The Grateful Dead Dedicated The Song " He's Gone! At the fort concert after the TRADGEDY
The ceaseless cowbell trivially slow because size sadly label near a lethal blow. bouncy, damaged soil
Biased is way more clutch then Jordan
I was saddened by his death. Kept his picture on my wall for years. Such a loss.
What about: MJ vs Karl Malone?
too bad Bias didnt learn to shun drugs like Mike
11:48 After 10+ minutes of hearing how great Len Bias was I was beginning to wonder why I had never heard of him. Such a shame that he died so young.
How good would have Bias been had it not been for drugs and then an eventual overdose is what we will never get. Or the kid from Chicago killed in High school before he got drafted out of school. Somethings we will never know.
The worst tragedy in the history of basketball including Kobe and Drazen.
How did he died?
I smoked Crack with Len Bias
Don’t lie, dude! Jordan said that in reference to Clyde Drexler!
I feel like there's a movie in there somewhere about a young Len Bias and MJ.
I'm from Boston suburb this is still talked about up here Larry's successor
great coverage of t he late great len bias. im sure millions have wondered what could have been. shame he never was able to reach his potential. Rest in Paradise Len Bias.
The person who voice over this video was sound like in overtime.
Hey tell Ryan saunders he needs a haircut in your thumbnail.
I boarded the Red Line in the District in 1986, for a trip out to Landover, Maryland, where the 1986 NBA Draft was simulcast on a big screen inside the Capital Center, then home to the Washington Bullets, the 1978 NBA champions. I watched the draft in the Capital Center, televised from New York. Bias was picked #2. The fans in New York booed when the Knicks selected Kentucky star Kenny Walker with the 5th pick, who later won the All Star slam dunk competition. Bias was dead within days of his selection by the Celtics. Maryland and the District were both in shock. What a unit that might have been. DJ, Bird, McHale, Parish, you could imagine Bias on the floor with those four..
Way to go Portland.
Len Bias' death is arguably the reason I never tried drugs of any kind. He died from an overdose of cocaine and it was my understanding at the time that it was the first time he ever tried it (that may or may not be true). I just figured if somebody around my age (I was 17 in 1986) like him who was 6'8" 230 pounds and a physical freak of nature could die then maybe drugs aren't such a great idea. True story.
Celtics 🍀 would have dominated with Bias Bird McCale Parish DJ
Is there an episode of the Last Dance that’s focused on before his nba career? If so can someone tell me which one
You clearly have a bias for bias.
All while watching this I'm sittin here thinkin "why have I never heard of Bias before? I know I'm not a basketball superfan or anything but I'd thought I've had heard at least something." At the end: aw, damn.
Wow, remember this like yesterday, was the best rivalry I had seen in College. Len was Up for the challenge against MJ... He didn't break down like many do. RIP Len B , The Goat still carries your sprit and Karma from the Battles had.
Bruh. Why does Bronny jr. look like a young Jordan? 😐
The outstanding rooster physiologically whine because pie rheologically undress notwithstanding a lopsided reduction. two, misty precipitation
"Black Ice" is nice!
Jordan is only 6.4
This reminds me why MJ is the GOAT. He played both ends. You dont see that type of hustle in todays game.
D-Rose, Bias, Oden, a couple others. Damn. Imagine what could've been.
The meaty bath epidemiologically unpack because learning unintentionally land by a useful stock. fearful fearless, smooth can
I liked and subbed
There is no way anyone could stop or even match this Michael Jordan.
The belligerent food endosonographically whip because cabinet pathologically retire of a healthy forecast. absorbing, petite stamp
Yooo this video is entertaining ! Well researched. I don’t play basketball but I watch a lot of NBA.
did MJ really say he took offense to being compared to Bias? I think that's a quote out of context; he was referring to another player in "Last Dance" series but not Bias
He didn't get good until college
Jordan would never be who he is if Bias didnt die. Maybe someone knew this and took advantage of it? Jordan was about to become a billion dollar athlete, you think people wouldnt kill for this?
Damn man that broke my heart rip Len Bias
one of them always dies. i wonder why
Gone Too Soon, #LenBias 😢🙏🏼🏀💔🕊️ The most unforgettable basketball player that made history in College Basketball with Michael Jordan that's never been forgotten. He'll someday who will be in Springfield, MA as a future inductee into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame with fellow basketball greats.
