Omfg after watching the last dance this had me laughing out of my house xD
I saw Len Bias' mother speak at Norfolk St. U . She said that after Lenny died, the first flowers her family received were from Michael Jordan.
His mother, what a woman. What she went thru (2 sons dead) and to use all that pain to help others. She's a saint.
Reggie Leak Paying homage”RESPECT”
Len's mother spoke at my church shortly after Jay died. One of the strongest women I ever seen.
How he die
@@thehoward4026 Cocaine overdose. He was celebrating being drafted to the Boston Celtics. Sad day my friend, sad day.
Larry Bird said, “I felt comfortable retiring and handing the reigns over to Len Bias when we drafted him.”
He for sure could have been the rival Jordan needed
@Repent cultist
@@clintholmes2061 *"cultist"* A cult is an organized structure with a leader that exists so that the cult leader can manipulate and take advantage of others for his own personal gain. E.g. Heaven's Gate, Jim Jones' commune, Scientology. This is just an example of a misguided spammer who embarrasses Christians.
@@bricaaron3978 All religions are cults. "A cult is an organized structure with a leader that exists so that the cult leader can manipulate and take advantage of others for his own personal gain." And Christianity is the richest of all cults. They are doing better than all others at getting "personal gain."
@@clintholmes2061 *' And Christianity is the richest of all cults. They are doing better than all others at getting "personal gain.""* It seems like you are confusing the ideology of Christianity with the organized religion of the Catholic Church. That's the only way that your statement makes any sense.
As a true basketball fan. I appreciate the effort it took get some of this rare footage of Bias and Jordan in college!! Excellent historical commentary and perspective!!
I remember those games...and the shock and devastation when Bias died.

Can we just take a moment to acknowledge how much digging and research JXMY does in each of his videos?
Probably one hour and a half of research. Do you know how much I do when I study photography? Around four hours a day.
@@soullessSiIence very very cool story bro, wow, 4 hour days must be so hard for you lmao
Nah, I just wanna watch this free video. I will give a pre-like on the video tho!
“Around four hours a day” *engineering and premed students have entered the chat*
he always puts out high quality videos too
"He was too much to handle" No better words to describe MJ.. MJ highlights are always so amazing. Guy was just so special..
"he was too much handle" of course on that particular game Jordan was too much but it does not mean that Len bias is easy to handle-he scored 16 points so jordan and team mates can not easily handle len bias. words can make one so superior like saying that Jordan is too much to handle. if it is true. Jordan could have scored hundreds or even 50 points in that game.
I once heard Len Bias’ mom deliver a sobering speech in person on the pain of losing her son and while encouraging all young people to NEVER do drugs. With tears, she told us one time is all it took for drugs to take her son’s life. So tragically sad…
Person blinks: Jordan: So that lit a fire within me.
😂😂😂
This going viral
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is basically every interview with Jordan in The Last Dance 🤣
That's the attitude you need to be the greatest at anything. Constant work day in day out needs a fire that never burns out

I'm not a basketball fan, but I am a high school teacher. The research, editing, composition, and narrative presentation of this is excellent. Really impressive.
The fact that anytime Jordan really wanted to win & prove a point he did says that there was never any real comparison.
No, it proves that Jordan felt threatened. As he SHOULD HAVE.
Yep Bias on the Celtics would have derailed MJs Career. MJ was like Bird without a Magic. Or Wilt without a Bill. Bias would have took a few of those championships MJ won.
@@beetlejuice4357 All whole of “ifs” and hypotheticals. He maybe couldve, he maybe couldnt, he maybe wouldve joined the Bulls later, he maybe could sufered a career ending injury. Who tf knows.
@@irishgrl No, it proves that Jordan proved a point, showing he was the better player. AND HE WAS.

Why couldn't he stay alive?

