The man probably posed too much of a threat to the illuminati and their plans.........they didn't want someone to upstage the man from North Carolina...........Mike J.........nor the best White player ever........other than Pistol Pete................who died playing one day........Larry Bird.................it was too much for the illuminati, who are mostly white men....................so they did what they normally do when someone poses that much of a threat to them...............took them out.......
The same with JFK...........they probably even liked JFK............he was actually a war hero.......pt boat commander in WW2..............got a medal..................served as a senator...........even was Irish and from Boston...........but with helping the Blacks...............and meeting face to face with Dr. King...........AND he opposed our entry into the Vietnamese civil war...............that was just too much to them...............................................they did not want Larry Bird to be upstaged by a player on his own team....................................................rest in peace Len Bias...........I am Biased too.......
The Death Of Celtics' Draftee Len Bias, 30 Years Ago, Still Resonates
The Celtics were ecstatic with the addition of Len Bias, but the No. 2 pick died of cocaine intoxication right
On June 17, 1986, the Celtics drafted Len Bias from the University of Maryland with the No. 2 pick in the NBA draft.
He was supposed to team with Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish to bring home more titles. By all accounts that likely would have happened. The Celtics were coming off an NBA championship year, winning for the second time in three seasons. Bird had said he would show up at rookie camp because he wanted to play with Bias.
The Celtics made it back to the NBA Finals in the 1986-87 season, losing to the Lakers, despite Bias never playing for them.
Two days after being drafted came the shocking news that Bias had died. The draft was on a Tuesday. He died on a Thursday, June 19, about 12 hours after returning from Boston. A medical examiner eventually listed the cause of death as cocaine intoxication.
The news, of course, stunned the basketball world.
Just two days earlier, Red Auerbach was all smiles, having drafted the player the Celtics wanted. The player he had known for years.
"He's going to be a star someday, no question about it," Auerbach said the night of the draft. "He can play – period. That's where it's at. In fact, he's ready to play now. And he wants to play here."
Then came that fateful Thursday.
A story in The Courant the next day by former Celtics beat writer Peter May said the team switchboard was "abuzz with calls about Bias," and that the team receptionist went to Auerbach's office. She did not go in. "I thought it was a death in the family," she said by the way Auerbach looked.
Auerbach had been close with Bias, who worked at his summer camp. "I had my eye on him since he was a freshman," Auerbach said. "His whole ambition was to be drafted by the Celtics."
The Courant also dispatched reporter Ken Davis to Maryland after the death. He spent time at the Columbia Park Recreation Center, just a few blocks away from where Bias lived with his family in Landover, Md.
The final two paragraphs in that story are chilling all these years later. There was a press clipping and photo from the Washington Post inside the recreation center.
"He died," said a boy, about 8 years old, pointing to Bias' picture. "He had a heart attack."
"No," said the boy's friend, about the same age. "It was those drugs."
