Rewriting Celtics history with Bob Ryan: WHAT IF Len Bias and Reggie Lewis lived?

from NBA History Story Tellers on CLNS · host Nick Gelso, CLNS Media

On this episode, Bob Ryan and Gary Tanguay play a game of 'what if?' Bob theorizes how good Reggie Lewis and Len Bias would have been had they not tragically passed away. Bias was an All-American star at the University of Maryland who died of a fatal cocaine overdose on June 19, 1986, just two days after being drafted to Boston. Reggie Lewis, the captain of the Celtics, tragically died of sudden cardiac death on July 27, 1993, during an off-season practice at Brandeis University.