This would've been fun to watch
MJ would have dropped Bias Len not trying to be rude but truthful

My dad would talk about Len Bias all the time when I was growing up. Such a tragic story 😢
Drugs ended his nba career
MJ highlights are always so amazing. Guy was just so special.
That audio when Jordan says “he was a threat but being compared to him... I took offence to that” was an audio clip when he was talking about Clyde Drexler 😂😂 I see u Jimmy
Yep #SpotOn
Lol I think most people know but it’s nice he used that edit It suited the vifod
Yes. Makes us wonder how Jordan felt when next to len. How and when did he decide to be the goat
I see you too
yep but he said offense
Len Bias will always be one of the NBA's biggest What If's.
And Jordan’s dad rip
Jessie Carrillo no
Colonel Gibbs wdym no
Colonel Gibbs how do u know u can’t just say no without this man even playin a single game in the nba
Who was that guy that was Like Cool with Carmelo they Said Was ranked higher than LeBron I Think But he stopped going to practice and got fat
I like how you cut in that quote where MJ said he was offended to be compared to “him” and made it seem like he said that about Len Bias. Lol! He was talking about Clyde Drexler when he said that.
Jordan just had it all. Otherworldly talent, intelligence, and the will power to succeed and always improve. You cant beat that, you can only hope to match it.
Absolutely. You would need A LOT of all those skills to become what MJ became. I mean to be as good as MJ you better hope to have all that and more, that's how good he was. He also had the ability to out work anyone. He worked extremely extremely hard his whole career. Took basketball very very seriously, and was always trying to get himself and his team to improve.

11:48 After 10+ minutes of hearing how great Len Bias was I was beginning to wonder why I had never heard of him. Such a shame that he died so young.

@@marcsman07 not funny grow up
"...being compared to him, i took offense to that..." I believe this was when MJ was compared to Drexler prior to their Finals series in 93. Wasnt about Bias.
Yes that was very disingenuous
it's not accidental or disingenuous, it's very obviously a joke lol
Agreed. Misattribution
I have always knew Michael Jordan was the man before the world did. Being I lived in Raleigh during that time. I say him play as a Freshman at Carolina...I was a fan then, and until he left basketball...Best there ever was.
I'm still a fan. The guy's a class act.
Kid: Finishes water before Jordan Jordan: And it became personal so I dropped 35 on his head

35 in the 1st half

Everyone makes fun of Jordan for that but it’s literally what made him so great
ari_ Games24 haters gonna hate
Jordan: Patrick Ewing ate all my beans so I took it personal and dropped 50 the next night
Lol 😂😂😂😂😂
More like, I slipped on Patricks sweat on the floor, so I took it personal.
Watched both those games. Will never, ever forget when MJ stole the ball at the end and busted out the cradle wind mill dunk. You could tell MJ was really special but that just floored everyone.
My brother and I think that's the best in-game dunk of all time, college and pro. He clears the entire block. Loved the reaction from the play by play guy too 😆 "Did you see that, holeee cow!"
To be fair. Michael Jordan was a very, vary good coming into college ball. But, his game accelerated over the next few years in a way that was unimaginable. By the time he got to the NBA he was just on another planet. And then somehow just seemed to get better and better until he got bored and went to play baseball...
Yeah, right ... "bored." Ha ha!
More like illegal inside gambling that was swept under the rug if he retired first.
That clip of Jordan saying "i'm not saying he wasn't a threat, but being compared to him.. I took offense to that" was talking about Clyde Drexler in the 92 playoffs.
Yes that is messed up they spliced that in.
Yeap he thought we wouldn't notice. It was in The Last Dance.

