Upcoming Documentary - “Len Bias: The Legend You Know, The Story You Didn’t”
January 28th, 2008 by PG Chic
The Len Bias story hits very close to home, so when I heard about the upcoming Len Bias documentary (coming April 2008) I immediately told friends and family to look out for the release. It is amazing that his tragic death was 22 years ago. I remember the 1986 tragedy like it was yesterday. I remember the high emotions of Len Bias being chosen #2 in the NBA draft by the Celtics that year, followed by the indescribable sadness after the cocaine overdose that claimed his life. More sad for the Bias family was four years later…the senseless killing of Len’s younger brother, Jay, at Prince George’s Plaza.
There is a trailer of the Len Bias documentary (A Kirk Fraser Film) at the official Len Bias: The Legend You Know, The Story You Didn’t Web site (http://www.len-bias.com/).

I was young, but I remember just how close to home it hit. It’s hard to believe that it has been 22 years.
