I'm not sure if there was a thread about this already or not, but did anyone wach the documentary the other night on ESPN? I missed it due to the fact thatCox was down in my whole area.

I really wanted to see it though, so those of you who did, how was it? Is it going to air again? or come on video

A weekly special ESPN does about important moments in sports and athletes.

The Len Bias story tugged at the heart strings. Can't take anything for granted.

yea, i didn't really know a whole lot about him and his brother until my mom filled me in like two years ago when she heard Ms. Bias speak at a women'sconference. my mom said it was very moving.

 

[aceofjays]

It was definitely good and sad. I never knew he had a younger brother who was nice at ball and died as well

Great documentary, such a sad story.

 

[jman45]

yea it was a very good documentary.... what was crazy was the stronger enforcement of cocaine laws after his death that greatly increased the prison population

I didnt see the whole thing, but I caught most of it. From what I saw it was very good.

Very sad story. I remember my dad telling me about Len Bias when I was younger. He would always say, "You don't even want to try drugs. Len Biascouldve been just as good or better than Jordan. he tried drugs once and lost his life." I saw a documentary a few years ago about Len Bias that stated hemay have used drugs often. After this doc and watching interviews and highlights of Bias, I believe that was his first time. Especially when his father statedthat drugs were not found in his nose but his intestines. Wow! Could you imagine Bird and Bias playin together? The Celtics would've been a beast for yearsto come. SMH.
