Len Bias was the most unfortunate. He had just been drafted by the NBA champion Boston Celtics and would have been a very important part of their continued success. One bad decision ended that opportunity before it even got started. The Celtics never recovered from that tragedy. That group of players never won another title. The rival Lakers had their back to back and then Detroit did the same. After that, the Bulls dynasty took over. By that time, the Celtics core players were too old to compete and beat the more talented Bulls.
Drazen Petrovich dying just as he was hitting his peak years remains, in my mind, the biggest single tragedy in the history of the NBA. A great, hardworking competitor who was the best pure shooter I ever saw. RIP Drazen.
Petrović is considered the best ever player from Europe. He ruled the scene of Europe at every club, he was the best player of Yugoslavian and Croatian national team. The Steph Curry before Steph Curry. Scoring from half court before it was a norm.
The Bible says that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved. 🙏🏽
Still incredible, I know we ALL get old but I watch most of these guys play, & to see pro athletes die just like non-athletes is something.... We ALL have to do for OUR to age better & longer....
Wilt can't really die if the NBA record book is still around. You'll never stop hearing his name, he may not be here, but his name will forever be remembered by NBA fans.
@CerebralBuckets why wasn't he supposed to? He special or something? He a human like anybody else and we all die everyday. Stop worshipping celebrities
@@kafe5827yes, because his birth certificate got lost when he was young so he struck his head with a rock every 5 years, and his teammate has been found to say that while he was playing he had over 11 strikes counting up to 55 years old while playing.
Drazen one still gets me. A man just starting to reach his peak after being horribly mismanaged in Portland before finding a home with the Nets. Best shooter I’ve ever seen in 40+ years of watching basketball. What he could have done in the modern NBA….
You forgot the one team mate of Kevin Garnet in Timberwolves. Even me, didn't remember his name. But I know there is 1 man played in Minnisota died in car crash.
@@iderrickroseidol531 malik sealy and shaq , even though different teams, were close friends because of their love of supercars. Shaq said he sometimes races with sealy on the highway. But after sealy died he never drove like he used to. I read in shaq biography.
Was Bison Deles case confirmed to be murder? We all know his brother killed him but the case is still cold I believe since they will never find his body
It goes much deeper than that, he was murdered by the freemasons as a human sacrifice for LeBron coming to LA. Same goes for the knight fella too. The NBA isn't wat u think it is m8. U really think Kobe died in a helicopter crash. That's a total BS story believe it if you wish. Shit gets real deep bro, some can't handle the truth or simply refuse to believe
Could You Imagine If He Played In The NBA Today With Everyone Shooting 3's He Would Have Had Multiple Scoring Titles.. He Was A Killer Like MJ And Kobe.. Drazen Was Ahead Of His Time.
Imo the saddest ones are Bobby Phills, Uncle Cliff, Kobe Bean and especially Lorenzen Wright, bc such a nice person and a great Grizzlies player who carried the franchise, Wright literally got left out by a dispatcher only just saying "Im just hearing gunshots" while he was gettin murdered and gettin shot by his wife and his wife's cousin.
The Bible says that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved 🙏🏽.
nick vanos boarded a flight called northwest airlines flight 255. its a really horrifying flight. simplified, the plane didnt use any flaps on take off, so it struck multiple things before crashing into a busy highway, killing all but one baby on board.
Kobe's still feels unreal.
😔
He was the reason why I watched basketball
🙏🏀
Ik 😢😢😢
Kobe age when he died it was 41 not 42

I don't think Bias was a user. He just tried it and it got him. I guess that's a lesson or us.

Always wear your seatbelt. It can save your life.
Jordan said he considered him a rival

He was fun to watch
RIP kobe and his daughter we will never forget that Rip the legends
R.I.P.
Bryce Dejean-Jones's death hit me hard. I used to watch him live while he was in college. Had good potential
RIP
Kobe's still hits so hard😢
😔RIP
Fr, RIP legend
I think his death was set up weather was bad an still flew plane
RIP
Fr😢
You forgot Reggie Lewis , few years after Len Bias Celtics fell into dark times
I was just about to say
And Moses malone
And LeBron James during a plane crash

