“Had Len lived, I woulda retired after the 88’ season.” -Larry Bird.
With two more rings probably.
Every time he went up, it seems like he just KEPT RISING..!!
Wow.
The best I’ve ever seen
Lenny Bias
Len Bias was one of the best players to have ever played for Maryland. His death shocked the Maryland area. His younger brother had so much pressure put on him to be like Len. That he couldn't handle it. Tragic family situation, A mother losing 2 of her son's. 🙏🏽
You could not defend his jump shot. Have you seen how much height he got with that shot ?. It was smooth as glass.
He was an aggressive power forward who could score. His hops were crazy good.
He was 2 years younger than Jordan and there college stats are very similar. Imagine him learning how to be a pro from those Celtic veterans. Unstoppable. 🤔
OMG😬
I have to fact you on two points. Len Bias played small forward, also both Lenny and Michael were both born in 1963, Jordan in February and Lenny in November of that year. Lightning struck place in 1963, it's kinda like Prince and Michael Jackson both being born in 1958.
They can now meet again. Rest in peace Lefty.
Thank you Scott for the transparency of your college experience i worked for sheriff's and saw every home game in 86 Lenny's legacy will always be a cautionary tale to young adults who feel the best way to disengage is through drugs.
He's the reason why I became a Maryland fan..when I did have dreams of college it's where I wanted to play ball had I went
I grew up a Georgetown Hoyas fan, and I have no shame in admitting that Len Bias...from rival Maryland, was, and will forever be my favorite all time player regardless of level.
Great Segment. Bias deserves his flowers 🌺
Maryland student for three years when Lenny was there. That Dean Dome game.
Air Jordan....could you have imagined shoes of "High Bias"? He could so soar....you could not stop him. Had he had a better supporting cast...would have been to the F4 2-3 times. I had the chance to meet him twice...pretty humble actually. Such a tragedy self inflicted.
Len Bias great basketball playing great man and a wonderful friend rest in peace Len Bias ❤❤❤❤❤
He was equal to MJ at the same stages in their careers.Len was about 6'8" 222lbs( chisled) and MJ 6'6" 195lbs( lean).If Len was able to live to his prime 28/29 yrs old.He would've played at around 242lbs considering MJ was about 216lbs in his prime. He would've been LeBron before LeBron with a better J.
Was there with Lenny and SVP, this video is so on point. Lenny was a god, the best I ever saw.
I love Juan and Stevie Francise.. but Bias was so good that most who watched him understand he was a 6'9" muscular version of MJ w a better jumper
SVP so fortunate sir god bless
Will never forget my friend calling me to tell me Bias died. I lived in Eliicott Hall myself the spring of 1979.
Lenny would have been better than Jordan
Love bias... Juan Dixon is my guy and big Wilcoxs
College Greatest player ever Len Bias. If he lived to play in NBA I believe Bias would be the Greatest basketball player of all Times Peace in Blessings
This seems Biased
2129 much respect to the greatest
🐐🍀
Bias and then closely followed by Steve Francis imo 🤔😉😎😷
The best college player I’ve ever seen!!
How good was Hakeem Olajuwon?
I'd **still** take him first in the 1984 draft!
@@MrNaturalSez he was good too ,but Lenny was the ONLY collage player that challenged JORDAN
I saw a college player named Lew Alcindor. Way better than this
OG LOC jordan wasnt the best player in college
KS. Exactly. Jprdan was young and hadn't reached his top pro level.
What happened to the 3-point line... nd when did it became the norm ? I'm 27 so I don't know
first adopted in NCAA tournament March 1987 and the videos are at least a season earlier (Len died in 1986 June).
Mine is Juan Dixon or Stevie Francis
Not my fave, Juan Dixon is mine bc when they won the ACC tournament I made huge bank betting it!!!
Iono. Steve Francis... Juan Dixon
No, Walt Williams is my favorite Maryland player.
Walt stayed!
Walt was good but he was no Len Bias.
STEVE FRANCIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! even bought his shoes...
👍🏼
Steve Blake actually played in the NBA just sayin’
Why remember the biggest bust in NBA history, when he should be forgotten? Move on.
Well I from landover ( where Len bias from) and Len bias is not my favorite player
Firts

Just like the trash character in your pfp
So are you.
