Wasn't he more than just another athlete?

Or so the 30/30 makes it out that way

Not 6’8” guys with his athleticism. Bird was going to go to rookie camp to develop chemistry with h8m.

He was a beast. He was a bigger and stronger MJ. He would have been what Lebron is like now.

Same... it was earth-shattering shite at the time. I remember it well and I was only 9 years old.

Who has died of that stature that we’ve shrugged our shoulders at?

Apparently Len Bias is equivalent to a backup soccer player in a Serbian soccer league. Because that’s the “famous” sudden deaths that make “news” now

Yep, his death ended my use of drugs. It scared the hell out of me.
