Jordan and other athletes warn students about drugs
United Press International
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan, saying he and other athletes want to prevent tragedies such as the death of Len Bias, yesterday warned students about the possible pitfalls of drug and alcohol abuse.
New Jersey Nets forward Buck Williams and former Houston Rockets guard John Lucas joined Jordan to tour 12 Knoxville schools.
Duke star and San Antonio Spurs draft pick Johnny Dawkins later joined the three at a youth basketball tournament. All four players attended college in the South.
Jordan called Bias's death, "very tragic, very sad," saying dreams and talent all "ended in one big mistake."
"I know a lot of you think we are here to preach to you, sound like your mother," Jordan told students at inner-city Austin-East High School. "We're not here to preach to you. We're just here to try to help you out."
"You've lived only one-fourth of your life. You've got three-fourths of your life to go. Do you miss out on that because you did something stupid like drugs and alcohol?"
Lucas, released by the Houston Rockets on March 14 after failing a drug test, said he had two reasons to talk to youths about drugs.
"I have a two-fold position," said Lucas, a 1976 Maryland graduate. "One, that kids don't have to take that first drink of alcohol, which is a drun in our society.
"And the second thing is, for those who have (used drugs) that it doesn't have to be that way any longer, that they have a chance to recover."
Lucas, who entered a California drug treatment facility after he was released by the Rockets, said, "several teams have showed an interest in me." He plans to announce his plans later this month.

pay for using drugs?" Williams asked the Austin-East student. Referring to Bias's cocaine-related death, Williams said, "Your life — that the price you want to pay for using drugs?"
For Jordan, who grew up in North Carolina and led the Tar Heels to the 1982 NCAA title, the anti-drug talks are an opportunity.
"I feel like I'm obligated to give something back to the community."
"It's starting to seep into professional athletics and we are looked on as role models. Some of the positive attitude, or positive respect, of basketball or professional sports is starting to slip away from us. We as professional athletes have to stand up and try to get some of that positive attitude back."
