Len Bias (not Boas) was number #2 overall pick in the NBA draft and was ACC player of the year, would have likely been a hall of famer (will never know now?) but was a flat out phenom!

It has been said it was his first time he ever used, that is up for debate, but autopsy said cocaine was very pure, way to strong for most people!
