Don Nelson doesn’t get enough credit. He was behind drafting Dirk for the Mavs and Steph for the Warriors. It’s a shame he and Webber couldn’t compromise or come to an agreement on his position. It’s weird to trade all those picks (and Hardaway), when you take a guy and force him to play a position he wasn’t comfortable with. Golden State paid severely for this. Not only did they lose Webber to a trade after just one season, they blew up the entire roster, and still lost Nelson as a coach. It took another decade+ before they were relevant again (Ironically Nelson coming back)… and to add to the craziness, Webber ended his career (with Nelson) at Golden State. Frustrating they couldn’t make it work. They won 50 games with Webber in ‘93 - a 16 game win improvement from the previous season. Warriors were loaded. And then dismantled.

30+ years later and the NBA still hasn’t figured out how to properly do the hat on the player that is going or has been traded. Sometimes - I understand it’s still in the works… like this trade. But when a trade has been made, they shouldn’t have that player wearing the hat of the team that traded him. It happens 10+ times every year and it’s awkward.

I would be so mad if i got drafted and traded on draft night. Rather just play the whole way through rather then a year hear dealing with new coaches new teams.

I wonder what Webber did with Magic hat?

I was actually here when he performed . I was attending nccu that year (freshman in college) . I’ve been a fan of Cole since HS tho

Wow what a crowd!!

And the Sixers selected Shawn Bradley #2. They could have easily done the same thing as Golden State and ended up with Webber instead.

Why play that gay/stupid music ocer the video? Seriously, why?

We need u back 😎😎😎

Great job screwing up the video by playing music throughout the interview segments. Less is more

back to comment.... all time scoring leader 👑🐐

DOPE!

Trade rights for 1998 which was Vince cater. 2000 was mike miller.

Penny apparently had the greatest pre draft workout of all time. After seeing that, Orlando just had to draft him. Although two mobile bigs in Cwebb and Shaq couldve been an epic pairing, never seen before, that would dominate for years to come Penny was crushed by injuries but you always wanna draft a guard + big combo instead of 2 bigs. So that was it. Plus his pre draft Magic.* *Kobe in 1996 really crushed his pre workouts **Darko in 2004 may have been among these 2, when Joe Dumars was watching his workout he couldnt believe what he was seeing. Such a skilled big rarely came to the league.... unfortunately he was a fool and his basic skills were in a 18-year old spoiled brat not ready for the real world. Cant blame him though, that is tough for any player to go through

Weber was pissed 😤

Orlando made a brilliant move! That team was special, sad they couldn't keep Shaq happy.

About to trade Penny back to Golden State on 2k and Simulate and trade Timmy

Wish Shaq had stayed in Orlando, but he did what was best for him. The league was at it's height during this era to me. Not shunning the Magic-Bird era though.

Shaq was crazy upset when hearing that Orlando took Webber he wanted Penny.

Over the ENTIRE legendary Celtics’ frontline and he nailed it. There’s clutch performers, and then there’s Ervin “Magic” Johnson. 🪄 🎩 🐰

One the best too bad the NBA wouldn't let him smoke herb. They shouldn't of tested him or any of the players that smoked herb. There was some good stuff in the 90's. Still is but mid 90's herb was kinda a turning point for herb. Jr. Rider and all the others deserved some good smoke

Drop that music bed to 50%

I know what happen saw this live but this track damn

Why would you put this loud music over this?

C Webb was hurt lmao I would be too

Man if Shaq and Cwebb were playing together they gonna bully everyone in the paint

It took Michael Jordan to beat destiny last time, not this time. #suns2021

Proud fan of the Bad Boys!!! #luvmycity

So you wanna be hardcore!!!! This the soundtrack of the 90s era...perfect...golden post

This sounds amazing!

Great video, I love it

Never fear, the magic man is here.

RIP KOBE 💙

What’s the song?

What a historical moment. I couldn't hear a word they said because the music was so damn loud!

Even if Magic did not make it, Magic still was able to draw defense away from the rim, and Kareem was ready for tip back.

3:24 end of the road with blackbear

And Dream gave it right back to that whiny punk. Caught him from behind when it counted and, immediately, kj was crying. Lmao

Warriors should’ve done everything to keep C-Webb but it is what it is...he was definitely one of my favorites...fab 5 4-ever!

Im still hurt over this damn trade

Rip David stern

Wait what former number guy Collins talking Shawn number one 🤔

He looks so young there. He has such a great attitude.

fkn hell dickhead are we here to watch the draft or here to listen to your shitty music

What instrumentals are these ????!

My man Earv, still THE GREATEST Laker...ever...

Then Penny became almost a GOAT if it wasnt for the injuries but still that team became super good

Shaq dont wanna play with webber

1:09 that's a dope t. I'd rock it
