Johnny Dawkins On The Late Len Bias

Old men used to talk about Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Before too long, old men will talk about Michael Jordan and Len Bias.

It's kind of hard to believe, but Sunday marks the 30th anniversary of the death of Len Bias.

Bias would be 52 today and long done with his NBA career.

He's become an unfortunate icon now but for those who saw him play at Maryland, he was a complete freak.

So his death came as incredible shock. When the Challenger blew up earlier in the year, that was far more understandable than Len Bias dying.
