I honestly think he would've ruled the league and altered NBA history as we know it. Maybe stopped jordan from winning a few titles. :manny:

Maybe that's why he died:ooh:

Bird said he would have retired in '88 if Bias didnt die, so no I doubt the Celtics win more rings

Center self, inner self
And nobody saw him as a franchise type player either:beli:
You are grasping at straws here. It's obvious you don't know what you're talking about. As people have told you, Jordan was a big deal in college. He wasn't seen as a Lebron James type level hype coming out of college but he was definitely highly regarded

After the tape sessions, Thorn went back to Chicago thinking he would draft Jordan. But if Jordan was gone, his plan was to take another Tar Heel player, forward Sam Perkins. Before making it final, Thorn decided to attend the SEC Tournament to get a first-hand look at Auburn's Charles Barkley.

"Alabama threw a zone at Charles and he had six points, fouled out and played an awful game. He couldn't make an outside shot," Thorn said. "So I left there thinking, 'How is this guy ever going to be a big-time player in pro ball? He's just too small to do what he was doing in college in the NBA.'"

Charles ended up being a good player, but Thorn was right in wanting Jordan or Perkins first.

Yep Reggie Lewis death, Len Bias death and Magic getting HIV. Changed the history of the league. I don't believe MJ and the bulls get 6 rings if those 3 events don't happen.
You might be right..
Except, I think Magic and the Lakers were already coming apart from all their battles in the 1980s.

What cleared the way for Jordan was that the Pistons fell apart.
I guess maybe if the Celtics had Bias....the Pistons never win a title...but they'd still have been better than the Bulls.

bias would have sustained and made any and every team a complete non factor.
if, he would have lived and negated any and every possible realistic outcome from ever occurring.
meaning, no rise of the pistons.
from la to Portland, and no ramp up possibilities for any team in the NBA to possibly compete.
if, not for bird actually injuring his back chopping wood.
which we can say would have possibly still occurred.
I believe bias if he lived would have still been formidable enough with boston's assets.
that possibly assets after in Reggie Lewis would have never been pushed to the point to ever unearth what occurred and Boston would have shored up any other frontcourt aging pieces in McHale and chief.
to cause an issue for any team in the NBA moving forward.
as piru and bias being bias as a court leader with or after bird.
would have possibly reared an erratic wildcat, Antoine walker into a completely focused player as well.
in the same manner that bird, did as an exec/consultant/coach for jalen rose in Indy.

so, I see boston possibly having a monopoly on winning ships from bird to bias.
considering bird would have hurt his back either way.
Since, that occurred in his personal time and he is a country time kinda guy.

regardless if bird was healthy or not.
if bias, lived Boston would have had a grip on the NBA.
those shootouts with nique would have been nique against bias and bird.
where bias was as good, or the equal.
if not better than nique and jordan.
Plus, he would have had a pedigree edge over nique and Jordan as well.
So, he wouldn't have to iso to do any of it.


Celtics lineup with bias


DJ/ainge
bias/carlisle/ainge
bird/bias
McHale
chief

bias would have canceled out worthy neutralizing the Lakers advantage on the floor in transition and on paper.
to the point when worthy went hog wild.
to win the ship on the celt's.
if bias was there,...after that.
those days would have been over, over.
that is how good they were. And they would have handled the trailblazers, Utah, suns, Seattle anybody in the west with no prob.
bias was that nikka like that for real.
