- What Happened To Every #1 Pick In The 90's?
The 90's was a great time for the NBA I mean Jordan basically owned it. But while Jordan was dominating there where some #1 picks brewing on the sidelines getting better and better each year, just waiting for there time to shine!
So just who where these #1 picks and what ended up happening to them?

Man Derrick Coleman was cold in his younger years! Definitely one of those forgotten great players of NBA
I’m 40 year old man and I can still remember as a kid in Detroit, Derrick Coleman everything. He was a beast at every level.💯💯💯
Joe Smith played over a 1,000 games. You have to be a pretty solid player to hang around that long
He was a good player but never became the player he was hyped as a draft but he was a solid 2 way player, that why he seen as a bust
His numbers screamed late first rounder, not first overall pick, I hated this pick then and I hate it now… he was nothing special… also
I always worry about so called superstars in college who don’t really lead team that far in tourney (sweet 16 is ok, but should
Joe
smith been way more
Dominant?
@@andu1854 Obviously way too high. When you're a number one overall pick and never make one All Star game, you've certainly underachieved. His career is similar to Andrew Wiggins.
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.
Yea when he was healthy and focused he could of been a hall of famer as he was a brilliant player but sadly too much baggage
@@petesmart1983 Ikr? Like if he and Shawn Kemp would have stayed focused on the game and not the other💩 they'd of had awesome careers.
@@quadryjohnson2099 Kemp had a much better career. He's a borderline hall of famer. He made six consecutive all star teams. Coleman made one.
@MrOctober44 I 100percent agree with you. After that lockout season where Kemp got fat you saw how really versatile he was. He could actually shoot midrange. I just wish he'd of focused more on the game and not everything else.
@@quadryjohnson2099 It's a shame. Not making excuses, but I think if he never left Seattle he would have been much better off.
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.
Thanks for watching! Tim Duncan is definitely a text book role model for younger players
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.
LJ was also poised to be one of the most marketable stars, he was camera-friendly and had his run of "Grand-mama" Converse commercials, too bad it didn't sustain
@@Defender78 He screwed up his back then had to change his game
"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!
Duncan played for 6 more seasons , Duncan could score and obviously it was more efficient but AI was a better scorer , Duncan could dominate when he wanted to but his complete game with his defense is what set him apart
He also played in FAR more post season games than Iverson, practically giving him an entire season's worth of extra games over AI alone on that front.
Ranking the top picks:
1. Duncan
2. Shaq
3. Iverson
4. Webber
5. Brand
6. Johnson
7. Robinson
8. Smith
9. Coleman
10. Kandi Man
6 thru 9 are pretty interchangeable. Duncan is ahead of Shaq because the latter had an exploitable weakness in his game.
@@54raynor And Shaq wouldn’t disagree with that ranking! In fact, he wrote this in his autobiography: “Whenever I run into a Tim Duncan fan who will claim Tim Duncan is the GOAT, I won’t disagree with him”
www.basketballnetwork.net/.amp/old-school/shaquille-oneal-explains-what-makes-tim-duncan-the-only-big-man-he-could-never-break
@moneyman4740 exactly and if being honest maybe 7 more cause he barely played 2009 or 2010
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.
Joe Smith missed the chance to make his rapper name as Joe Mama lmao
lolll
Cover the rest of the 2000's
gotchu
Say "please"
@@JJames666malebro its CZcams comment 😂
Please please do the 2000-2023
I gotchu!
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."
IIRC, Glenn Robinson was initially selected but didn't make it to the Olympics due to injury.
He was replaced by Gary Payton.
On the other hand, Penny Hardaway had "a pop" on his knee which he kept playing throughout the Playoffs. Should he took the time to assess that knee, it would made a huge difference to his career.
But then again, there's no assurance if there's another invitation in Sydney.
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.
Also in regards to Shaq, he was named the 50 greatest NBA players and the 75 greatest NBA players of all time.
I can’t get enough of informative nba content on CZcams and I’ve seen a couple of your videos floating across CZcams just like this one so I finally subscribed, good luck lol
I appreciate you big homie! Won't let you down
This content is really polished man. Keep it up, you got a serious supporter here.
Preciate you big homie
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 !!
What a good and well-made video! Make another one covering the 2000s
Thanks! Will do!
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.
Larry Johnson was a monster but that back injury took it's toll on him....he was just a great player
The OG zion
@@LockdownK facts
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.