R.I.P for All these Legends
Including A Tribute To Bill Walton And Jerry West Both Passed Away This Year.
Eddy Griffin deserve to be remembered
that's crazy that so much nba players have died from heart attacks RIP to all them
RIP
The Bible says that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved. 🙏🏽
I think it's because of the physicals and stress?
@@Mardoux-yu6iuwe all know why.
@mime3761 why?
Man!!!! R.I.P to Anthony Mason I didn't even know he was gone 😔
Cmon man
@@BourneKnight what?
Still incredible, I know we ALL get old but I watch most of these guys play, & to see pro athletes die just like non-athletes is something....
We ALL have to do for OUR to age better & longer....
So unreal to see Kobe up there... but also mention Anthony Payne from my hometown Dayton Ohio who was murdered...
I still can’t believe that bill Russell died😔
😔 RIP
Why? He was 88
Russell and sam Jones are the only ones presented that managed to live the full circle of life
Wait Wilt was dead? Damn . . . The way this guy was talked about I never knew he died
Yes, He died in Bel-Air, California, in 1999
Wilt can't really die if the NBA record book is still around. You'll never stop hearing his name, he may not be here, but his name will forever be remembered by NBA fans.
Ohh god 🤦🏻♂️
@ComparisonData. damn . . . I honestly didn't know. . . I've never heard him mentioned like the late great Wilt. . . Know what I mean?
Casual?
I love how everyone goes insane over Kobe dying to this day while bill russels death wasn’t even spoken of which was recent. Honestly sad
Kobe wasn't supposed to die. Bill Russells death is also sad but he lived a full life and died of natural causes.
@@CerebralBucketsNobody put rocket in his ass. Weather was terrible for flying because of fog stop coping for once
@CerebralBuckets why wasn't he supposed to? He special or something? He a human like anybody else and we all die everyday. Stop worshipping celebrities
I feel really bad when Kobe just died :(
RIP
Such a sad list ☹️ You could also add Eddie Griffin.
A lot of deaths via heart when it comes to basketball players shows how much that particular sport overworks your heart.
It's a sport, genius.
We don't know how old Manute was.
The handlers who brought him over made up his age. Rumor has it he may have already been over 40 while a rookie.
Is that true?
@@kafe5827
Google "Manute Bol's true age". There is some interesting stories on it.
@@kafe5827yes, because his birth certificate got lost when he was young so he struck his head with a rock every 5 years, and his teammate has been found to say that while he was playing he had over 11 strikes counting up to 55 years old while playing.
Kobe's death still huts hard but also remember when Hank Gathers died in the middle of the NCAA tournament back in 1990 I believe.
Len Bias could have been a basketball immortal. 😢😢😢
And don't forget the Celtics player who died on the court was drafted that same night
Reggie Lewis
@@jayherbogaming Lewis already was playing for them. Bias died two days after the draft.
Both wrong. Lewis was drafted in 1987.
Rip to all of them 🙏
RIP
Didnt include mark eaton?
I was going to say Mark Eaton, died in a bike crash
Drazen one still gets me. A man just starting to reach his peak after being horribly mismanaged in Portland before finding a home with the Nets. Best shooter I’ve ever seen in 40+ years of watching basketball. What he could have done in the modern NBA….
Rest in peace to all these famous basketball 🏀 players and condolences 💐 to their families and loved ones
You forgot the one team mate of Kevin Garnet in Timberwolves. Even me, didn't remember his name. But I know there is 1 man played in Minnisota died in car crash.
Okay I'll look it up and maybe he'll be featured in a new video.
Thanks for your cooperation and comment!
@@ComparisonData. He is Malik Seally. Google help me.
Malik Sealy yes, that was really sad.
Elgin Baylor
@@iderrickroseidol531 malik sealy and shaq , even though different teams, were close friends because of their love of supercars. Shaq said he sometimes races with sealy on the highway. But after sealy died he never drove like he used to. I read in shaq biography.