I remember when Boston drafted him and all the talk was the system is rigged . And being a die-hard Lakers fan with Magic Johnson I actually almost started crying because I knew like everybody else knew ...the Laker dominance was over and our most hated team ( Boston ) with Larry Bird was about to crush EVERYBODY for many years to come. Think.....Michael Jordon with all his accolades out of college (Championship etc. ) joining Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics. That's how big it was at the time....people just don't know how good LB was and how much a dog ( in a good way ) he was.
Do you know I scoured through everybody’s comments until I got to you you know the truth my father was a diehard basketball fan better than the commentators knew every name every jersey every player he didn’t need to see a number my father knew you by the shape of you😮 like my father always said if that man would’ve never died NBA and Michael Jordan would’ve had a hell of a five years to catch up to the Boston Celtics and their career crushing team that’s why Larry Bird and Michael always had their problems because Michael could never admit that Len bias was just as good and more electrifying
@@kennyg3192 These people have no idea how that man was huh....and thanks for your time in finding this post. Me and you are definitely on the same page. Much Luv Big Bro
@@sexxxcblac i’m born and raised in Baltimore. I played AAU basketball for Cecil Kirk just one season but I played other competition basketball to I was 17 years old and I was charged with a shooting and I lost out on a four-year scholarship to play baseball at Ohio State. I was class of 98 at Mergenthaler vo-tech high school., my names in a paper for playing baseball. If I would’ve never got arrested, I’ll probably come and hang on something different in my body probably would’ve been athletically born and still living in every day instead of me being a construction worker.!!! but the best thing of everything and out of everything I never forgot where I came from even if I was 1/8 of black and the rest of them is nothing but Irish in Blackfoot Indian I come from a very colorful family. My son is also of a dark skin and he can get a foot over the rim but he’s only five 10 1/2, I hope he grows this year. He’s going to a camp down in Carolina nothing like Michael Jordan Lenny bias. I miss that man just watching college, knowing what he was going to become knowing what he made it to and that’s why I say you know God takes all the good ones and let’s these other ones shine so they can tell a magnificent story of a great career.!!! that’s why they say God works in mysterious ways. I just wish someone in mysterious ways didn’t devastate people and their families and set others off onto a wrong path in life. God bless you brother and take care of yourself stay out of that rearview mirror, bro always look out that windshield I remember race cars don’t have rearview mirrors for a reason because their journey is to get a cross that line at exceptional time. Our life works in exceptional time and patience when we balance them both out that’s when we call progress and success, no color with anyone’s skin is no one can take away sheer devotion and dedication. It’s been proven.
@@kennyg3192Going one step further... How much wear and tear on Bird's body wouldhave been saved by having another natural small forward of Len's caliber on the team? How many more team configurations Casey would have used? Go small and run. Go big and stuff. Stack the the shooters, etc. And I wonder how much more we could have gotten out of Legend. Celtics championships?
@@knightxd4 bro, we can make our own commentator on this and bring so much revenue from views and comments, Brother they just don’t understand how bad the great white hope, and how many totals him and Lenny what they would’ve done together and how many titles they would’ve repeat it see people don’t realize the last year why Jordan went to the pros because Lenny bias came hard that following year, and he knew he was going to the Celtics and I know you know he was going to go somewhere else first and the Celtics took him because him and Jordan were battling two of the best and Jordan was a year ahead of him Brother you got it I could not have said it better
I was a Duke student from 1982-1986. Len Bias was, and remains, the best college player I've ever seen. With all due respect to Len's teammates, he CARRIED the Maryland program at a time when the rest of the ACC (Duke, UNC, Virginia, NC State, Georgia Tech, etc.) was stacked. Further, had he not died tragically, the Celtics surely would've had another two or three championships. If you never saw Len play in person then it's hard to understand just how much of a talent he was.
in person anything is often next level, what you can observe, what talent is evident and the big picture... thanks for sharing, my Dad always spoke of Bias, someone I never witnessed
Ofcourse you woud say that Bias was the best college player because its in your manual " TO HATE UNC" where Jordan played.
@@alfa_romeo55yush82 I don't hate UNC at all. Why would I? But I've seen A LOT of college basketball in my nearly 60 years, and Len Bias was the BEST college player I've ever seen.
@@AlfredCMartino Ok sweet. I figured since the two schools were on Tobacco Road you hated each other. Did you ever come across Brian Benidict the soccer phenom at Duke?
@@alfa_romeo55yush82 He started at Duke the year after I graduated. During my years there, Duke had a number of great players: Johnny Kerr, Tommy Kain, Mike Jeffries -- all Hermann Award winners.
It seems like MJ and Len Bias was supposed to be the next Larry and Magic

