William Bedford came through for his first-ever VladTV interview, where he opened up about growing up and hating basketball before he was in high school because everyone kept asking him to play because of his height. By high school, William started playing basketball and was such a success that he got a scholarship to college and later joined the NBA draft. William then spoke about being in the NBA draft with Len Bias and being shocked at his untimely passing just two days after the draft, and going to rehab to avoid suspension. During the conversation, William spoke about getting into legal trouble while playing in the NBA, and later being sentenced to 10 years. To hear more, including William speaking about his time in prison and how his life has been since getting out, hit the full interview above.

    I only met William once at our home in Detroit, he was with my brother and Bill Merriweather ( George's high school coach and best friend of the Big O). I am glad to see William doing well all these years later, survival is the name of the game.

    I had a newspaper article with him on the cover. He was in his Piston's uniform on top of a blue Mercedes. I think it said something like "Sitting on Easy Street."

    William Bedford is a true MEMPHIS legend I remember when he came to my school Oakshire elementary when I was in the 4th grade to see my homie Anthony Smith who was his lil cousin or nephew I can't remember but he had to duck down to come in our classroom door mane we went crazy cause he played for MEMPHIS STATE back then I shook his hand and I had to look straight up mane he is a real giant and I was the tallest kid in my class, I only grew to be 6'9 but I'll never forget seeing him and shaking his hand as a kid. I coulda went pro but I got shot in south Memphis and f*cked that all up once I got better I went to the Marine Corp. All young athletes please stay away from the street sh*t cause it will ruin your career completely. 💪💖💯