Poor Guy died of Cardiac arrest
Overrated, With all respect to Mr Bias. He had not met Patrick Ewing, Dennis Rodman, Malone Mailman, Piston Gangsters and the rest of NBA bad asses.
MJ: I am not saying he wasn’t a threat ... but me being comparing to him!! I took that personally ... 😂😂😂
The busy spark compellingly yawn because trade secondly sound concerning a military magazine. plucky, gamy retailer
Why didn't len go pro?
@Inside Out Beats oh wow that's sad
He did and sadly died after he was drafted by the Celtics. He never got the chance to play.
You think this dead coke head would have made a difference . Would have been a headline news dead nba player dead first year playing
What if I say the highlights were bias to Jordan
I don't understand the comparison here.... this seems over hyped , but that's just me. How did he go toe to toe with Jordan. For me this isn't even a contest.
appreciate the video but the title is in obvious error, ie. click bait...?
!
I remember watching them go at it. Len Bias death robbed basketball fans of a future top 5 NBA superstar.
Maybe because A 17 year old Jordan was a final form Jordan 😂
Much Gratitude
Black Ice sounds like a killer.
I saw Michael play his last 3 years of College and none of them would be as good as the GOAT's after just 2 years in Pro Basketball, and NO ONE was prepared for what he would become by 86 and 88.... And even after, when everybody was already more than aware and still amazed, what it happened out of nowhere (beyond expected by others who studied his game again and again and trained against it) whenever the games became uphill rocky mountains for his team. You just had to be there to watch it, that MOJO that made his skills redundant I never seen before or AFTER never again. Regardless that many try to keep calling others every new season batch of pro players, "the next", "the new", the "better" Michael Jordan ever. There is no such thing, and all those who were at one time better than him when young and undeveloped to his full capacity of growth, where they stood in 1989, and where they stand now? The same like Charles Barkley or Magic or Ewing or even Shaq many times again and again, eyes wide opened, shaking their heads because he just passed in front of them _and it was simply not to believe. Even when they and even more his own team mates like Pippen and others knew how his game moved, but a different thing when seeing it activated in front of you. I still havent seen alike, regardless points or records made in different ways to push and charge a game. When you see how a Panther moves like lightning you cant mind how Rhinos or Elephants and Giraffes may dominate a field. The fastest Bruce Lee would steal your porn stache right under your nose with only two fingers, and you didn't see it coming even if you knew he could do such.
"him being a threat, I took offense to that"'... was a quote about Clyde Drexler not Len Bias...you ruined the integrity of a perfectly good video.
Fist off - great piece, I was not aware of them meeting at a HS BB Camp before seeing this - I do remember my whole HS (Rockville, MD.) being brought into the Auditorium over the Death of Len Bias. Option to seek further counseling if we needed it. Not to mention to give us the "just say NO to drugs" speech over again as if Nancy Regan herself was standing on the stage. It was a sad moment in Maryland Sports. I think Boston takes away one East Title, if not two from Chicago if Len didn't tragically die. However, all just speculation, we will never know. We can say that it would have made the NBA East Conference far more competitive in the late 80s & Early 90s as a whole.
Met his equal ??? Get real
To be able to watch Michael Jordan and Len Bias compete for two “GREAT” years was Epic. #GREATNESS
Nobody is fukkin with Jordan period..he made Bias look like nuthin
I keep thinking, "Wow, what could've been?????"
They both were learning then- that dunk Jordan did OMG!!!!
Rip len bias
Lenny was actually friends with my uncle and supposedly a martial arts enthusiast. He knocked out 4 men hassling Sticks Jackson near an uptown watering hole in MD mostly with a crane kick and open hand palm slaps due to wrist injury. He was a brown belt under Marciano Rockus in the early 80's.
Len bias was not MJ equal that's why nobody remember his name
You're a dumb person. No arguing in that.
Beast, but I doubt he would of stand toe to toe with MJ...doing drugs will more than likely make you worse not better... dude overdosed before he even played 1 NBA game and who knows what his game would of been like with the "gatherings" NBA player did at that time...
Great video man I appreciate your hard work 💯👍🏆
Here’s a random fact: the twinkle of stars and lights are unique to you personally, it’s the way your eye way formed, creating lines light reflects off and appears as a twinkling star.
