I was born in Seattle in 1973, a Sonics and Blazers fan. What angers me about the man who killed Malik Sealy, is that after he was released from jail, he was AGAIN arrested for drunk driving. Goodness sake, you kill a pro athlete in his prime, a father and husband, and you STILL didn't learn?

The most painful of all, perhaps was the death of Len Bias out of the University of Maryland. Although he wasn't ab NBA player yet, he was drafted high 2nd pick in 1986 NBA draft by Boston Celtics. He died of cocaine overdose after being drafted at a party with his friends. Now we are wondering what could have been. He and Michael Jordan would have had a formidable rivalry in the 1980s and 1990s. What a talent Len Bias was! He was a show stopper!

When Dražen came to the NBA he was one of the top players in the world and a European legend already,...of course NBA didn't value European players back then and he was put on the bench,...Ridiculous. And of course - he was considered a ROOKIE. :) (technically he was an NBA rookie, but still)
