  • Everyone's excited for the new era.
I'm not sure I feel bad for any player more than I do for Bowie.  Think about it, he'll never be known as the star big man at UK, or the oft-injured journeyman of the NBA, ...

He'll always be known as the guy who was selected before MJ.  Really sad.

Greatly anticipating the documentary.  It's one of the few things ESPN does well.

I used to feel bad for Bowie but after reading this not any more.  He's a liar and a fraud.

Hate to say it, but less so than Bias. Leg injuries aren't a choice, cocaine is.

Doesn't make me feel anything towards Bowie.

Same here. He isn't the first guy to try to minimize an injury.

Color me naive, but what is the deal with Len Bias? Why the comparison with liar and fraud as above?

Wow. This takes some, but not much, heat off the Blazers for taking him over Jordan. Taking surgically repaired tibias over a sure-fire superstar is still incredibly baffling.

On a side note, Bowie actually could have been a great center in the league but injuries killed him.

In different setting (like say, Kevin McHale), playing through pain even when you shouldn't is seen as heroic. The guy wanted to help his family and play professionally. Sucks he never really got back to great, but it's not some condemnable sin.

Bowie over Jordan... Oden over Durant... Brandon Roy's knees

My goodness, it must suck to be a Blazer's fan.

go back a bit further BILL WALTON, boy they had a good team then
Bill in Boston was a very good backup for limited minutes, young healthy Bill was one of the best all around centers to ever play
