Man Derrick Coleman was cold in his younger years! Definitely one of those forgotten great players of NBA

Joe Smith played over a 1,000 games. You have to be a pretty solid player to hang around that long

What's sad about Coleman is he said if he'd of taken his health and life seriously he'd be a hall of famer.

"Iverson stands as one of the most prolific scorers in NBA History" So fun fact: he actually has less total points than Tim Duncan! I know people think Timmy wasn't a scorer, but the fact he has more points than AI or Barkley, some of the most efficient offensive players to every play the game? Yeah, he's ridiculous!

Tim Duncan. His impact on and off the court were done with class and dignity. His example is a good visual that life is always bigger than basketball. Thank you for the presentation.

Larry Johnson's postseason action was the Hornets' first apperance in the NBA playoffs. In the first round, they defeated the Celtics in four games (back then it was best of five), with Alonzo Mourning hitting a buzzer-beating jumper from the top of the key to win the series.

Cover the rest of the 2000's

Joe Smith missed the chance to make his rapper name as Joe Mama lmao

At Duke, Elton Brand led his team to the NCAA final and lost to UConn in 1999, not 1998. The tournament final result in 1998 was a Kentucky victory over Utah.

Good video, I always wondered what happened to all those first picks that didn’t succeed. Nowadays most of our first picks are actually succeeding or getting back to top shape which is why the game is really competitive today.

You didn't mention that Glenn Robinson played basketball for The United States in the 1996 Summer Olympics. I think winning the gold medal was the "crowning moment of his career."

What a good and well-made video! Make another one covering the 2000s

Also in regards to Shaq, he was named the 50 greatest NBA players and the 75 greatest NBA players of all time.

Understand A.I., look at his horrific FG%, He shot a lot and missed a hell of a lot. He had mor 8 for 29 games than any one else that I can recall.

This content is really polished man. Keep it up, you got a serious supporter here.

I can’t get enough of informative nba content on KZfaq and I’ve seen a couple of your videos floating across KZfaq just like this one so I finally subscribed, good luck lol

Please do the 80’s and 70’s!

Just binged all your videos, amazing content and great production, thank you - subscribed, looking forward to seeing more!

I fux wit you!! Born and raised in the big D ! Subbed … time to watch you blow up if you keep up this quality. Need more !!

THE NBA BEEN AROUND 4 76OR77 YEARS IF U HAVE PLAYED IN THE NBA U R TRULY THE ELPHANT IN THE ROOM NO MATTER HOW GOOD OR HORRIBLE AS A PLAYER U WERE U CAN JUST GO ANYWHERE & U WILL BE JUST ABOUT THE ONLY PLAYER THATS PLAYING OR PLAYED IN THE NBA NO CAP

Great video, you should definitely do this for the other decades

Great video once again thanks !Michael Olowokandi was physically ready for the NBA but not mentally he's one of the guys (Andrew Bynum is one of them)who dismissed Kareem Abdul Jabbar 's offer to help him develop his game.Not the smartest move in my humble opinion.Big respect for AI and Elton Brand ,Chris Webber was an awesome power forward .Too bad DC didn't have a better career ,he was a beast with the Nets !

I am a spurs fan lemme tell u a lil fun fact bout Tim Duncan. In high school and college he played center but when he was drafted we still had David Robinson as center so he was moved to PF. An history was made

Keep up the good work bro 👍🏽

Larry Johnson, Chris Webber and Glenn Robinson are pretty good in 2k

Larry Johnson was a monster but that back injury took it's toll on him....he was just a great player

Your posters in the background is the exact GOAT order I have… James, Bryant, Jordan

I love this video good job can't wait to see what's next

Great vid! The 1996 draft rivals the 1984 Draft as was one of the best drafts of all time not only A.I. but Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash), Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Ray Allen, Stephon Marbury, Jermaine O'Neal, Peja Stojanovic, and Antoine Walker. All all stars and 4 MVPs between them.

The 90's were lit!!

Love your channel. Underated 🔥🔥

Great video My Brother keep them coming I missed these days of baseball

Can't wait for the rest of 2000's picks!

Just seen your last 2 videos. Earned a sub brother. Keep this going

Tim Duncan is the best #1 pick of the decade. The next year the Clippers selected the worst #1 pick of the decade. It’s all about timing. The next time the Spurs would draft #1, they get Victor Wembanyama. Again, timing is everything.

The 90s had four HOF players drafted number one, Larry Johnson, DC, Elton Brand, and CWEBB were all multiple all-stars Joe Smith was solid. The only bust, was Michael Olacandy.

Nice Video. DEFINITELY do the rest!!

Joe Smith, yeah, never lived up to his #1 status but certainly not a bust. Had a reputation as a solid, hardworking role player who could contribute anywhere, also if you wanted him on your team just wait a year or two, he will make his way there

Solid Video

I'll always remember Larry Johnson as Grandma-ma

I LOVE THE CONTENT. I LOVE YOU LOCKDOWN K

1. Underachiever 2. Pretty Good 3. Legend 4. Hall Of Famer 5. Underachiever 6. Mediocre 7. Legend 8. Legend 9. BUM!! 10. Pretty Good

I hope you covered the rest I guess I'll find out when I subscribe

I totally disagree about its your overall #1 pick about Joe Smith, if your average career 10.1 ppg. That's about a bust in my book. Especially when you have Stackhouse , Garnett in the same draft. Smith was picked adhead of players for reason.

Didn't know you were familiar with the good ole DFW, just got some extra support from me

Roy Tarpley of Dallas was one dominant player that has been forgotten. Drug problems shortened his otherwise a potential hall of fame career!

