Its great watching these old drafts its like traveling back in time with future knowledge

excellent quality of video for being 24 years ago

JR guarantees the '94 Slam Dunk crown the night he's drafted, and he followed through.

Still is and up to now my favorite NBA player, PENNY HARDAWAY!

The Penny stat: Needs more weight.. Nah he did fine. So called "experts"

That ovation when Webber gets picked! :)

For those questioning Orlando trading Webber for Penny keep in mind Orlando traded Webber & got Penny back PLUS 3 more additional 1st Rd picks. That's a great return. Plus Shaq & Penny played together on the set of Blue Chips & Shaq LOVED Penny's game. Here's his exact quote taken from an interview with both of them....."I was adamant to [management], I said, “Hey, if you don’t get this guy, my deal is up and I’m going to look to do different things. So help me help you.” I knew what Penny could do. They listened to me. It was the right thing to do.". That's your answer. Shaq wanted Penny, not Webber. 3 additional 1st Rd picks was icing on the cake.

PENNY HARDAWAY 16:44-21:50 Penny Hardaway traded to magic for Chris Webber 29:00-32:48 BOBBY HURLEY 42:24-45:40

It’s awesome to relive these things man. To see them then and to see how they ended up is pretty cool. Penny!!!!!!!!! Love me some Penny!!

1:52:25 Lmao "Gheorge does not speak English, but I'm think he would understand the international applause"

God damn crime that Nick the quick wasn't a 1st round pick

Sad to see them bring up Reggie Lewis' heart condition when he would die just one month later.

1:01:30 I KNEW that Luther Wright would NOT pan out!! In 1993, my friends and I got SO many Luther Wright cards when we used to buy Upper Deck, Topps, Skybox, Hoops, it was SO annoying, because we knew the card would be WORTHLESS!! I HATE Luther Wright!!

Bobby Hurley..still my personal favorite college basketball player ever

1:27:00 Remember, I was born in Seattle in 1973, and a Sonics fan. I KNEW that Ervin Johnson would pan out!!

Love to see Hubie Brown. One of my fav nba play callers/commentators.

As far as Penny/Webber there was a debate simply because in Shaq's rookie year Scott Skiles was very good. Listen I know he's NOT Penny but he avg 15.4-3.7-9.4 vs 3.4 TO and shot over 46%. That's damn good at the PG position. Now Orlando's PF? Revolving door next to Shaq of Tom Tolbert, Anthony Bowie, Jeff Turner all stiffs. Webber would have given them a lineup of Skiles-Anderson-Scott-Webber-Shaq. Keep in mind Orlando didn't go to the Finals until they fixed the PF position by signing Horace Grant. Now he liked to shoot from 15-18 so he fit nicely next to Shaq but who knows maybe Webber would have developed his game around Shaq and fit.

Stern was the best at selling draft day trades. Classic!

I was fortunate to be there. Thanks Stoney and Wojo. What's your beef contest winner. Took my coworker Lionel. He was very happy to go as well.

LOL at the talk of Magic taking Shawn Bradley at 1 or trading down for him at 3.

Shaq and C-Webb would of been a devastating front court

Lindsey Hunter was called The Isiah Thomas of this draft.He average 26.7 ppg while in school at Jackson St and he put up insane numbers like 45 vs Kansas 48 vs Illinois 39 vs Connecticut in the NIT in overtime.

When the NBA was real

Penny Hardaway: the most athletic Point Guard I ever saw. More than anyone else in this draft, he was the one who had the greatest opportunity to be one of the all-time greats. That Orlando Magic team was a ton of fun to watch, as well.

the pop for webber - wow !

I LOVE BOBBY HURLEY & HIS BASKETBALL GAME SKILLS That he brought to the NBA LEVEL!!!!!!!!

WOW!!!, did not know Rider was thought of that highly.

1:31:00 I called Sam Cassell "A Sleeper." I KNEW that he would pan out!!

Webber was a beast

C webb number 1 pick at home 🍾🍾🍾🍾💯💯🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌

Webber PF Rodgers PF Baker C Bradley C Johnson PF/C Mashburn SF Burrell SF Rider SG Houston SG Hardaway PG /SG Cassell PG Hunter PG Cheney SG/SF Lynch SF Blount PF/C That's a solid 15 man roster you coulda put together with the first rounders alone

Talk about team management: Webber for Penny and 3 future 1st round picks. I really felt like that Orlando team was going to dominate the late 90's. Funny how things played out. They came close but it just wasn't in the cards.

So sad when they start talking about Drazen

1:21:00 I KNEW that Chris Mills would pan out!! (remember, I was born in 1973 in Seattle, a Sonics and Blazers fan, to show how old I was when this draft occurred)

Chris webber dad is like son I'm rich , I'm rich, I'm rich! I don't have to worry about money ever again!

