Len Bias was the most unfortunate. He had just been drafted by the NBA champion Boston Celtics and would have been a very important part of their continued success. One bad decision ended that opportunity before it even got started. The Celtics never recovered from that tragedy. That group of players never won another title. The rival Lakers had their back to back and then Detroit did the same. After that, the Bulls dynasty took over. By that time, the Celtics core players were too old to compete and beat the more talented Bulls.

Drazen Petrovich dying just as he was hitting his peak years remains, in my mind, the biggest single tragedy in the history of the NBA. A great, hardworking competitor who was the best pure shooter I ever saw. RIP Drazen.

I love how everyone goes insane over Kobe dying to this day while bill russels death wasn’t even spoken of which was recent. Honestly sad

We don't know how old Manute was.
The handlers who brought him over made up his age. Rumor has it he may have already been over 40 while a rookie.

[anthonybanks]

Still incredible, I know we ALL get old but I watch most of these guys play, & to see pro athletes die just like non-athletes is something....
We ALL have to do for OUR to age better & longer....

[tyronewills]

So unreal to see Kobe up there... but also mention Anthony Payne from my hometown Dayton Ohio who was murdered...

[TeodoroAlmonte-djsk]

I feel really bad when Kobe just died :(

[TheRealKnightRaider]

Kobe's death still huts hard but also remember when Hank Gathers died in the middle of the NCAA tournament back in 1990 I believe.

[trevinschaerr]

A lot of deaths via heart when it comes to basketball players shows how much that particular sport overworks your heart.

[thomasadler]

Such a sad list ☹️ You could also add Eddie Griffin.

[MediCali]

Was Bison Deles case confirmed to be murder? We all know his brother killed him but the case is still cold I believe since they will never find his body

[brandstradamus]

Len Bias could have been a basketball immortal. 😢😢😢
