Lenny Bias is a member of the Boston Celtics. At the news conference, Red puffs a cigar and grins from ear to ear. He just added the best college player to the best NBA team ever. This was the kid we wanted all along, he says. One year shy of 70, Red has a realistic chance to dominate the NBA for four consecutive decades. It's a foolproof plan. Bias saves the legs of the Big Three (Bird, McHale and Parish). The presence of the Big Three allows Bias to develop at his own pace. Bird will teach Bias everything he knows and, eventually, pass the torch to him. The Celtics will keep winning and winning. Lenny Bias will lead the way. Lenny Bias is the chosen one. That's the plan.
Two days later, Bias is gone. Cocaine overdose. And when he meets the press later that week, for the first time ever, Red Auerbach looks like an old man. Little does he know that the Celtics will never be the same. Or maybe he does.

Nothing's fool proof.If he didnt die and just had an average career nobody would have been shocked.

True. He's also the guy behind drafting Joe Forte.
The Celtics have certainly not been the same since, though.

Reggie Lewis was a great pick. Some other have turned out to be good players, just not for the C's (Billups, Joe Johnson, etc.).

They basically(the owner did) chose Pitino over Bird when Bird was still involved.That opened the door for Bird to go to the Pacers and forever closed the door to any type of historic celts dynasty that could have developed.

Red did not check in upstairs. I heard his punishment was eternity spent watching Pitino "highlights" on blue ray DVD's.
