Sunday marks the 20th anniversary of the death Len Bias, the former Northwestern High star and University of Maryland All-American who overdosed on cocaine at the age of 22, just forty-eight hours after he was selected by the Boston Celtics as the second pick in the NBA draft. We look back on what some say is one of the greatest tragedies in American sports history. With C. Fraser Smith, author of Lenny, Lefty & the Chancellor: The Len Bias Tragedy and the Search for Reform in Big-time College Basketball and sports commentator Milton Kent.
