Frosty at 60

Since the day Len Bias died in 1986 Boston Celtics fans have agonized over what could have been; there's really no reason to keep doing it other than yesterday would've been his 60th birthday:

“Had Boston got Len Bias, and they played against us, they would’ve beaten our a– every time,” Michael Cooper said. “That’s how good Len Bias was. Len Bias was a better player, or just as good a player, as James Worthy. This kid could jump out the gym, could shoot a jump shot, run the floor, block shots with the best of ’em. Had Boston got him, it would’ve been hard for us to beat them. I don’t think we’d ever beat them again."

McQueen added, “… it’s easy to picture Bias becoming a fixture of 80s Black Boston. It’s likely he would’ve graced billboards all over the city and, much like Lewis, made his presence felt at the Boys & Girls Club, the Roxbury YMCA, The Shelburne Center and Washington Park,” Boston’s answer to the famed street basketball court Rucker Park in New York. “We would have claimed him. White Boston certainly would have claimed him. The Bad Boy Pistons may have never gotten past a Boston team with Bias. Hell, the Maryland standout could very well have whittled down Michael Jordan’s championship total. It would have been beautiful. Ugh. What if?”

It's all just such a bummer. Also not great? This:

Boston coming off a year in which the 66-16 Celtics won an NBA title.

The Celtic won 67 games that year, motherfucker.
