Do yall think Len Bias was really gone be as good as he was hyped

[Art Barr]

Ive heard people who seen him in college compare him to Bernard King

he was Bernard king with more dynamic emotionally altering play.

He could have been a star because they were going to develop him as the face of the Celtics.

I'm in the camp that believes that it was maybe the first time he did more than just a line or two, too much...body wasn't use to the abuse and shut down. Terrible terrible shyt man.

That TV AD always got to me:

I thought that 30for30 said they were regular users just got a really pure cut.

I thought that 30for30 said they were regular users just got a really pure cut.

Nah, the others were. Bias did it before, but I'm thinking its the most he had ever done in a night and his body shut down.

 

[ZEupTWN]

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.

Don't forget ralph sampson flaming out in his prime, him and hakeem had potential to be a GOAT dynamic frontcourt ....

The doc said(re watched it the other night ) it was the purest form of coke that you could get and nobody realized it. They were used to doing it before, just didn't realize they were messing with that pure

Celtics probably win 2 more titles with Bias

they won in 86 the year he died.

In 87 i believe they win again. The starters had to play 44-45 minutes a game in the playoffs because they had no bench and mchale was playing on a broken foot all playoffs.

They probably win again in 88 with bias being the best player on the team.

89 bird fukked his back up and the pistons win that year.

1990 i believe if they beat the pistons in the conference finals they beat portland in the finals

91 - It's MJ's time and he begins his dominance on the league

@Originalman

If you think Reggie Lewis would of somehow stopped Mike from getting 6 rings you are high

Reggie Lewis was nice but he wasn't no all time great legendary player..

Cmon man...

 

[Rekkapryde]

Bruh I heard magic was torching mj in the finals and pippen had to gaurd him for the rest of the series to win

- BlackieRobinson

Magic just kept taking MJ to the post and Mike couldn't guard him. He was too big. Scottie was able to slow him down a bit. That 90/91 LWO team had no business being there. :magicjohnson: took Portland's soul in the WCF that year (who should've been in that Finals again after losing to the Pistons the year before).

Dude I am saying if Len Bias and Reggie Lewis did not not die. Plus I am going by the history of the Celtics always being able to reload up to that point in time. Anyone that knows the history of the NBA one that the Lakers and Celtics always reloaded. shyt them two teams have always carried the league. Hell the Celtics have only lost to one team ever in the finals.....that is to the Lakers. No one else even beats them in the finals.

The Celtics and Lakers are just on some Yankee shyt in the NBA nothing but reloading and getting one sided trades throughout their history. I just believe knowing Red Auerbach and his hustler trades and drafts he would have continued to surround Bias and Reggie with talent. Even with birds bad back getting messed up doing his driveway Bias may have been able to help extend his career.

if You saw, Jordan in college and were cognitive then.
There is no way, that you could have slighted Jordan.

Art Barr

No slight,but nikkas wasn't watching Jordan at UNC saying dawg gon be the best to ever do it,no way.

 

[Art Barr]

No slight,but nikkas wasn't watching Jordan at UNC saying dawg gon be the best to ever do it,no way.

yes, there were.
you act like there has never been no contingent of nikkaz who were ultimately skilled playing ball.
nikkaz in the seventies and early eighties were way better ballplayers and you got dialogue from higher actualized grassroots players.
who taught bball iq and talked/walked just bball iq, alone.
not to mention, could play above the rim and knew what exactly michael jeffrey jordan was and could potential do.
if, drafted in the nba..

as, jordan was that good that he just needed to only be on an nba roster and it would show crazy results.

mike was that nikka, and the perrennial,...
when this guy, MICHAEL JORDAN, makes it to the league...
YOU ARE ON NOTICE,...WATCH OUT.

this was back, when dean shielded his players from being the only guy, too.
that is how good jordan potentially was, and anyone who knew bball and saw him could EASILY see that as well.

Hell nah,nikkas wasn't watching Mike at UNC saying he was gon be better tan Magic or Bird,it's easy to say that now,don't believe that back then

 

[live it to the limit]

That's part of the allure, part of the heroic fantasy to not really know.

 

[MrFettuccinnePockets]

My pops used to say he was better than Jordan

 

[YoungMoneyCashMoneyBoy]

Everybody's "the next Jordan" or better than Jordan, till they get in the league and don't do shyt like Jordan.

Would've been no different for lenny. First night in the league, nikka partying like a rock star and killed himself. Imagine if he got paid. Dude would've been high everyday and out of the league in 3 years.
