It’s an interesting discussion to have. Bird has stated he would’ve retired in 88’ if Bias didn’t die which would give full reigns to both Bias & Lewis. Do we get a similar trajectory to that of Tatum & Brown ?

I don't really have the perspective on Bias needed to answer this. I know what people said about him.

I loved Reggie Lewis's game and was devastated when he passed. I'd put him near -- but probably below -- Jaylen and Jayson's current level. I wonder how his advance stats (retroactively) compare?

I think it's unclear where we would have been with Reggie, he was great but team not so much. But Len Bias on the 86 world champions, maybe the best team in Celtic history, adding exactly what they needed, a young super athlete, please don't bring this topic up again, it's still too painful.