Young_huncho 1 Jordan didn’t overdose 10:05
Im gonna act like i know whats going on but i definitely dont know whats going on
itzsizahere Len Bias overdosed on cocaine the day he was drafted
Man...MJ's fundamentals were just PERFECT. His control - the way he squares up to the basket no matter what situation he is in.....just amazing. We don't see it now
Coaches were real coaches back then. If you were showing that you were not striving to be fundamentally grounded, no matter how much of a freak athlete you were, you couldn't get on the court with the starters. These young guys today think it's all about athleticism. Check out Luka Doncic. Dominating with pure fundamentals.
That's is the main reason Lebron can't ever measure up to the GOAT. No matter if he plays for 15 more seasons, surpasses every record statistically, and win 10 more rings. He still wouldn't come close.

@@plusmagnificent Well color was recently invented by James Color in the 50's and they had to test it on video footage before applying it to real life.
@@LifeChangingPicks Simple color film processes started in the early 1900s, popularized by the mid 1930s and were in wide use in motion pictures from about the 1950s on. Most of what we see in this clip is typical of the chemical color process at the time. Probably one of two that were widely produced by Kodak
It would have been the Celtics and Bulls rivalry in the 90's. Biggest what if in NBA history.
And the Celtics running on he rest of the '80s..
@vrtxte No Len Bias is a much larger what if then Derrick Rose. Atleast we got to see Derrick Rose play and win an MVP and so we could see the if. Never got to see that with Len Bias.
For me is... What if Kobe and Shaq got along and never separated?

Great video and unbelievable research and effort into making this. As a diehard Celtics fan, I was, as all Celtics fans at that time, on a natural high after the Celts won the 86 title knowing we had the #2 pick in the draft and we’re gonna get Len Bias, the Celtics future of winning 3 maybe 4 in a row over the Lakers was the most beautiful time of my Celtic life so to speak. Then the news we all couldn’t believe, Bias was gone at 22 yrs of age! So heartbreaking for his family and friends and then the hopes of another Celtic dynasty surpassing the Lakers was also DEAD!!! Even tho we got to finals in 87’ the Lakers were the better team and if they had had Bias Celts would of swept, just the most agonizing and awful tragedy in the world of sports!! Bias had so much potential, he would of been right there with the GOAT!! RIP LB
That was an excellent video! I always knew MJ was the GOAT, but LB died 86 when i was just 18. Great to see him and this documentary. What a loss to the NBA, back when it was g00d. THX for the video.
That's actually so sad I was like hmm since he went toe to toe with Jordan how come I've never heard of him and saw he died before playing, really hits hard, imagining his legacy, and the player he would become
We'll see them hoop together eventually, fam. He's practicing with Kobe as we speak. They're in good company :)
It's hard for people who weren't alive then to understand how much Len Bias' death shocked and changed the sports world. College basketball was more popular than the NBA back then and Bias was a star. In the aftermath, every college and every pro sports league started aggressive drug testing. It also helped those wanting harsher prison penalties for drug dealers to get legislation passed.
@@sporemaster97 lmao, he is hooping naked with covid, up in the big blue.
@@njebei OK back then College Basketball was popular back in the 1980s. 40 years later things are a little bit different for 2022
It might once again become more Popular now for the 2020s.
Everytime I watch a video regarding Len Bias, I get emotional. I lived about 10 mins from him, he was about 4 years older than me and I can remember like it was yesterday when the news broke about him passing. It was like a weird fog of silence, sadness and disbelief over just about all the ballers in the area. It took a while for that "fog" to lift. It's hard for folks who weren't born or very young to appreciate just how good and fun to watch Bias was. I'm going to say, at that time, he was just as good as Jordan and may have been better had he lived. But I'm sure I have a great deal of bias, no pun intended. RIP/RIJ (rest in Jesus).
Bro' some did not even realize how good Jay was at the same age, the only negative out of Landover Mall was his death..Peace

As a Maryland student I was at Cole for almost all of Lenny's home games. What an amazing player and person, just a nice guy to everybody. Check out the height Lenny gets at the 11:30 mark. Thank you for making this video, it brings back a lot of great mermories, and one terrible one.
I went to Maryland for two years, the last two coinciding with Lenny's last two. How fortunate we were to see such greatness on campus and with the loaded ACC competition in Cole Field House. It's very difficult for me to talk about him without being overcome with emotion, and I'm a very stoic person 99.7% of the time. I got choked up watching this. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing this.

