I was 21 years old when Bias passed away and I saw him play multiple times and what’s scary is he hadn’t even peaked as a basketball player. He had elements of his game that would have improved with his work ethic and the NBA rules would have unleashed him like it did with Jordan when he blew up his rookie year. I think once he improved his handles he would have been even more dominant. I also feel that Jordan and Bias playing against each other in the ACC and both being drafted by eastern conference teams they would have pushed each other into a era defining rivalry.
Len Bias had a beautiful game and he was so athletic. You can't teach athleticism but you can teach ball handling so Len Bias would have been just fine there. People forget he was drafted by the Celtics who had Bird, McHale, Parish, DJ, and Ainge still. Those great players were beginning to show the wear and tear of so many deep playoff runs in a row and Bias could have taken a lot of pressure of those players with how good he was. We can only imagine how great he could have been with great Celtic influence on his game.
Now I don't know where this guy got his information from,bias was a bad boy,but he didn't dominate Mike in college,he had some great moments,but Jordan was the more dominate player,there was a clear difference,I saw the games,but MJ was the more superior player.
@@stargell6414 IT WAS CLEAR LEN HAD A BETTER ALL AROUND GAME. JORDAN WAS JUST A TRUE 2 GUARD. AND BETTER SYSTEM
He was like a cross between Lebron and Durant
Most def and his mid range game was like KD fasho
Look at their college matchups and tell me how he was ahead.
I agree, Michael Jordan was better than him indeed
I think KG was a thinner, taller version with similar skills... Lenny was stronger and more polished and had a game and body that was NBA ready and would of walked into a wealth of knowledge in Boston which would of had him on the continued path to greatness
Mike Jordan had the Edge on Bias in College , Len Bias didnt have good ball handling skills where Mike could put the Ball on the Floor an take U off the Dribble but Len Bias had a Better Jumper in College then Jordan -
the ACC was a Monster in the 1980's along with the Big East
Thank you! Mj was the superior player.. mj could drive left, could drive right. Mj has to many moves.
Every thing I see of Bias is he shooting by him self, or a dunk
Man Jordan couldn't go left lol his handle was the best but u expect him to have a better handle than a foward bias was the better shooter better post player in which he should be a better mid range shooter bias could go right or left man that jumper he had good lord so beautiful but tbh I would say bias had a better handle for his position than what Jordan did for his position and I'd say he was the better athlete
@@JonathanSites Look Closely at the 1985 - 1986 Hoop Season .. Len Bias at Maryland in College an Michael Jordan with Chicago in the Nba .. Len Bias was a better Pure Shooter then Michael Jordan but Jordan had a More Complete Hoop Game then Bias edge to Jordan
LEN HAD A PURE JUMP SHOT , BETTER REBOUNDER. AND THE MODERN DAY CROSSOVER AND TODAYS.GAME. CAME FROM LITERALLY 3 DOORS FROM HIS HOUSE.
@@kharyvines6971 i Agree with U except the Part of His Crossover, Len Bias Ball Handles was His Weakness on the Court
Bigga Heads Murda Lean Bias!!
Assuming Bias didnt struggle with drugs in his career
Where did he dominate Michael Jordan?! I can’t stand these clowns
USE COMMON SENSE
JUMP SHOT, BETTER REBOUNDER, and GETTING BETTER
@@kharyvines6971 use your own eyes and actually watch the game
Jordan was thebonky player who jeevr had a rival and it always sounded ODD to me to hat YES he was better then everyone else but surely there had to be someone in america that could be nealty as good as him it couldn't have just been MJ vs (insert team) and low amd behold apprantly thos was the guy
Man how much better would MJ have been if he was against someone who jad nearly tue same amount of talent he had
Because of how he died people for decades were afraid to admit the TRUTH- That Len Bias was way better than Michael Jordan. MJ benefited off Bias death big time no doubt. BIAS WAS BETTER. It would be like if LeBron died after the Cavs before he went to the Heat with Wade and Bosh but just signed it but never got to do it. Its pretty obvious had he lived, hed have won a few and been MJ's rival he didnt have because his rival died. Not just a rival. But the ONE WHO WAS BETTER!
No he wasn’t…Len bias was an athletic freak but he wasn’t as fundamentally sound as jordan. He was stiff. He didn’t have the moves
@@MrSPIDEY21 great observation his leaping ability and his mid range game was off the charts better than mj
@@Oth246 yea ok…send me ya plug number
@@MrSPIDEY21 bro n college he was better then mj
He wasn't better than Jordan but he was good tho
He must’ve never heard of Kevin Durant
Durant can score with the best of them for sure, but he does not have the strength, power, and tenacity on both ends that Bias had, and Bias was every bit the shooter, if not more.
Let’s be honest Len f his self ok doing the dope im starting to wonder if he would’ve made it he might have had a big drug habit especially with all the money he would be made fr I bet he was doing coke I bet that wasn’t the first time so sad they cover it up fr just f sad s waste of talent
Len never dominated MJ in college. That's cap
He had huge games against UNC teams. MJs teams were way more loaded. At mi Bias would've been a perennial all star at the NBA imo
Never dominated? You obviously didn’t see him play. Two time national player of the year and carried teams to March victories
MJ was better in college.
Len was younger and had as much potential. Wasn’t the same leaper or defender but had more range than MJ earleir
AGIAN LEN BIAS ,IS A 'POWER FORWARD ' MJ ,BETTER JUMPER TJAN LARRY BIRD 🐦 🐦⬛ BETTER REBOUNDER ,BLOCKS ,WITH AIR LIKE MIKE 3 INCHES TALLER PUT HIM AND MJ ON SAME TEAM 10 STRAIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP 😀 🤓💛🖤🩶💛🖤🩶
@@BATMANZ899 he wasn’t a better shooter than Bird nor was he a better rebounder. Bird averaged 10 rebounds for his career as a small forward primarily. He’s 2 inches taller than MJ, not 3. Didn’t have a handle and wasn’t a great passer. He would’ve been a Dominique type in the league and that’s not a knock. Dominique was a great player
