Frosty

Only Wilbon:
What stuck out to those of us intimately familiar with the story was the use of video of Len Bias himself, days and hours before his death, talking about his career at Maryland, his career aspirations. Video is something we take for granted now because it's ubiquitous, almost intrusive. But there simply wasn't that much of it in 1986. Game footage is fairly rare, interview footage even rarer. But Fraser's ability to secure it must make Bias seem so much more real to people who didn't know his face, his voice, how clean cut he was.
