Len Bias

High school teams across the country are staging their own post-season dramas, and I was fortunate recently to be a part of championship game activities for Washington, D.C. area basketball.

C.J. Leslie, a sophomore forward at N.C. State found out about Bias from his father, Clinton, in 2008. When C.J. brought up Michael Jordan's name, Clinton said, "If you think Jordan is good, you should see Len Bias."

Maryland's A.C.C. dominance ended after it won the conference meet in 1981. Today, Maryland men's track faces an uncertain future as one of six sports to be eliminated unless it can raise $4.2 million by July 1.

Bias's basketball accomplishments were legendary, and remain so. He deserves to claim a spot among the 200 others in the Hall of Fame.