That’s so sad res in peace 😢 god help everyone
Rip Pete,Drazen,Kobe,Lorenzen,Tyler
RIP
There is no way I should be jamming to this beat over this somber topic but the beat is catchy as hell.
I remember cliff was on "survivor"
Was Bison Deles case confirmed to be murder? We all know his brother killed him but the case is still cold I believe since they will never find his body
The reason of Honeycutt death wasn't suicide, he was killed by the cops
It goes much deeper than that, he was murdered by the freemasons as a human sacrifice for LeBron coming to LA. Same goes for the knight fella too. The NBA isn't wat u think it is m8. U really think Kobe died in a helicopter crash. That's a total BS story believe it if you wish. Shit gets real deep bro, some can't handle the truth or simply refuse to believe

RIP Kobe
RIP
For us European the dead of Drazen Petrovic was devastated I mean really hurtful
Could You Imagine If He Played In The NBA Today With Everyone Shooting 3's
He Would Have Had Multiple Scoring Titles.. He Was A Killer Like MJ And Kobe.. Drazen Was Ahead Of His Time.
Tough As Nails.
I knew it was gonna show Bill Russell
R.I.P All these legends
RIP
Not mentioning Reggie Lewis is pure crime
Moses Malone too
You forgot Malik Sealy (February 1, 1970 - May 20, 2000) Automobile Accident
You forgot Reggie Lewis & Caleb Swanigan.
Sad the suicides😢
PRAY FOR THESE PEOPLE INVOVLED IN THESE THINGS AND PRAY THAT THEY DON'T GET HURT.✝🙏❤
Imo the saddest ones are Bobby Phills, Uncle Cliff, Kobe Bean and especially Lorenzen Wright, bc such a nice person and a great Grizzlies player who carried the franchise, Wright literally got left out by a dispatcher only just saying "Im just hearing gunshots" while he was gettin murdered and gettin shot by his wife and his wife's cousin.

Kobe we miss you,He will never be forgotten
R.i.p to all the people who died
RIP
I love you basketball players❤😢❤
I will miss you kobe bryant 😢
Some of these people used to be on my fantasy basketball team. Unreal there gone
The graphic representation of the deaths is on fire. Specially those who commit suicide. 😅
Thanks! 😅
Yeah hilarious
On 1:47 it says that Tyler Honeycut died at 28 but if you do the math 2018 minus 1990 is 28
You misspelled Maravich
Are the stupid graphics really necessary?
The Tyler Honeycut picture was quite graphic.
Len Bias drafted to the Boston Celtics & passed away afterwards
Jesus. A lot of these graphics seem a little distasteful
Jerry West 😢
those cartoons depicting the cause of death are extremely disrespectful.
RIP ALL
RIP
Reggie Lewis
This video and those stupid little graphics of their deaths are disrespect af
fr
Kevin Duckworth, Jerome Kersey....
well that's depressing, mostly suicides, murders, heart attacks....
Reggie Lewis- Celtics
Damn rick berry was only 25 and committee suicide. That's really sad.
😢😞🙏🏻💐🕊💔my deepest condolences to them family and friends that’s sad

Incredible how many of them died to Heart Failure 😲
You forgot Roi Tarpley and Christian Welp!

May they all rest in peace 😥
Pray for the people who died❤😊❤
You missed Howard Porter ( Villanova '71 Bulls, Pistons and Knicks ) He was the MVP of the 1971 NCAA Tournament . Nicknamed "Geezer"
Nobody could really prove how old manute bol really was.
It's Lou Hudson, not Lou Hodson. Havlicek, not Havilcek
Crazy that a 3 min video will be 6 min in our generation..
Schintzius died of cancer and Yinka Dare died of an arrhythmia... Maybe a little more research next time
Rasual Butler. I didn't know. Or Paul W
And pray for the people who smoke to❤😊❤
Old age is a privilege not given to many.
Had no clue about Tyler Honeycutt. Wow
Song low-key fire RIP those legends tho
PRAY THAT THEY ARE IN HEAVEN AND PRAY FOR THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS.✝🙏❤
Drazen petrovic 😔 😢he was nba ⭐️
Bro put these deaths in chronological order till bill russell
How y'all leave out Darryl Dawkins and Moses Malone?
You forgot Terrence Clarke
That suicide picture of Honeycut on the thumbnail is crazy 💀
You forgot Willie Mccarter
Wait you forgot Moses Malone’s death
Maybe in a next video
How often do organizations have to offer a sacrifice in order to maintain there success? 🤔
Just say the cause of death, no need for the disrespectful cartoon drawings depicting how they passed.
Forgot Wayman Tisdale
Damn some of those graphics are disrespectful asf tho
But it's clear isn't it?
RIP Bill Walton