Lolol Lolol the point he’s trying to make is that no matter what you guys think Bias was not on Jordan’s level and couldn’t go toe to toe with him. Micheal Jordan who played against him multiple times said as much... he basically said he was good but nowhere near as good as him (MJ)
Takes an audio clip from Last Dance about MJ's comparison to Drexler during the 1992 Finals, inserts it to clip about X rival of MJ. Kinda unnecessary (and cheap), was even mentioned in the slide with the comparison to Drexler that MJ took offense, practically hinting that he used the same Last Dance bit even if you hadn't noticed it before. Great video otherwise though. Thank you for the comment 3 & D.
NO ONE, moves with the fluidity and grace of MJ.
Excellent man really enjoyed that. My two favorite players of all time. Nice work!!
At 9:02, Jordan's quote, "I'm not saying he wasn't a threat..." is actually from an interview regarding Clyde Drexler.

How in the hell did the Celtics have the #2 pick after winning the championship?
Red Auerbach, the Celtics' president and general manager, had dealt guard Gerald Henderson and cash to the Seattle SuperSonics for the pick in 1984
Jonathan Blaze damn, that would have gone down as one of the greatest deals ever. Kind of like Divac for Kobe.
Sons Of Arkham ... The Lakers had the same deal when they drafted James Worthy after winning the 1982 NBA title with the #1 overall pick.
@@jonathanblaze1648 they didn't have the ping pong ball lottery it was a great trade if what happened didn't the Celtics would have at least 2 more championships raw talent
Its called trading deals.
Jordan is an incredible human being. I absolutely love the guy because he is as intelligent as he is gifted athletically. He influences kids that look up to him to stay in school and Mike let's folk's know that God made human beings to do great things. Mike is a National Treasure. Thank you Mike your influences have helped children pursue greatness and success all over the world. Mike has earned every penny of his wealth. Thanks Mike you are loved.
Beautiful mini doc. Great work my g.
I hate that Bias died so very young. What a talent lost. I remember when he passed. It was like the whole world knew it had been robbed.
Michael said he didn’t just want to beat you, he wanted to make you doubt your ability to play the game!
And then came John Rogers. :-)
Sounds like low self-esteem.
Hahaha, Len Bias made MJ doubt himself. Len was his kryptonite.
Lmfao
@@crispa1861 Wrong! Jordan beat him more times than Bias beat Jordan
The research is next level man, excellent video - I had no idea 👏👏👏
MJ is one of my favorite players all time. But I have always wondered how his greatness would be perceived differently if he had not had his two closest rivals die so young. RIP Len Bias and Drazen Petrovich.
Well maybe a little at first. I mean even in college MJ was great, but he improved a lot by the time he was on the bulls. No one had any idea college MJ would be anywhere near as good as he turned out to be. When he was a freshman and sophmore there were many college players better than him for sure. By the time he was in the NBA and had come into his own and shown what he could no could ignore it. I don't care who was in the NBA, if Jordan was playing like he was, everyone would take notice as the did. Very very sad what happened to BIAS. There is a chance he could have been a top ten player in the NBA in his prime, maybe even better considering his talent.
Thanks for making such a great video that showcases the greatness of both Lenny and MJ. I played against Lenny on a playground at Central High School in DC in '78. 3 on 3. And it was intense. We were the same age, end of 8th grade. Lenny was the first guy to ever dunk on me - shoelaces went by my face. Great player but even better person. His competitive fire was off the charts, too.
It would've been refreshing to have had two insanely talented ballers who were also great guys.
Man I'm 58 former b baller. I STILL GET TEARY EYED THINKING ABOUT LENNY. HE WAS THE REAL GOAT !!!
@@workin4alivin585 You mean 1. MJ has some serious shade in his rearview.