76ers lets draft a player who hasn't played in 2 years yea lets get him smh

Shaq Chris would of won 2 Championships they would of had great chemistry in and out of the locker room with three shooting guards wow

Hubie Brown is an awesome commentator and analyst

1:11:20. So Randy Moss DID play in the NBA.

How the hell can the 76ers draft someone at number 2 who hadn't played in 2 years? Oh, he's 7'6", now I get it. Did it work? Of course not. His notable career moment? Space Jam. Says it all.

They traded Webber because he and Shaq would never co-exist properly. Shaq was caping for Penny to come and then started to feel some type of way because Penny was attaining a celebrity that was rivaling his. He won championships with Kobe and still had beef with him and even had problems in Miami. That's with Shaq being the main man on those teams and with those guys being guards. What would happen with Webber in the paint right with him and fighting for boards and the ball right with him. They would've been intriguing to watch but I doubt either Shaq or Webber remain with the Magic past Shaq's free agency in 96.

C Webb: a superstar that is not mentally tough Bradley: being outplayed by other 7'6'' players like Yao and being dunked on by hundred of players Hardaway: a poor man Magic Johnson with injury Marshburn: very good car dealer Rider: had a chance to become Vince Carter but wasted himself with wrong decisions Cheaney: from my school, go Hoosiers! Hurley: an injured Steve Nash Vin Baker: a less athletic and alcoholic Anthony Davis 😂😂😂

@ 6:28 - 6:35 C Webb and Bobby Hurley chat...I wonder what those words were...but either way it was sportsmanship (thumbs up)

Nobody expected a two-top dream with Shaquille O'Neal and Chris Webber in Orlando. Webber and Penny. The lightning trade was a surprise.Later it became clear that it was Shack who suggested Penny's magic.

I really thought Jamal Mashburn would have had a tremendous NBA career for at least a decade he was an incredible player not a bad NBA player

What a GREAT man, Gheorghe Muresan! He should be an ambassador for the NBA, to European NBA players.

This is definitely one the biggest "what if" drafts. Webber,Penny would have been 1st ballot HOF'ers (Think Webber will at least get in in the next few years) if not due to injuries .Then guys like Allan Houston,Bobby Hurley also should have had much better careers but didn't due to an injury bug.Then guys like Vin Baker,JR Rider and Van Exel should have had much better NBA career's if not for personal issues. Rider is a guy who could put up 20-25 one night then was not even good enough to be on an NBA roster the next.

Orlando got a kings ransom for CWebb

Stern got more respect from the crowd then Rodger Goodell does today lol

Shaq ruined Penny Hardaway's career by leaving Orlando... Think they could've achieved a lot more than with Kobe... Tod Atkinson If the draft was redone, I'd have said Webber gone first, Penny and then Mashburn were the best 3 in the draft, but this draft was pretty damn deep and it was deep for like the next couple of years after.

12:54 They did Shawn Bradley dirty 😂

As a Sixers fan, very few will forget the bust which was Shawn Bradley...

I miss this crew on TNT. Bob Neal, Hubie and Doug Collins

Almost teared up for a sec with the ovation for webber

1:13:00 I KNEW that Scott Burrell would pan out!!

Alot of folks thought Penny Hardaway was going #1 cuz of Shaq big mouth running around saying that Orlando is taking Penny, that's who he wants to play with.

Is it an indictment that both Acie Earl and Evers Burns ended up playing with the Sydney Kings at a time when they changed imports almost as often as I changed underwear.....

What's the name of that song playing when they were talking about toni kukoc

Huge mistake in my opinion to trade Webber for Penny. Not that I think Penny was a bad player, far from it in fact but Shaq and Webber would have been incredibly difficult to stop in the NBA back then.

RIP David Stern

Nick van excel 2nd round...😂😂😂 all he did was play 20yrs , and some biiiiiiig shots

50:00 I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. My GOODNESS, Doug Edwards was a BUST, and I KNEW that he wouldn't pan out!!

59:00 I KNEW that Greg Graham would pan out!!

This was Reality TV before reality TV. I cannot imagine how insane would Orlando Magic fans have reacted to trading Webber for Anfernee Hardaway (he was a projected top 5 pick but like at 4 or 5, not Top 3)

Shawn Bradley gets Ric Flair's theme😂

WHAT A STUD!

Then they sold themselves short with Gugliota

Nice!!!!!

Chris Webber was chosen first by the Orlando Magic and play along side with Shaquille O'Neal,but that didn't last long he was traded on draft night to the Golden State Warriors for Penny Hardaway

How was the fact that Shawn Bradley hadn’t played in two years not a gigantic red flag?

