People have to give David Stern a lot of credit. His vision for expanding the league globally has paid off. And he really did help save the league in the 80s.
Do we blame him for the Chinese slave labor?
@@jmd11185 I mean sure if you’re willing to blame just about every other politician in American business that gets goods and services from China

He was a racist
Up until Derrick Rose onwards, nba teams had almost always drafted big men. AI getting drafted number 1 in 96 was something special.
Seeing the Greg Oden pick is so sad. Dude was the most hyped bigman since Shaq, had an unbelievable skill set. Shame he had that leg length surgery and it ruined his career
What's infuriating about that pick is that if we knew what we know now about what kind of play style is actually valuable in basketball, Kevin Durant would've been the number 1 pick 100 times out of 100.
Oden was considered a generational talent. Someone who'd be on par with Tim Duncan
I was so hyped to see him on the court!!! Sadly, it was taken away so fast because of his injury. But during that time, he deserves the #1 spot.
As much hype did Oden receive Tim Duncan still had more
He had a hard time getting up in that draft lol
It's ironic that, David Stern's 1st selection as a chairman in 1984 was Hakeem (an all time great) while the last selection in 2013 was Bannett (an all time bust)
Well, in 1984 GOAT was only 3d pick.
@@lexvazaI would not be mad taking Hakeem instead of jordan tbh
@@lexvaza lmao no the 3rd pick in 1984 was carried by Pippen
Posting this kind of video every year has been a tradition
This goes to show how rare generational talents are that even most 1st round picks don't become elite
Some were outright horrible unfortunately
@@gully078cough Ben cough Simmons cough
@@NACH666 He actually started off pretty well, then something literally broke him.
@@gully078shame. He’s got a good physique, good height , good everything he just needs confidence.
@@NACH666 ben simmons turned out amazing. he was an amazing player but his back injury and mental health ended him
that ROAR from the crowd in 1993 always gives me chills
1984 1996 2003 draft classes were stacked with talent and hall of famers
Facts
And 2011
Big facts
Hakeem, chuck, MJ, stockton, kobe, AI,Allen, wallace, nash, bron, melo, wade, D. Fisher, Bosh.
I've never heard that theory before
Huge camera upgrade from 96 to 97 💯😂
Fax
Yao Ming Top Reaction😂
fr, he didnt get any praise haha
Patrick Ewing looking 35 on draft day 😂 Knicks were never a team I rooted for, but Ewing was great and man, that guy would drop sweat at the free throw line 😂
you´re damm right! When I was a child Knicks was my favourite team because of Ewing.
It’s amazing how so many of the number 1 picks turned to be busts
Still insane to me that Kobe was the 13th pick of his draft
And traded? He was drafted as a hornet wasn't he? Biggest draft day trade ever
@@ryantozer7729he wasnt traded on draft day
@moneyman4740 well, 2 weeks after right? Didn't play a single game for the hornets, so yeah, could say draft day still. The GM said they had no use for kobe at the hornets and needed a center so hence got traded to lakers.
Kobe entered the draft at 17 years old if he came out a little later he would have been higher. Also he was in stacked draft class
Yao Ming’s Draft Celebration Gave Me A Headache 😂😂
Asians are just naturally awkward
Let’s Go Rockets!!!
It’s cringey 🤣
People talk about My Magic Getting back to back picks in 92/93, But Cleveland Got like seven number ones Including a do over in 14 when they picked Bennett 1st in 13
LeBron James is the greatest #1 draft pick of all time, hands down.
Jordan was picked at 3
@@catcountry0099
LeBron is the greatest #1 draft pick
@@catcountry0099this is why reading comprehension is important lol
1 pick, 1 all time scoring list
@@catcountry0099😅😅😅😅😅 people see the "Greatest" and just run wit it, dude clearly said #1 pick, u bugging😅😅😅😅😅
Yao Ming with relatives
missing high fives 😅
Asians being awkward as usual 🤣
Philly fans cheering when Ben Simmons is selected is so fun to watch now 😂
Patrick Ewing looks like at least 35 years old when he was 23😮
Anthony Bennett the GOAT of 1st round picks.
