Man.. 27 years? Wow

<---
Fuck a sig, my presence is enough.

Obviously never saw him play but recently re-watched his 30 for 30 (one of my top 10 favorites if not top 5) and to see how SO many people were affected by his death, and especially the drug laws...

.

Fuck a sig, my presence is enough.

but I heard coke and first time (oh, good ol 80's drug propaganda, how I miss you) and never touched the stuff.

now in hindsight it turns out that wasn't the case, however his death *might* have prevented me from ever getting mixed up w/ coke, and for that I'm grateful.

so tragic.

and has the nickname 'Frosty' if this was his first rodeo.

However as a kid that was certainly an effective scare tactic.

used drugs before" angle, that was just trying to paint him as a good guy after he died. People like to fantasize about what could've been with his career but the reality is if he didn't die that day he probably would've washed out of the league due to drugs and still been a "bust" like other members of that draft class.

so it seemed pretty simple to swallow along with the whole campaign (tho I was adept enough even at that age to know I hated Reagan, wrote a scathing commentary in class on his support of apartheid & supported Mondale in the '84 election as an 8-year old once he beat Jesse).

But yeah, when the stuff came about a couple years later & I read the SI with the stories about the end of Lefty Driesel's era at Maryland I remember thinking 'wait a minute.....and why is his name Frosty anyway?!?'.

Then when I got old enough to grasp exactly how much cocaine 'a bag the size of a baseball' consititutes & it becomes ridiculous to think this was a 'let's try it!' type of purchase.

They could have kept their whole campus high all weekend with that but instead they huddled up in a dorm room with three of them.

Okay, players.

and then a little bad management as well. The C's had the worst record the year Duncan came out and ended up with the 3rd and 6th picks instead. At the same time the previous owner was a sorry mofo. I mean it's not just the deaths but that's about 10-12 years of possible successful basketball being wiped out right there.

i was 4 in 86.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

Scared them into never trying it?

It was a sad time with him and Reggie and the decline of the C's. Who knows what would have happened, but he certainly had the skills.

crazy too because you look at the top seven or eight picks there, you've also got tarpley, washburn and bedford, all guys who survived but basically bummed out because of drugs.

as a result, the second round had as many successful players as the first and actually had more stars. the worm, mark price, hornacek and duckworth were all all-stars, i believe. only daugherty and harper were real deal stars in the first round. pretty sure sabonis was selected that year, but obviously didn't come over for another decade damn near.