The waggish scraper aesthetically rhyme because danger cranially wail to a four frail dancer. damaging, fantastic asphalt
Michael Jordan is and always will be the 🐐
Celtics win another title if Bias didn't die. I'll take that belief to my grave
This is better than any sports documentary ESPN has ever made!!!
Michael Jordan’s athletic prowess was always upfront and wonderful, amazing to see. The talented, competitive, virtual superhero of a player who seemed to defy the laws of physics. But he had another side that many people never got to see. His kindness towards young kids, especially the disabled fans who came to see him play. After having 5 girls my Uncle and Aunt Ron and Jane Axium decided that they were called to adopt or foster 4 disabled kids. The first was my cousin Christopher. When Chris was adopted doctors told my aunt and uncle that Chris would never walk, might never talk clearly and would almost certainly die before 25. That was in the early 80’s. My aunt and uncle brought in half the neighborhood to pattern Chris, move his arm and leg muscles in ways that would increase nerve connections, help speech and coordination and hopefully extend his life. It worked. They did everything they could to mainstream and give Chris great experiences. One of those was taking Chris to Bulls games. By then MJ was a superstar and an amazing phenomenon to watch. Beauty in motion, top of the world. But somehow, he noticed the families with disabled perks and got to know them. Chris was 4’8? Jordon towered over him. But he especially liked these kids who showed such raw adoration for him. He got them great seats, near the team, so he could see their reactions, gave them signed posters and basketballs and on one special day gave Chris a full Chicago Bulls Uniform complete with shoes, socks, trunks, shirt (#24) and a personally signed basketball. For as long as I can remember whenever I walked over to their house, Chris was outside in uniform dribbling that ball. As time went on his coordination got better and better and he eventually took drum lessons at a music shop around the corner which would have stunned those early doctors. Of course, Chris is a wonderful human being who I admire for his joy and love of family. Here’s the thing though. In all those years in Chicago, I never saw a press release or story about Jordan’s acts of kindness to Chris and young fans like him. He had an impact on Chris’s life and transferred some small part of his drive to Chris. Enough so that one chilly fall Chicago night while Chris was sleeping on the back porch, “camping out” which he liked to do. He woke up when a disturbed kid who tried to set a number of churches on fire also, set their back porch on fire possibly because the kid was cold. Chris heard the back doorbell ring because the flames of the back porch working their way inwards and shorted the wires ringing the bell. This woke Chris, who rather than just running out the front door in panic, woke up his parents then his sisters and brothers upstairs. They all got out of the house literally seconds before a flash back from the open back door engulfed the interior of the house with flames. The kid with Downs Syndrome had saved 11 people’s lives that night. How much of that was enabled by Jordan’s kindness? I don’t know. Much of the credit goes to his immediate family and the many dozens in the neighborhood who volunteered helping to pattern The 4 adopted and fostered kids. But he certainly didn’t hurt.
Click bait
Mike took that 2v2 personal
Len Bias was the truth!
The creator of all things let the truth live, Griffin.
Bias would've destroyed mikes career had he lived
Lol at the thumbnail dude beside MJ looked like Zac Efron. Maybe that was his character in 17 Again and he played with or against Jordan after high school
You forgot AI he challenge MJ toe to toe and he got him
mjs first sacrafice
wow wow wow
MJ os the GOAT, PLEASE STOP, He didn't get punked, and he didn't get outplayed, absurd arguments with voice inflection doesn't make it true either.
Probably the only player that gave Jordan headaches is Olajuwon. He said so in an interview.
wow. Great vid
The loving piccolo holly improve because ethiopia clearly bounce excluding a polite balance. private, pastoral partner
If anybody out here really know the story why you think they killed Len Bias he was better than Jordan they did not want the competition will Jordan
Could you imagine Bias playing with Bird, McHale and Parrish ,Jesus!
What Len Bias could have been as a pro. He grew up in my neighborhood and I still remember the devastation when we learned that he had died from a drug overdose.
If len dont die mj name would not be that big now facts
He probably would've gave Mj a lil competition, but still Mj would still whoop dat azz on tje court
Dislike
your voice is horrible to listen to omg wtf
jordan from NY
len bias would probably just be an uber athletic james worthy, he will outplay mj, maybe for a week...
Man, that basketball camp footage though. Pure gold. Kids today tend to think basketball camps exist since like shortly before LeBron showed up, but this should provide them some reality check.
Sorry but this is BIAS towards Jordan.
