Scott, our CEO, sent me an email that I wanted to share with everybody. 

Kirk Fraser is making a documentary about Len Bias, the late University of Maryland basketball star, and Celtic for a day.

You can find their website at http://www.len-bias.com 

There's not much on the site yet, save for a few-minute trailer, but they describe the documentary like this:

The most ambitious, comprehensive and uncompromising account of Bias' life and death is revealed in an explosive documentary, featuring interviews with his closest teammates, friends and family. For the first time, we hear first-hand accounts of what transpired during Bias' final hours from those who were with him at the time of his death.

His heartbreaking fall from grace changed the game forever on the court, where many considered him to be Michael Jordan's closest rival, and in the courtroom, where generations continue to face the harsh punishment of the nation's drug policies that were influenced by his controversial death.

I'm not going to wax poetic about Len Bias and what could have been.  If you want to learn more about Bias and how it effected Celtics Nation and Sports fans alike, check out Bill Simmon's great article, "Still Haunted By Len Bias" over at ESPN.

Like I said, I just wanted to pass this along.  I'm not one for opening up old wounds, no matter how deep, but It doesn't look like they're going to try to turn Bias into a villain.  It's too early to tell how this will turn out, but at the very least it's cautionary tale for everybody, and a story worth telling.

"You can never tell how things are going to play out, but I'll tell you this: When you're playing like we did in those days, you don't figure on getting a kid like Bias. He was a terrific player. . . . I would've had him and Bird as my forwards. . . . They would have been great together." - Red Auerbach
