I love Red. He reminded me of my grandpa.
Yes, he's honest and straightforward.
He's honest and straightforward.
Wow Bob Costas is really callous about a tragedy.
I felt the same thing. And this from a man who Carrie’s Mickey Mantle’s baseball card on his person. Mantle was great but also drank himself to death.
@@written12 Costas grew up idolizing Stan Musial and Mickey Mantle, not Len Bias.
Costas is conducting an interview. He's not getting so emotional because it's not his place to do that, and he's a professional. We used to call that 'journalism' back in the day.
What he did not know was len bias friends were co conspirators in his death. Friends don't let Friends overdose.
How many times we heard of this, "guilty by association."
That's not what I say. I say, friends don't let friends have friends.
Hah! Yeah the "let him" OD. Only guarantee in life is that there are no guarantees. Tomorrow is never promised. I dont think there was a conspiracy, your entitled to your opinion however. His freinds lost a great freinds and person, probably a bit of a winning lottery ticket and won a lifetime of scrutiny n shame. Doesnt sound like any kind of winning proposition to me......
@@itsmeitstruedefinitely a conspiracy break the story all way down you’ll see
@@itsmeitstrue very well said.
And the fact is , young men are often damn foolish. One night’s pleasure cost him his life, took him away family and friends
The best team manager ever.
Red is right. Especially back in those days how would they know? All they could go off of is what they personally observed about him.
It would have been scary what could have been...
Bro was asking dumb questions and was really getting on my nerves
Definitely not a one time thing
We're you there when it happened,if not then shut your dumb ass up
Assassination
Len was doing coke since age 16
@@willdavis6502explain
@@bnegs521 No, he wasn't! Idiots like you provide no proof! If you knew anything about coke, you would know pure or close to pure coke can be extremely dangerous first time users or those who don't use it often.
Shoulda drafted Chuck Person. Bias was doing coke from age 16
In my humble opinion, Larry Bird in Boston was a fix job. The league wanted Bird in Boston. The Celtics and the Lakers are the leagues flagship teams. Everyone knew Bird's talent. It was not a secret. Indiana didn't pick him? What's that about?
Boston gambled and took Bird a year early. They could have lost him if he didn't sign and went back into the draft. Other teams could have done the same since the Celtics had the 6th pick in 78. Your conspiracy theory is absurd.
@@chuckkirby2708 I don't think it was a gamble. I don't think it would have been a gamble for Indiana to draft him. It might have been for the other four teams ahead of Boston Seriously, do you think the league didn't want him in Boston? Do I really have to explain it to you? Marketing. Branding. A rising tide lifts all boats. All that stuff.
@@anonymike8280 to your point in a 365 day span the NBA got Hakeem in Houston, Jordan in Chicago, Barkley in Philly, and Ewing in New York to go with Bird in Boston, Magic in LA, Isiah in Detroit and Dominique in Atlanta.
@@PoliticusRex632 Sure built up the major markets. There was Chris Mullin with Golden State also. Took him a while to come into for though.
@@anonymike8280 Why wouldn't it have been a gamble? If Bird doesn't sign, you lose him completely. Bird barely made it to Boston as it was. If memory serves me properly, he signed with days, not weeks, to spare. Teams weren't nearly as willing to wait on a player in those days as they were a decade earlier when freshman weren't allowed to play varsity and it was much more common to see players wait.
If he goes to celtics you get more rings instantly... they gave up sharp shooters . Wiedman was best shooter on team and had other point guard ... needed to keep them and bias ... get a sabonis center. I think he got killed to stop Celtic domination for next 3 years... imagine new superstar plays offense defense bigger jordan type.. keeping bird fresh and McHale. Any way ... lol. Probably overdosed or poisoned set up ... talking corporations investments and future history of NBA. He was clean man. Could of ben c I a corp rufee drugged. They all died . Lol. Very fishy man.
I dont think its that deep, id like to believe it wasnt his fault but most likely he befriended the wrong person and made bad choices that led to his death. Still wish we got to see him play in the nba, it would have been nice ti have another superstar rivaling jordan, would of made for entertaining games.
You lost nothing, Red. Len lost his life. His family lost a son, a brother, and a friend. Irrelevant what you lost.
A GM loses his 2nd pick overall is nothing? No, he lost a major asset - in ADDITION to everything you mentioned.
That angle has been done to death, at some point it's alright to look at it from a basketball perspective.
💯 met u on the panel
@donaldgoingsreloaded
Len was overrated. Jordan was way better.
Len bias was bigger stronger. He blocked beat jordan up. Changed his shots ... ben his nightmare. Probably killed to stop celtics dynasty. My thoughts or evil friends. Lol.
@@cowpoke02 And that is why Jordan is better.
Of course. You’re talking about just pure potential of a 21 year old. Nobody knows how it would’ve turned out and you can say the same with Jordan at draft day.
But if Bias even turned out to be an all-star, there’s no denying that impacts the Lakers, Pistons and Bulls as the Celtics likely continue winning into the early 90s. Their main weakness after 86 was athleticism and depth and Bias would’ve given them that.
Jordan is the GOAT because he grew tough from the Pistons battles. But if he continued to lose into 92 or so, they’re breaking those teams apart and his trajectory becomes different.
You haven’t a clue of what you are talking about. I was 21 when Bias died and I saw him play many times and he was the real deal. Super athletic, great shooter, fierce competitor, jumped out of the gym. Jordan did not peak at 22 he got even better as time went on and Bias had not peaked yet either. It’s a question that will remain unanswered.
Bias explosiveness and his mid range game was deadly offensively he was mixed between lebron and Kevin Durant all doe I still think bias was his own prototype and I guess he would have been a more efficient Dominique Wilkins
