Maybe not alot will remember or even care to read this, Bias I saw his whole career at Maryland, I went to every home game back then , I saw Bias come in as an awkward Freshman at mid season showing signs of freakish athleticism...By his Sophomore year he was getting better by the game, leading Maryland to the coveted ACC Title over Duke...Bias was on Michael Jordan`s level.

I can still see the ESPN break in that Wednesday morning, it was all like a dream, how could it happen?

17 years has passed, time is fu(king flying!

Imagine a team with Bird, McHale, Parrish, and Len Bias....And think of the shit teams we are watching in the NBA Finals this year...

Well one Major difference Len Bias was in no way ready to play pro ball as a high school kid....In fact back then it was basically unheard of . Moses Malone and Darryl Dawkins were the only ones to skip high school...

Leonard (as Lefty called him

) , Leonard didn`t blossom til the middle of his sophomore year...He carried Maryland on his back the final two years of his collegiate career...

This guy was special, on the basketball court anyway
