The legend of Len Bias

There have been thousands and thousands of college basketball players. They’ve come in all shapes and sizes — you’ll find 5’2 point guards and 7’6 centers. Some have hailed from the same town as the school they played for, while some have hailed from across the world.

Plenty of these players have enjoyed dramatic or emotional moments that leave indelible marks years later. Some have become the stars of their team, or the top players in their conference. A select few have become household names but across the country. And in especially rare instances, a player has become appointment viewing every single time out, captivating communities along the way.
