls would have battled the whole 90s for the eastern conference. Jordan and Bias would have been magic and bird in the 90s. I say Jordan get 3 mvp and 3 titles. Bias get about 3 mvp and 4 or 5 titles because Boston had the big 3 early in his career.
@@dsg3053 It's just my opinion on this topic, I can't speak for anyone else an it should be respected I'm simply saying Jordan wouldn't be the G.O.A.T if Len Bias would of lived.
I was saying the same thing why was Jesse Jackson there something about him I'm not impressed with or feeling him. I think he's part of that society and he sold his soul.
@@NBAInsider I enjoyed the thoroughness of the video... The link between Nancy Reagan's _'Just Say No'_ campaign after Bias' death was something I never paid attention to... The way you segued into the cocaine vs crack jail sentences via race was spot on... Needless to say... This was a very well prepared video...

Weed actually isn't much of a gateway drug. That's straight propaganda when ya look at the stats. Surprisingly, alcohol and cigarettes are most people's gateways. But back in the 70's and 80's all kinds of people went from nothing to coke/rock. That wasn't uncommon at all. Still isn't. I've seen hard working moms who didn't even so much as sip wine or anything like that be selling off everything she owns for a rock within a month of that first hit. And I've also known yuppie couples so snort H on the weekends and have it completely under control. The stereotypes are just that, not necessarily real at all and never the only way things go.
The highlights that the news showed after his passing always had him smiling confidently as he went up the hoop. I remember the shock and sadness and the vibration of murder that lingered for YEARS. I didnt follow basketball but I would watch Len Bias and even tho I didnt know him personally, it was like I could 'feel" him and what transpired
I remember this so clearly, I was so saddened by the news. Smh!!! He was far better than MJ in college. RIP my brother Love, peace and more peace to his family
but then wouldn’t the autopsy show that? The autopsy found a ton of coke in his system and showed signs he wasn’t a long term user. Probably just cheap shit laced with something and his body didn’t kno how to react
He was busy getting suspect information instead learning what the issue is and dispatching help. Irritated my soul to hear him (operator) act so bothered .... And Tribble.... He was so high his mouth almost didn't work. I believe Tribble was the "Oswald" of this crime but when it actually went down , he wasn't prepared for that scene. This was senseless jealousy and greed at work here.
This was my absolute favorite player when I was a kid growing up playing basketball. I will never forget the joy of seeing him dominate every team, including my Duke Blue Devils. He made a really really bad choice and it cost him life and legacy. RIP COTTON
He was assassinated did u see the amount of pure cane in his system but he didn’t inject or snort it… thats not suspicious? That doesn’t sound like Murder?
Jealousy is a evil tool. Someone didn't want Len to move them out of the limelight!. They hired others to kill him and then set up and kill his brother. That's evil enough but to put smut on their names is a demon move.
@@kentamitchell It's not at all suspicious to you that someone who hadn't done drugs decides to celebrate with something he has chosen to shun? They said even the coroner said it was possibly the first time cocaine was in his body. The manner of his death is at least suspicious.
Damn bro u got great content but don’t upload as often as u should. Also I’m begging you to Maybe make videos on Rodney Rogers, Drazen Petrovic, Reggie Lewis, Benji Wilson, Hank Gathers, Manute Bol and “Pistol” Pete Maravich🙏
Thank you for the kind words Loro. We completely agree with you. Also, those look like some interesting topics for us to cover. If you do not mind telling us, what did you enjoy about the video?
I'm from the DMV I remember as a small child about his passing,IT WAS CRAZY!! Every news channel flashed his death for Hours like days, The Dmv was shook up,He was Great and I never seen him play...
This is one of those unforgettable stories. I met Lonise at night school in Biology class at Spingarn High in DC. and remember her showing me pictures of her children and husband who she was so proud of and I did the same. You never know what the future will bring unfortunately. Have always sent my love and condolences the familiy's way. Rest in Paradise Bias children.
Thing is we all have those friends that do stuff eventhough we dont. However you typically end up at the same parties and eith your group of friends that you feel comfortable with. He wasn't a known partier but be had probably been around it numerous times and after being on that emotional high of being drafted by the Celtics he made some bad choices and he simply overdid it. It was one of the most tragic sports stories of all time. To this day it still just doesn't seem real.
True dat! Truer than you know. Rabbit hole deeper than earth is big. Unexpected names will surface soon to let you know just how damn deep that rabbit hole is.
Plz dnt start putting that big ass lie on another Black man y’all .come on y’all we are our own enemies and it’s a fckn shame mj had shit to do with this shit !! Tribble probably talked him into it but mike didn’t do shit . They told the story how it started n how it ended period just cause they mentioned mj name our own ppl put us n the middle of the bs ... stop y’all fr ...PLZ!!😪
@@NBAInsider the clear insight into what we, or most ppl, didn't know... Also, I've been Subbd to this channel for awhile and absolutely enjoy the content and quality. Thanks
I remember where I was and what I was doing when I heard about his death. Two things that stood out: 1) For some strange reason it felt like someone you knew had just died and 2) his death paved the way for the changing of drug laws. There are some other eerie things and shady people associated with his death that I can't go into or even allege but I really don't believe it's coincidental that a certain NBA player ascended after Bias's death. Peace.
Also I need to point out, 1st how racist the original coverage in the 80s was. 2nd its actually very hard to overdose and even harder to die from such an overdose. The cocaine laws so blatantly racists and wrong. Cant socialize morality
I was supposed to only be online for a minute! I saw this and had to stay for it's entirety. Thanks for keeping Len alive and not allowing us to forget him. Great video.
He died on my daughter's two year old birthday; being a basketball fan I was shocked and saddened and even though I hated the Celtics, his prematurely death still pains my heart still. Rest in Peace Len 🙏
Man his death hurt me back in the day. I was a huge fan of his watched him on tv every chance he was on went to see him play in NCAA tournament in California and even though I am a Lakers fan was going to continue watching him play For Celtics and then the news came that he died 🙁
I loved LB and was also devastated by his death. After his death I stopped playing basketball and I guess he is the reason I am not a fan of MJ. I still tear up whenever I see or hear anything about him. LB the greatest ever
I have ALWAYS believed that his so-called "friend" Tribble was really envious and jealous of Ben and got him to try that POWERFUL PURE drug knowing it would likely kill him.....I will ALWAYS believe this...like my grandfather always said.."everyone that laughs and smiles in your face is NOT your friend" AMEN to that granddaddy ..#🙏
My brother cried when this happened. He was in middle School and really looked up to Len. I remember growing up he liked Len more than Michael. After Len died he totally invested his attention to Michael Jordan so I did too. The youngest of my family, I was stuck watching what he watched