The NBA Draft Hats now💎💎💎 #VintageCap #Sline #SportsSpecialties

Luther Wright.....all that strength and skill in a 7'2 frame....all wasted due to cocaine ...kinda like Chris Washburn in the late 1980s this was a big man who could have been something special if he just didnt have a 5 cent head on his shoulders. Yeah he had battled weight also....but this was a guy who came out of college early because he had problems that was known about ....the Jazz took a gamble on his vast potential in the first round because they needed a big man to take heat off Karl Malone inside.....and Wright would have been that man if he didn't do like many players in the 70s and 80s and spend his rookie salary on drugs the moment he started getting paid...the Jazz knew it was a gamble...but once it was obvious he was back using and for sure had not beat his drug addiction the Jazz dumped him and because of his reputation for drug problems going back to his high school days no other team ever gave him a chance after that. He is homeless now....which is sad....this guy had talent not just 7'2 and this was a generation where if a player had that kind of size and could really play he could dominate....I always hated players like Luther Wright when I was growing up for wasting their talent...now that I know that to this very day Wright like Chris Washburn in North Carolina did also...ended up homeless and walking the streets looking for a fix...it all just makes me sick to my stomach...I feel sad...not for the players like them who wasted their God given talent and wasted their potential hall of fame careers or at least a long NBA career and they wasted it to ghet high and be a street walker looking to steal for drugs.....its just a waste and the fans of their generations are the real ones who got cheated....this guy could easily if he just half way lived up to his potential would have made a giant difference in Utah for the JOhn Stockton and Karl Malone team that needed a little more push to win a title....If Wright had not loved drugs more than his basketball talent....he would have been a giant upgrade over a few years later draft pick named Greg Ostertag the Jazz made still looking for a big man to help Karl Malone inside....Ostertag would have never even been drafted if Wright just had stayed clean. and Wright was a good enough offensive player inside to have been a weapon there as well as defense shot blocking and rebounding.....Ostertag was never anything but a shot blocker who half the time wasnt even interested in playing. Utah fans and basketball fans of the 90s were cheated thanks to Luther....therefore I feel no sympathy for him as he walks the streets still looking for a fix and still homeless to this day......he did it to himself it was the life he chose to live

55:00 I did NOT know that Rex Waters could dunk!

Where’s the rest of the draft? I didn’t get to see Nick Van Exel get picked. I wanted to see his strengths and weaknesses.

All-time NBA what if!! Webber and Shaq next to each other with Scott skiles running the point with nick Anderson and Dennis Scott

You could hear a pindrop in that arena waiting for Stern's trade announcement lmao

What happened to picks 9 - 14 ??

I dont think Bradley’s body was built to maintain 7’6”. 300 pounds was never going to be a possibility for him. But he remains the coolest draft pick we’ve ever seen.

@8:55 IT'S LIKE HE KNEW BEFORE IT HAPPENED HAHA

4:49 1st Pick

I like how they showed Dallas’ record, and under “needs” it says “quality talent”. In other words, they really sucked. 😂

What if Philly picked Penny Hardaway? History would be so different

Penny!!!

Faaark poor Bobby Hurley..sad to see his career not live up to its potential due to the fuckwit that smashed into his car

penny my man

I really wish Penny could have stayed in Golden State and Webber in Orlando... looks like Shaq didn't want Webber on his team and things didn't work out for Webber in Golden State but Hardaway could have done well in both places. Plus, looking at that class, the Pistons could have had Nick Van Exel or Sam Cassell but settled with Lindsey Hunter, they could have had either Van Exel or Cassell with Alan Houston which could have been great.

Man, Tacko Fall would’ve been a lottery pick back then

Luther Wright only play 15 games with the Utah Jazz before drug and mental health issues. Look up Luther Wright on KZfaq.

1:09:00 I KNEW that A. C. Earl would pan out!!

What did Bradley do in the two years prior to the draft to propel him to the number 2 pick?

To bad the golden state warriors traded Chris weber

Do you guises remember that Doug collins is the 1st pick in the 1973 nba draft selected by the Philadelphia 76ers

Notice how David Stern didn't get boo'd ? Roger Goodell doesn't know the feeling.

Was the NBA the first who had the drafts in arenas? The NFL took notice for sure

1:26:50 Ervin Johnson, first round sleeper

Acie earl

Tim Hardaway and Chris Webber never played together which was a shame #gsw

1:31:00 what's with the overjoy, Mr. Commissioner? :)

wow, Golden State got jacked.

@ 1:31:00 close your ears Knicks fans...
