Site rank 5, IMDb rank 6; Overall Score 11
Directed by Kirk Fraser
University of Maryland prodigy Len Bias was hailed as the second Michael Jordan. He was picked second in the 1986 NBA draft by the Boston Celtics, the reigning champions. The basketball world was stoked at the prospect of him pairing up with Larry Bird and the rest of the Celtics team. The hype surrounding him was through the roof. The rest of the Eastern Conference was in dread. Two days after the draft, Len Bias died from a cocaine overdose. Kirk Fraser’s film explains why Bias is considered one of the greatest players that never played in the NBA.
