The story of Len Bias is perhaps one of the most tragic in all of college and professional basketball history. Described by many as one of the greatest players to ever hit the college basketball scene, and with skills on the court that rivaled (if not surpassed) those of his ACC Conference-mate Michael Jordan, he never quite got the chance to shine on a professional level.