@@calroach1 It wasn't the quality as I recall... it was the amount of coke that was in his system... and how come no one saw him using it if he was out celebrating and partying with his friends???
This is why there's always been a mystery to it. However, it's quite easy for someone to mix a lot of it in your drink.
I hope that operator lost his job!! Rude af & no compassion at all!!
Mr. Bias was murdered. And players are still being murdered while these ridiculous stories circulate to cover it all up.
FACTS
Mr Bias did drugs and died. Tragic but not out of the norm.
I believe that also.. I'm a product of Maryland and the KKK was still strong then .burning crosses in the fields.
Absolutely. This is bigger than Sport's, Racism or anything else. The "Elite's" have this stuff planned out year's in advance.
Are you all sipping the fucking kool aid far out there man
Damn to think this guy could’ve been better than MJ is scary rest easy Bias 🙏🏾
We completely agree with you. How did you enjoy the video?

We have heard this story a million times. I would love to hear from the people at that party. Thats the real story!!!

Be nice if they do a movie about him..
As always somebody knows something. They’re just afraid to come forward
@@godmadenotredameno1 facts
There’s a documentary with them that was on Netflix.
I believe Len Bias was setup by someone who was jealous 🙏R.I.P 😞
I concur...
yeah that's what I thought some body was hating ,jealousy 😒
I was thinking the same thing
Set up by who all the folks involved in this death were getting ready to get paid if he played
How about he took the drugs and is the only person responsible for his death?
911 operator rude as hell
Ms Unusual yes he was
Tribble sound like he got a mouth full of shit. He also don't sound panicky enough.
@@sonjamcintosh7813 he was high
They are always rude as fuck.. heres the address be the fuck on the way
They need to fire his dirty ass, rude son of a bitch!!
I been a conspiracy theorist so long that this is jus.... too suspicious overall to me
You're absolutely right! I think people should always listen to that inner voice. There are mysteries is this world that are all surrounded by conspiracy! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 That's your inner wisdom speaking . That's a gift!❤🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
Wake up.
I have recently found out if it looks like a conspiracy then it is probably true
Key From92 illuminati is real They killed bias and his Brother Especially the case with bias little brother How in the h*** can he go get a ring for is girlfriend and flirt what somebody's wife a makes no sense I believe that's a made up story I've heard that so many times back in the old days bunch of BS
That 911 operator was disrespectful.
They always are ! Mean people answer those phones !!
Was thinking the same. Well what do you want me to do!?? That's what I feel like he wants to say.
Especially when every second counts
Drugs... Why to respect drugs??
"Meh, sounds like a black, gonna take my time" -Operator
"Meh, just another black that i could revive, best let him die"
-EMT
The spirit if jealousy is terrible!! You have to really be on guard who you hang with. Lord have mercy!!
Jealousy is the worse. The word saysCain was jealous of Able then murder came.
Something about his death doesn’t sit right with me. Len was a top athlete , His cardio must’ve been in tiptop shape. Why did he die and the others doing drugs with him didn’t? He could have been given lethal dose intentionally
That's what I'm thinking and I heard another story where if they got him to the hospital, he'd live. Plus supposed to been quite a few people and he only one ODs
Such a shame someone so gifted with such a bright future I couldn't even imagine being the parents of both of them. Makes me wish I could go back in time just to try and save this young man and he could live the full life he was supposed to have.
Did the 911 operator say, " It doesn't matter what his name is" so disrespectful he was just saying the name of the person who needed help.smh 😓
911 operator wants pertinent information. Name is not important. They want location, age, symptoms and vital signs,.
He was killed 👌period then his brother was on his way they realized who he was and killed him too 🤷♀️end of story rih too them both 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Wu Love no no no ! That guy who shot him in his back didn’t know him. He was no LEN not even close !!!
