I don't think this is true at all.

Len Bias? The Knicks, the Giants...it was massive in the NFL, Mets, Rockers & R&B singers, wrestlers, entire cast of SNL, actors/Hollywood (especially child stars), the comedians...all had a number of known cokeheads. You'd see random pictures of folk and assume that everyone else in the pic was into it as well. Plus, I always heard the phrase "wild parties" or "likes to party".

Len Bias happened in 1986.

This is 1979.

There was the Pittsburgh cocaine trials as well, but superstar athletes largely weren’t seen scum bags until gossip blogs popped up in the early aughts.

One of the best examples of this, to this day, is Julius Erving. Man was allowed to shyt on his ex wife in that nba tv documentary despite him fathering a girl who would make the Wimbledon semis (Alexandra Stevenson).

Man also had an 80s era sex tape out on the market. Dr. J had/has a pristine image.

Actors and rock and rollers were the ones we associated with scumbagery.

Elite TV show. They run this thing into the Shaq and Kobe years and this is easily a top ten show of all time.
why would they do that? nothing special about the shaq and kobe years besides snitching and infidelity. They have a truly polarizing story with the magic HIV thing and all the party stories. The lakers as a whole was interesting from ownership to players. Plus the up tempo playstyle was something new.
