I don't think this is true at all.
Len Bias happened in 1986.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".

Never thought about that..82-0 would've been a possibility
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.Elite TV show. They run this thing into the Shaq and Kobe years and this is easily a top ten show of all time.