@black sun Jay died over nothing. Some jealous ass nigga MISUNDERSTOOD and thought that Jay was flirting with his Estranged Young Wife at the Jewelry Store in the Mall,when all that was happening was that Jay was just a customer casually talking to her. It wouldn't have matter IF she had been putting the moves on Jay, since she had broken up with her EXs Jealous ass already. Jay told him that it was just a misunderstanding, and that he was just there to get a Ring customized for his friend. "Look Man, I don't want no trouble. I ain't flirting or anything like that. I was just chatting casually with her and I didn't know she was your girl." The Asshole, Jerry Tyler begin antagonizing Jay, who brushed it off and instead got in his Car with his Coworkers. Tyler then had a friend of his drive up in a Mercedes and ambush Bias by shooting him several times with a PPK Handgun. Tyler fired the Gun.
Sexy,
Do you love the Wu Tang Clan or is that your real name???
@@amandakurtz7732
He not have been good like his older sibling, but he was a good basketball player.
Wu Love tragic
This is one of the stories where achieving a dream and then look away and then gone. Holy smoke I didn't know about his brother even more tough news.
So if he never drink or smoke then why would he say yes to cocaine I don't understand did someone inject him with the poison like they did with Easy E
He might of been a monster behind closed doors you dont no him.
I think he was setup.
If that was his first time, then why do so much? I believe it was put in his drink. Listen to the 911 call. That dude was nervous as hell, then he say no man u can't die. Setup Setup Setup!!!
I think Tribble was jealous n murdered him. Sounds like his whole town was jealous because the brother was killed too.
Nicole Taylor i wouldn’t doubt it!!! We’ll put
Murder by Numbers. Gematria! Check out Gematria Effects News. Zachary Hubbard, here on RUclips. It's all about rituals and blood sacrifices!
Damn Nicole...
Tribble doesn't get enough blame.
@@sunshinehand1223 smh people believe anything you sound stupid af
💯💯💯
The details surrounding his death still seem suspicious to me.
The 911 operator just pissed me off. Tribble just told hom.the address and the name of Bias. Then his response is "What are you talking about?"
Yep that was wrong as hell
This is what you call quality content. Keep up the good work nba insider
Thank you for the kind words Andrew. If you do not mind telling us, what did you enjoy about the video?
I think he was murdered out of jealousy. Ppl in his circle knew he wasnt familiar with drugs and used that against him. Someone took the time to try to clean up and cover up the drug use in the apt. Tribbles voice sounded as if he was high as a kite and that 911 operator... i hope was fired or had mandatory training re-isssued to him. He's the reason im a Celtics Fan... He was drafted the exact day i was born. RIP LEN BIAS
If Len Bias would of lived Michael Jordan wouldn't be the man he is today as far as the greatest NBA player of all times.
Jordan still will have been Jordan. He wouldn’t have 5 mvps or 6 nba titles. Boston and Bias would have been his rival. Bird and Mchale careers would have been longer. Jordan still would have figured out how to beat them a couple times. Celtic and bulls would have battled the whole 90s for the eastern conference. Jordan and Bias would have been magic and bird in the 90s. I say Jordan get 3 mvp and 3 titles. Bias get about 3 mvp and 4 or 5 titles because Boston had the big 3 early in his career.
And how do you know this? People swear they have all encompassing knowledge 🤦🏿♂️
@@dsg3053 It's just my opinion on this topic, I can't speak for anyone else an it should be respected I'm simply saying Jordan wouldn't be the G.O.A.T if Len Bias would of lived.
Sounds like Jordan was the chosen one for the elites and now they have disposed of him
Jordan is a sellout.
i don’t see how anyone can watch this video and not see that this was all set tf uP!! and that Jesse Jackson...imma head out
Wat does dat mean
Dat Jesse Jackson.... Imma head out
Help me pls
I was saying the same thing why was Jesse Jackson there something about him I'm not impressed with or feeling him. I think he's part of that society and he sold his soul.