Out of these first pick, only Tim Duncan won more rings.
Lebron still on top since 2003. Drafted 1 year after from Yao Ming, 6 years before Blake Griffin
For me these were the best first picks in the draft, but unfortunately some of this list did not remain at the top because of injuries such as: Derrick rose, blake griffin, Anthony Davis And ziom willianson.
84 - Hakeem Olajuwon
85 - Patrick Ewing
87 - David Robinson
92 - Shaquille O'neal
96 - Allen Iverson
97 - Tim Duncan
2002 - Yao Ming
2003 - Lebron James
2004 - Dwight Howard
2008 - Derrick Rose
2009 - Blake Griffin
2010 - John wall
2011 - Kyrie Irving
2012 - Anthony Davis
2015 - Karl Anthony Towns
2019 - Zion Williamson
2020 - Anthony Edwards
2022 - Paolo Banchero
and greg oden since he was injured
Davis is still good
AD is good
ad is top 75 😂
Earlier 1st picks were really great players
Banchero is the biggest talent Orlando has had since Tracy McGrady
The number of #1 pick busts or underwhelming players is astounding, it really is a total crapshoot.
The sixers fans cheering Ben Simmons 😂😂😂
He was much better than some of these guys
@@EthanIzetahell naw
@@EthanIzeta i mean he was better
@@EthanIzeta he was better for sure, but specifically Sixers fans cheering for him then vs. how they feel about him now is COMPLETELY different.
so naive
I always wait for this annual video by the NBA lol
That Ben Simmons is gonna go far.
2:30 I saw that flash frame of unlinked media
Zion up there in terms of disappointment. He's most hype player since Oden, imo.
Overhyped yes but he's a great player
@@zaziou711sure he’s good in like the three games he’s played and when he isn’t stuffing his face full of burgers and pornstars
4:37 bro why does blake griffin look like a video game character 💀
Paolo Banchero is hell of a pick
We already knew he was gonna be the pick I said it before it happened me and my dad knew that was gonna be the pick
Imagine how many Number 1 pics the Cavs have.
Lebron and shaq are best no. 1 picks of all time
Andrea Bargnani would be a beast if he got drafted in this generation
Michael Olowakandi, Kwame Brown and Anthony Bannett they are my favorite first picks
I really admire you
Man, the huge suits in this video 😂
So many players nowadays and every year hope they will make a new draft in just every 2 years. 🤔
Wembys walk 🔥
man time flies by
The boos for Anthony Bennet, the crowd and fans already knew.
LeBron is the greatest # 1 pick of all time
Now wemby
@@luka-mc112 Nope
@@luka-mc112 dude didn´t even played 1 game in the NBA and you say he´s the greatest #1 pick lmao
Shaq
Between him and Kareem yeah
Great video
Kwame Brown got a point, cuz I don't even remember more than half of them guys and he came out of high school.
Yeah he had a better career than 75% of the 2000-2020 picks
Exactly, you don't play in the nba for ten years and not be good at basketball. Unfortunately he's the minimum talent in the nba and gets compared to the rest of the players on top of him.
What kind of first track is playing?! Who is it?! Totally high!!!😮😍
funny how only 20-25% of this won a championship
And that’s counting Wiggins
3:51 when the 40k points guy was drafted…
Lol Yao Ming family's need a strategy meeting real quick
Looks like about a 50% success rate
how tf did the cavs get 3 first picks within 4 years from 2011-2014???
LeBron left so the league packed the Cavs so he could come back & win a title.
40 years after Sampson selection. I hope Victor will be healthier player.
Took 15+ years for a guard to be selected
Poor Greg Oden, dude came in with the body of a 42 y/o vetaran.
Victor reminds me of Ali A the gamer lol. They even sound the same
Now this may be out of time and i am wrong but... after seeing most of the them stand up before their names are called, it makes me wonder if anybody stands up and starts celebrating but then they select someone else.
poor anthony edwards, got drafted during the nba bubble, still a rising player tho
damn i didn’t realize how many busts there were selected at #1
That LeBron James kid had potential. Wonder what happened.
Yeah it’s not like he’s got the most points in the nba ever
He became a bust and played in Guangdong Tigers.
