Len Bias?
I thought he just spontaneously crumpled... that was an overdose?
I think you're thinking of Hank Gathers, the Loyola Marymount phenom. Len Bias did a mountain of coke a couple of nights after draft night.
As Bill Hicks said:
See, I think drugs have done good things for us, if you don't believe me, do me a favour - go home tonight and take all your albums, all your tapes and all your CD's and burn em; cos you know what? The musicians who made all that great music that has enhanced your lives throughout the years?
Rrrrreal f*&^ing high on drugs.
I love the fact that the Bill Hicks quotes are flying around all over this site lately.
