They need to do more research. Bobby Phils was playing for the Charlotte Hornets when he died in a car crash. It was suspected that he and David Wesley were racing at the time.

When I was growing up, I remember my health teacher and a lady visiting my church giving us "the drug talk" and they both mentioned Len Bias. I'd pretty much forgotten about that, and I never remembered his name until now.