This just sad man 😢 don’t believe this man was on coke who goes from never doing drugs to cocaine what happened to marijuana first ....wow
@Eric Baira Not yet but he's on my list....There is soooo many
Weed actually isn't much of a gateway drug. That's straight propaganda when ya look at the stats. Surprisingly, alcohol and cigarettes are most people's gateways.
But back in the 70's and 80's all kinds of people went from nothing to coke/rock. That wasn't uncommon at all. Still isn't. I've seen hard working moms who didn't even so much as sip wine or anything like that be selling off everything she owns for a rock within a month of that first hit. And I've also known yuppie couples so snort H on the weekends and have it completely under control. The stereotypes are just that, not necessarily real at all and never the only way things go.
True idk
The highlights that the news showed after his passing always had him smiling confidently as he went up the hoop. I remember the shock and sadness and the vibration of murder that lingered for YEARS. I didnt follow basketball but I would watch Len Bias and even tho I didnt know him personally, it was like I could 'feel" him and what transpired
He sounds high during the 911 call and that dispatcher was rude asf
Patrice Waters yeah I agree!
@partrice water.very rude I noted he said he doesn't want to know his name... What? London locked
Yeah that punk ass dispatcher was very rude. Clearly, he was working in the wrong profession. No caring, no empathy, and no compassion. Smh.
Because the footage isn’t real!
@@freereign911 how do you know if its real or not?
They drugged him, and even stashed the dope on him. Very sad ☹️
I remember this so clearly, I was so saddened by the news. Smh!!! He was far better than MJ in college.
RIP my brother
Love, peace and more peace to his family
This could have been Michael Jordan only Bigger and stronger.
No. More like a grant hill
No outside of glorified ESPN stories I've never read or heard any respected expert say he couldve been MJ. The most wouldve been GRANT HILL or PIPPEN
Nah
Hell no..
Michael who? That would have been the question is Len hadn't died.
My sister who was about 14,15yrs at that time cried her poor little heart out over him,she had a big crush on dude🙄
Were you annoyed by that?
No not at all..id just never her cry like that
Outstanding protégés , it’s very unfortunate both brothers are dead 😭.
this was a setup
PERIOD
U GAD DAM RIGHT THEY WERE JEALOUS
CLEARLY!
💯💯💯

Someone took him out!!!
Jealousy at its finest!!!
but then wouldn’t the autopsy show that? The autopsy found a ton of coke in his system and showed signs he wasn’t a long term user. Probably just cheap shit laced with something and his body didn’t kno how to react
@@ripkobe496 bro 98% coke is not some cheap shit😂 98% is some fbi lab drugs. thats what his 30for30 doc said the % was

It is! It was inclusive and pointed
R.I.P. Len, you were that Dude!
Facts💯💯💯
“It doesn’t matter what his name is”. Proceeds to waste time asking names. Maybe his first name. Like, ok, Brian, chest compressions.
He was busy getting suspect information instead learning what the issue is and dispatching help. Irritated my soul to hear him (operator) act so bothered .... And Tribble.... He was so high his mouth almost didn't work. I believe Tribble was the "Oswald" of this crime but when it actually went down , he wasn't prepared for that scene. This was senseless jealousy and greed at work here.
This was my absolute favorite player when I was a kid growing up playing basketball. I will never forget the joy of seeing him dominate every team, including my Duke Blue Devils. He made a really really bad choice and it cost him life and legacy. RIP COTTON
He was assassinated did u see the amount of pure cane in his system but he didn’t inject or snort it… thats not suspicious? That doesn’t sound like Murder?
They set Len up 😢
This story made me want to be a better athlete, and then my love for Sports Journalism came as the coverage of this tragedy played out so badly.
Hollywood will tell you anything. As far as I'm concerned he could've been a sacrifice.
Exactly
Virginia Remedi I agree, these things just don’t happen overnight just like Roman wasn’t built in a day. They sacrificed him and his brother.