@@doubletake1238 Don't hate on how he lit his fire on the court. When did MJ do something bad off the court? Like he said he was taught to play the game that way by his elders, "If you don't want to play that way, don't play that way...." Nuff Said.
@@coreyharrell9079 It is pretty much an open secret his father was killed by bookies for MJ not paying his gambling debts. He likely bet on his own games too. He was an awful teammate, see Rodney McCrae. Also, my buddy's dad was a Chicago detective, they knew plenty about his criminal contacts. Best player ever? Maybe. Dirt bag? Definitely.
I attended the five-star Camp back in 1977. That's where I met Rick Pitino. Rick Pitino is the best coach in the universe you taught me so much at the camp. I wish I played when we had a 3-point line. Who knows what I would have done I could have been a Steph Curry LOL
that is so cool did anything else happen and when did you go???
@@LILBLONDY 1977. when I return home after 2 weeks at the camp I was a different player. 5 star camp was the best
Whats the most important thing you learned?
yo don,t forget mike furtello, chuck daily, dean smith, jim valvanio r.i.p.
bobby knight , indiania
Very well done video, thank u JXMY! I never heard of Len Bias until now
Good watch! great trivia! Michael's mentality during high-school and college prepared him to be the GOAT!
I love the legend of Len Bias. It's cool to know someone once lived who could have rivaled Jordan. It's the type of stuff that keeps the generations dreaming big.
There was one more called the Goat they made a movie about him.
Very solid work on this video. I’m glad you stay neutral and don’t let opinions in the way of facts. Thank you for this piece.
Bro when did you GROW soo much??? Amazing my dude. Congrats I cannot wait to rise like you as quickly and higher to share what I LOVE to do with the WORLD too.
As a die hard Celtic fan from the 70s, 80s, and 90s that Len Bias still hurts us to this day.
Don't forget Reggie Lewis. That combo would have been very good. There is a game on here somewhere where Lewis blocks something like 3-4 of Jordan's shots.
@@richardwinckel383 Even with those blocks, MJ still averaged over 30 against Lewis but it would have been very interesting to see Bias/Lewis vs. Jordan/Pippen.
As a Celtics fan. Hearing how good Len Bias is. breaks my heart:
as a Marylander it broke mine. i was only 9. never forget that day
reports claimed he had no signs a habitual user would show. He spent a night hanging with the wrong people that night. the amount in his system adds up to possible poisoning from "friends" trying to do him a "favor" whomever gave it to him in whatever form can burn in hell
It's been decades but how beautiful it would have been 😭😭😭
Yup.
JIMMY I SUBSCRIBED TO YOUR CHANNEL SOME TIME AGO. BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I MADE A COMMENT. YOU HAVE PUT A LOT OF EFFORT IN DIGGING UP INFORMATION ON MJ . I AM FROM CHICAGO AND NOW I AM GLAD I DID VISIT YOUR CHANNEL. THANKS
GREAT WORK MEN, WE NEED TO DIVERSIFY MJ SPIRIT IN ALL DICIPLINES ...
If Len Bias ever played for the Celtics can you only imagine how many rings he and Bird would have had? That team would have dominated.
Leonel Lomas Imagine if he played for the bulls
M Johannesen and Ron Harper
Imagine if peds were never invented. Would there be 82 game seasons and would it be as enjoyable to watch?
@MANCHESTER UNITED F.C The dieheart Western Basketball lovers. That say F soccer will have to die off first. This is the wildcard variable to your equation.
@MAN UTD what does your comment have to do with anything lol soccer is some boring ass shit🤣 except for when yall try to kill each other after the game
it’s always a good day when jimmy uploads
YvngJude yes I love his voice
big fax
His vids are such a vibe
That athletic jump from a college freshman to a sophomore is HUUUUGE!!!! I experienced it in baseball, it is truly incredible!
Tim A. Guys don't get to make that jump now in college basketball. They come in expecting to start and then the next season move on to the NBA. Star freshman back then weren't even thinking about starting. They were hoping to get some playing time.
@@beaujac311 Agreed!
I'm very glad this channel grow up from nothing to almost 2 million. Been watching since 2017.
