WATCH: College Basketball Hall of Fame set to induct Celtics’ draft tragedy Len Bias

A welcome gesture for the tragic loss.

One of the greatest tragedies of modern basketball at any level and certainly among the worst events in the annals of the Boston Celtics was the unexpected passing of former University of Maryland standout Len Bias, who died of an accidental drug-induced heart arrhythmia just days after being selected by the Celtics with the second overall pick of the 1986 NBA draft.

Now, 35 years later, Bias is reportedly going to be honored with induction into the College Basketball Hall of Fame according to a new video released by the popular ABC morning television show “Good Morning America,” which features a rare interview with Bias’ mother.