Jokic at 41 is some steal what a baller . Do a vid on biggest suprises from the draft like Draymond Green im sure there is plenty besides those 2 but Joker is surly the only franchise player picked outside the top 20/30 picks in the Draft .

Can't wait to see the 2000s picks video! 😃

Larry Johnson was amazing at Odessa College before UNLV. Good videos

i swear i’ve heard that olowakandi looked like he didn’t know how to play basketball in his time in the NBA

Role player as the number 1 pick is wild how do you even get to the number 1 when you are a role player

Big dog also won a gold medalist in 1996 dream team

Crazy that the Sixers acquired half the players on this list. Derrick Coleman, Big Dog, Webb, Joe Smith, and Elton Brand. That's not including drafting Iverson.

love your videos man you deserve sm more fame

Olowokandi?! What the hell is wrong with you 1998 LA Clippers? Oh that's right, you're the clippers.

The 90s the greatest era

I went to Uop when Olowakandi went there and we all felt he should Not have been taken first overall (would Have been better off being drafted by the Rockets or Kicks, Who had a big who could Have helped him Develop

You should do the hour long videos! Those are really good 🎉🎉🎉

You should make this a series like do a decade from a specific era

Webber actually was traded to Golden State for Penny!

Great video! By the way, are you related to DJ Akademiks?

Coleman had better averages then I expected(remember). Grand MaMa... why did nobody flinch back then that was cross dressing. We where like yeah thats cool.

9 month gang

JUST LIKE KENNY SMITH SAID THEIR HAS ONLY BEEN A LITTLE OVER 5THOUSAND PEOPLE 2 WHO HAVE EVER PLAYED IN THE NBA & JUST LOOK AT ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD HOW MANY BILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN THE WORLD WE HAVE NOW LOOK AT NBA ROSTER SPOTS DO THE MFING MATH THEIR NO COMPARISON U TRULY R LUCKY W/ GODS HELP & GOD GIVEN TALENT NO CAP

Good video

Larry Johnson is one of my favorite players of all time.

This deserves more likes

When I hear joe smith name - hello darkness my old friend 😂😢

Talkin about Joe Smith and don’t mention the under the table deal? Or did I miss it?

Tim Duncan's nickname was The Big Fundamental, not Mister Fundamental.

That magic team with penny would of been unstoppable if Shaq stayed and penny been healthy

Johnson and Mourning couldn't be on the same page. Both very volatile and physically talented. Actually, Johnson boxed for five years before being drafted, speaking of Scary Larry.

BUST OR WHAT EVER THE CASE HE MADE IT 2 THE NBA & GOT PAID 4 IT NO CAP

Larry johnson was lebron before lebron. The injuries destroy his carreer and didn't let us watch his real potential

Looking for a vid like this after wemby became first pick

DC could've been the BEST PF in NBA history!!! Dude here didn't mentioned it, but he could run the break and pass it like no other PF before or after (off the top of my head). Nowhere near Magic, but Magicesque (especially for a PF). 1 or only 2 ppl that Shaq acknowledges whom dunked on him!!! If DC had a Kobe or Duncan focus, and stayed out of trouble would've been the NBAs no.1 or no.2 PF of all-time!!! Look at other players opinions of him. (Oh and Webber was a hell of a passer at PF too).

many sports personalities suffer from, self inflated egos, players thinking that they are better than what people say, but many forgetting that they dont play the game by themselves, so the accolades that players achieve, cant be obtained, unless your fellow team mates play. Hence why its a team sport. Problem why there are so many egos, is that sports personalities are paid too much, many of them end up fkn broke anyway. all major sports need to have a salary cap, players can make extras with endorsements, for those who show extra talent, and maybe end of season bonuses. with a cap on sports, more finances can be made avaliable to improve sporting venues and improve growing talents that can be nourished, and maybe we may actually have real sports persons in time to come, even have more persons invested in sports, also maybe a lower pricec on tickets, which will attract even more fans, and possibly more being spenyt on memorobilia, instead of these present day high priced pre-madonnas, who call themselves athletes.

The royal blue Nets DC was the first NBA jersey I ever had. The purple LJ Hornets was the second fiery versatile 4x is what I based my play after 🙌🏾🫡🤙🏾 Super ps and Shaq is a hometown hero. The start of this list is hitting home for me lol

Tim Duncan needs better friends...that hair...bro! Somebody take him aside and say...BRO!

We don’t have to mention AI played for the Pistons ever again

He took a piss outside......ooooooo.......noooooooo

I suggest Brewmaster. Any build.

For Elton Brand, correction: It's not only Shaq & Duncan match his stats...did you forget David Robinson? His still the best rookie performance ever outside of MJ stats wise.

Olowakandi was a success in my opinion due to his situation.

First time hearing about derrick Coleman

Coleman was far from a bust. That word shouldn't be spoken in the same paragraph as dude

I'm a big luka fan. I don't know how Joel embiid robbed joker and luka from that mvp. Definitely want to see more videos as a new subscriber...to more recent times 2010s

Hard to believe Philly passed up on Kobe....who's from Philly

There is a patern here - bad Franchises make bad picks.

Can yall imagine if Orlando kept Shaq and Webber

you would be a good writer for espn or something

W video

Can you cover the classics like the 1980s?

Actually if the Magic screwed up on trading the 1996 instead of trading the 1997 pick because they could have the chance to draft Kobe Bryant Steve Nash or Jermaine O’Neal and that mistake and if that didn’t happen the Magic would have been the one to 3 peat not the Lakers

You gotta learn what a bust truly is my guy.

2073😂😂

IU would show how coleman wasnt too good

Hurry up with the rest of the years!

Dirk went from 6’10 to 7’0? I didn’t know that

Wtf did Duncan do to his hair , damn
