We talked last week about how good the ESPN series 30 For 30 is, so I wanted to issue a reminder ahead of time that tonight's new episode, "Without Bias," premieres at 8:00 p.m.

The documentary tells the story of Len Bias' death in 1986 from a cocaine overdose at the age of 22, days after he was drafted by the Boston Celtics as an All-American basketball player out of the University of Maryland. As you can see from the clip above, it includes interviews with the people who were actually with Bias when he died, some of whom faced legal trouble after the fact. I haven't seen this installment, but if the previous four are any indication, it will be well worth your time.

See another clip, in which Bias' mother talks about losing him and getting flowers from Michael Jordan, after the jump.