Is that Time of year again
AKRONS FINEST LEBRON
“Anthony Bennett” 💀
Who tf is Anthony Bennett 🤣
1996 is like the second part of one piece
Les Émotions 🎉.
Ben Simmons 💀
Shoutout to Andrew Bogut
magic in 1979
My Phoenix Suns one and only number 1 pick Deandre Ayton
thats tough
@@nomorepartiezzwe went to the finals 2-0 lead but lost. Got CP3 KD and Beal since then. He averaged 18 and 10 as a rookie.
Hes good tho
@@HumbleRumble420 Ayton isnt bad but Luka is generational and the Suns missed out. has been 1st team All-NBA since his second year, averaged close to a 30 point triple double this year even when he was fat and injured for half the season.
but you guys were trying to contend and drafted for fit, i get it even if i still think it was a mistake. it definitely sucks more for the Kings and the Hawks to be fair.
Miss u sam
Hype is real
80th years picked players were like they are 30 years old😂
Anyone know how good the non HOFs were? I don’t want to assume they are busts just because they aren’t too 75
You'd have to be more specific. Most of them were actual good players but for a short amount of time, like Brad Daugherty, Mark Aguirre, Glenn Robinson, and Derrick Coleman . Many of them were also superstars for a while, like Chris Webber and Larry Johnson. A few of them were busts. A few were solid role players like Elton Brand and Kenyon Martin, and a few were journeymen like Danny Manning, Joe Smith, and Andrew Bogut. Hardly any of them were "specialized" players though.
@@YpsitheFlintsiderI’d argue Andrew Bogut wasn’t a journeyman. Not a superstar but he was one of the best defensive centers in the league in his prime and him coming to Warriors changed their defensive identity.
Why not start at 1979. Magic johnson class
Because 1980 was the first televised draft
@@BlindSwami_ oh ok. Thanks for the info
Interestingly, most of these players left no serious impact on NBA. There are even couple of names i am hearing for the first time
Fair enough, but that says more about your lack of NBA knowledge than it does about their lack of impact.
Pq os atletas antigos da Nba eram bem mais gigante os atuais?
Nba tinha um jogo mais lento antigamente, mais defensivo e mais brigado, hj em dia mudou, é um jogo mais atlético, rápido, bola de 3 pontos, aguentar mt tempo em quadra. Fora mudanças de regras, começou a surgir mais gente q é capaz de pontuar, defender e dar assistência, uso das posições mudou tbm.
dude adam silver is freakin tall
Greg Oden was destroy his career on injuries
Yao had the npc celebration
Number 1 players in the world are coming less and less from one place, the US, and I love to see it grow! Imagine 300 yeas in the future... we have space pirates running from space cops type future... and the NBA get's it's first Martian to join the NBA... or take it another step further and have an NBA game on mars! Ahhhhh, I was born in the wrong time
The Guangdong Tigers select Ben Simmons
Hakeem with Tuxedo lol
If it wasn’t for Lebron Tim Duncan would be the best first overall pick of all time
whos the first?
@@ureao6002 you got me 💀
Olajuwon better
shaq magic and kareem exist
@@carnage5350 shaq and magic are not better than bron you donut, kareem gotta a case tho
Cleveland select 3 times 1st pick since 2011 to 2015.,
Losing Lebron causes that, Lbj worth three #1s cause even those 3 still ain’t add up to a half or even quarter of what Lbj has does ..
0:01 who is that
Where is Victor 😢 do you show it in 2023
Michael Olowokandi, Kwame Brown, Greg Oden, Andrea Bargnani and Anthony Bennett are busts.
Yes we know.
@@YpsitheFlintsider Is Lonzo Ball a bust? He was not expecting to play next season.
@@MRJOSH-dc2knNo he was just simply injury prone
@@AvrgDan Yeah you're right
But no one beats Brick Simmons as all time great bust
And the rest was history for Zion…
CADE CUNNINGHAM 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Behold Wembanyama, the second coming of Anthony Bennett.
Brick Simmons didn’t live up to the hype of first overall pick
Hello nba!!!!!