@@MsValove4 I have been on so many levels this whole thing is deep...The Rabbit Hole Is Deep, But My Eyes Are Opened...
@@daniellemiller9667 once your eyes start opening it's crazy isn't it?
Jealousy is a evil tool. Someone didn't want Len to move them out of the limelight!. They hired others to kill him and then set up and kill his brother. That's evil enough but to put smut on their names is a demon move.
"Someone"? just can't comprehend that Bias made a stupid decision, and paid a terrible price.
@@kentamitchell It's not at all suspicious to you that someone who hadn't done drugs decides to celebrate with something he has chosen to shun? They said even the coroner said it was possibly the first time cocaine was in his body.
The manner of his death is at least suspicious.
@@lql1094 You should watch the ESPN documentary 30 for 30 on Len Bias. According to his former teammate's they all had done drug's before.

The Len Bias law ended up being "biased". The irony
Their poor parents, I couldn’t imagine

I'm from the DMV I remember as a small child about his passing,IT WAS CRAZY!! Every news channel flashed his death for Hours like days, The Dmv was shook up,He was Great and I never seen him play...

His tradgic story literally makes me feel sick. So much talent he had smh, RIP Mr.Bias
This is one of those unforgettable stories. I met Lonise at night school in Biology class at Spingarn High in DC. and remember her showing me pictures of her children and husband who she was so proud of and I did the same. You never know what the future will bring unfortunately. Have always sent my love and condolences the familiy's way. Rest in Paradise Bias children.
Sad to say that was the era. The 80s was full of coke and everybody was doing it. Line here line there. It was a social drug.
Thing is we all have those friends that do stuff eventhough we dont. However you typically end up at the same parties and eith your group of friends that you feel comfortable with. He wasn't a known partier but be had probably been around it numerous times and after being on that emotional high of being drafted by the Celtics he made some bad choices and he simply overdid it. It was one of the most tragic sports stories of all time. To this day it still just doesn't seem real.
You mean Crack.
I mean Coke. Crack is cocaine and Bias was doing cocaine.
Not everybody
Ummmm,no...everyone was not doing lines. Where did YOU grown up, omg.

@@NBAInsider the clear insight into what we, or most ppl, didn't know... Also, I've been Subbd to this channel for awhile and absolutely enjoy the content and quality. Thanks
I remember where I was and what I was doing when I heard about his death. Two things that stood out: 1) For some strange reason it felt like someone you knew had just died and 2) his death paved the way for the changing of drug laws. There are some other eerie things and shady people associated with his death that I can't go into or even allege but I really don't believe it's coincidental that a certain NBA player ascended after Bias's death. Peace.
That is true...it did feel like he was from every hood. It was a reminder to everybody that you aint out till you really out.
🎯🎯🎯🐠
Please off yourself smh
Everyone around him should have been making sure he was good at all times.
Right. Protect that bag..
Also I need to point out, 1st how racist the original coverage in the 80s was. 2nd its actually very hard to overdose and even harder to die from such an overdose. The cocaine laws so blatantly racists and wrong. Cant socialize morality
You know since he was a athlete maybe the drug metabolized so fast in his body, so he may have took more. SMH sad
@@ladykb9729 that's a really well thought out and intelligent point u made. I never thought of that, but that's prob what did happen.

He died on my daughter's two year old birthday; being a basketball fan I was shocked and saddened and even though I hated the Celtics, his prematurely death still pains my heart still. Rest in Peace Len 🙏
Man his death hurt me back in the day. I was a huge fan of his watched him on tv every chance he was on went to see him play in NCAA tournament in California and even though I am a Lakers fan was going to continue watching him play For Celtics and then the news came that he died 🙁
I loved LB and was also devastated by his death. After his death I stopped playing basketball and I guess he is the reason I am not a fan of MJ. I still tear up whenever I see or hear anything about him. LB the greatest ever
I remember when this happened. I was 16 that summer...that scared me
This is low-key one of the best videos on this site.