Michael Jordan’s athletic prowess was always upfront and wonderful, amazing to see. The talented, competitive, virtual superhero of a player who seemed to defy the laws of physics. But he had another side that many people never got to see. His kindness towards young kids, especially the disabled fans who came to see him play. After having 5 girls my Uncle and Aunt Ron and Jane Axium decided that they were called to adopt or foster 4 disabled kids. The first was my cousin Christopher. When Chris was adopted doctors told my aunt and uncle that Chris would never walk, might never talk clearly and would almost certainly die before 25. That was in the early 80’s. My aunt and uncle brought in half the neighborhood to pattern Chris, move his arm and leg muscles in ways that would increase nerve connections, help speech and coordination and hopefully extend his life. It worked. They did everything they could to mainstream and give Chris great experiences. One of those was taking Chris to Bulls games. By then MJ was a superstar and an amazing phenomenon to watch. Beauty in motion, top of the world. But somehow, he noticed the families with disabled perks and got to know them. Chris was 4’8? Jordon towered over him. But he especially liked these kids who showed such raw adoration for him. He got them great seats, near the team, so he could see their reactions, gave them signed posters and basketballs and on one special day gave Chris a full Chicago Bulls Uniform complete with shoes, socks, trunks, shirt (#24) and a personally signed basketball. For as long as I can remember whenever I walked over to their house, Chris was outside in uniform dribbling that ball. As time went on his coordination got better and better and he eventually took drum lessons at a music shop around the corner which would have stunned those early doctors. Of course, Chris is a wonderful human being who I admire for his joy and love of family. Here’s the thing though. In all those years in Chicago, I never saw a press release or story about Jordan’s acts of kindness to Chris and young fans like him. He had an impact on Chris’s life and transferred some small part of his drive to Chris. Enough so that one chilly fall Chicago night while Chris was sleeping on the back porch, “camping out” which he liked to do. He woke up when a disturbed kid who tried to set a number of churches on fire also, set their back porch on fire possibly because the kid was cold. Chris heard the back doorbell ring because the flames of the back porch working their way inwards and shorted the wires ringing the bell. This woke Chris, who rather than just running out the front door in panic, woke up his parents then his sisters and brothers upstairs. They all got out of the house literally seconds before a flash back from the open back door engulfed the interior of the house with flames. The kid with Downs Syndrome had saved 11 people’s lives that night. How much of that was enabled by Jordan’s kindness? I don’t know. Much of the credit goes to his immediate family and the many dozens in the neighborhood who volunteered helping to pattern The 4 adopted and fostered kids. But he certainly didn’t hurt.
Thanks for taking the time to share this
This is a very beautiful story my friend. God bless you and Chris. This made my day.
R.I.P Len Bias he died 2 days after he got drafted. TBH he would have been a Rival of MJ
I doubt it, so many great players looked weak compared to MJ, so I don't see a difference with Bias.
Bias looks like a Dominic Wilkins/Shawn Kemp type player which Jordan reign over.
Would have been great to watch. MJ was quenched in his first rounds of playoffs by the Celtics. Bias would have been the leash holder or reduced. Guess we'll find out in the Metaverse.
Speculation@@jemalguillory
This is such a great video. Jimmy, you are the GOAT.
The good thing about watching this is that you are inspired by these athletes, that's why I also played basketball
This reminds me why MJ is the GOAT. He played both ends. You dont see that type of hustle in todays game.
That’s not true. It’s different rules now than back then…..hand checking was allowed.
Giannis won MVP and DPOY in the same, season
