if Len Bias didn't die prematurely how would NBA history have changed?
Isn't it weird how everything is connected. if Len Bias never bought that drug and overdosed, how different would the NBA have been. The boston celtics would never have been irrelevant in the 90s. And MJ probably would have gone on ringless as a bald headed dominique. Jordan brand sneakers never take off. MJ retires without that constant stream of income. and with his gambling debts goes bankrupt. Becomes a cautionary tale like Anthony Walker.

Celtics would never been irrelevant in the 90s and might've won 1 or 2 more rings but Jordan would probably still win rings.

What if I decided to play Basketball as a career? I am the greatest Baksetball player of all time.
I would have lead a team of scrubs to 3 straight chips.

DC native and Terps fan here. Bias is one of the big tragedies in sports history and ultimate what if. To say him living would have stripped Jordan of his rings and made Jordan irrelevant is absurd though.

Possible that he could have taken a chip or two from MJ.

Bias would've been like the original LeBron, but under the tutelage of Bird and McHale.
The thought of how good he might have been is frightening.

No, Jordan was owning him in college, the same would've transitioned to the NBA. Bias would've self destruct in the NBA with his Cocaine use anyways.

The thing everyone misses about Bias's death is the fact they still would have had the original Boston Big 3, Bias, and this is the big one Reggie Lewis. What most fans that didn't watch that era of basketball don't know is the fact Jordan couldn't handle Lewis at all. He always struggled when matched up against him offensively and defensively. And Boston still would have drafted Lewis since he was little known coming out of Northeastern.

No, yes and no.
Jordan and Bias were basically 3-seasons apart in college. But yes, Jordan would have owned him in the pros like he did to everybody else. And supposedly when he overdosed it was his first time doing coke so let's not say he'd have drug abusing lifestyle. It was a terrible decision when he did it and it took his life.
