Remembering Lenny Bias

[tagryn]

Over lunch today I jogged to Lincoln Cemetery next door and located Len Bias' gravesite. Not much to it, really; just a simple marker set in the ground. It doesn't look like many people visit anymore. Bias' death was one of the big sports stories of '86, and marked the beginning of the end of the Bird/McHale/Parrish NBA Celtics dynasty.
