That '86 Celtics team was incredible. Bird, Parish, McHale, DJ, and Ainge out front; with guys like Scott Wedman, Jerry Sichting, and Bill Walton off the bench. If Lenny Bias had lived, I'm convinced that team could've run off 5 or 6 titles in a row.

Bias would have been a big boost for that team, but I think it is stretch to suggest he could have enabled the Celts to five or six more titles. Unfortunately, we never saw him play in the NBA, so we don't how good he really would have been. Some people thought he might rival Jordan, but many great college players fall short of greatness in the NBA. I think it is safe to say Bias would have been a solid pro who could helped the Celts win at least 1 or 2 more championships.
