Part 6/8:
The conversation takes a poignant turn as Massenburg discusses the tragic loss of Len Bias, a player who, had he lived, could have significantly changed the trajectory of the Celtics franchise. Massenburg firmly believes that Bias would have not only extended the careers of players like Bird but would have created a formidable rivalry with Michael Jordan in the NBA.
Using Bias as an example, Massenburg emphasizes how potential and talent can shape the league, giving the audience a deeper insight into not just basketball, but the human side of the sport. He shares that Bias's presence could have shifted the balance of power in the league and impacted the Celtics' championship aspirations profoundly.
