Review

every generation needs a story like this – local boy makes good only to ruin it for himself at too young an age. the positive spin is that people learn from his well-publicized mistake and downfall (len bias was a great basketball player who ODed on cocaine shortly after being drafted #2 by the champion celtics). the result is that his one death saves the lives of many others who choose not to turn to a life of drugs because they saw what it did to their hero. some are smart enough to learn from the mistakes of others. unfortunately, most people are egotistical, solipsistic, hubristic lemmings who insist on making their own mistakes. have fun, morons.