Great video, you should definitely do this for the other decades
bettt
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
Great video My Brother keep them coming I missed these days of baseball
Will do! Preciate the support Charles!
Keep up the good work bro 👍🏽
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
Larry Johnson, Chris Webber and Glenn Robinson are pretty good in 2k
larry johnson fr fr
Love your channel. Underated 🔥🔥
Preciate you G!
Please do the 80’s and 70’s!
Bet!
Your posters in the background is the exact GOAT order I have… James, Bryant, Jordan
yesssirrr
I love this video good job can't wait to see what's next
I was waiting for your comment haha! Appreciate it
Just seen your last 2 videos. Earned a sub brother. Keep this going
Appreciate it!
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.
So far Wembanyama has exactly zero points as an NBA player. All we know so far is he looked bad in summer league.
@@jeffmagic32 One game. Another game he was absolutely dominant. Tim Duncan also looked bad in summer league. How did that work out?
Max Chrisie also dominated in Summer League. I'm not sure that gives us reason to assume he will be a hall-of-famer ala Tim Duncan @@dvs620
Shaq....
Nice Video. DEFINITELY do the rest!!
You got it!
Can't wait for the rest of 2000's picks!
I got you!
The 90's were lit!!
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.
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
I LOVE THE CONTENT. I LOVE YOU LOCKDOWN K
preciate you chief!
Roy Tarpley of Dallas was one dominant player that has been forgotten. Drug problems shortened his otherwise a potential hall of fame career!
I hope you covered the rest I guess I'll find out when I subscribe
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
Solid Video
Can't wait to see the 2000s picks video! 😃
already on the channel!
@@LockdownK Found it! 😃🙋🏾♂️🏀⛹🏾♂️
Hope you enjoyed!
I'll always remember Larry Johnson as Grandma-ma
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 .
great idea!
love your videos man you deserve sm more fame
Glad you like them!
Larry Johnson was amazing at Odessa College before UNLV. Good videos
frr
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
As a Warriors fan, that wasn’t good enough at all, journeyman numbers from first overall pick is just another in the long lost or reasons why Chris Cohen is the absolute worst
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.
Big dog also won a gold medalist in 1996 dream team
Great video! By the way, are you related to DJ Akademiks?
No haha, do i look like him?
@@LockdownK Yes, you do 😅
lol that is the first time i've heard that I look like Kenan Thompson
1. Underachiever
2. Pretty Good
3. Legend
4. Hall Of Famer
5. Underachiever
6. Mediocre
7. Legend
8. Legend
9. BUM!!
10. Pretty Good
You should do the hour long videos! Those are really good 🎉🎉🎉
I will try! Just need to find a good enough topic and it will be coming your way!
@@LockdownK will be waiting for it 🔥🔥🔥
You should make this a series like do a decade from a specific era
will do!
Webber actually was traded to Golden State for Penny!
The 90s the greatest era
Olowokandi?! What the hell is wrong with you 1998 LA Clippers? Oh that's right, you're the clippers.
Coleman was far from a bust. That word shouldn't be spoken in the same paragraph as dude
I suggest Brewmaster. Any build.
This deserves more likes
Preciate you eggman
Talkin about Joe Smith and don’t mention the under the table deal?
Or did I miss it?
When I hear joe smith name - hello darkness my old friend 😂😢
lollll
Tim Duncan's nickname was The Big Fundamental, not Mister Fundamental.
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.
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.
1987 draft but was on the navy so he made his debut two years later, in 1989. This video covers since 1990, that's why he does not appear
@@sergiomp10 true. Good point
That magic team with penny would of been unstoppable if Shaq stayed and penny been healthy
I think the '97 Bulls still would've won again but the '98 Bulls looked old, tired and beat up, a healthy Penny/Squad Magic team at minimum goes to the NBA Finals, I dunno if they would've beat the Jazz though as the Jazz gave Shaq fits when he played against them on the Lakers in '97/'98 (Jazz won those series together 8-1 rofl)
Or if they just had drafted Webber and gone twin towers on the league, also not offer Shaq 115millopj right off bat was really stupid… z
Good video
Glad you enjoyed!
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
Interesting take! Thats the first time I've heard the perspective from someone who actually went to the same school as him!
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
Larry johnson was lebron before lebron. The injuries destroy his carreer and didn't let us watch his real potential
Agreed! He was supposed to be the guy that takes over after Jordan left!
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
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.
We don’t have to mention AI played for the Pistons ever again
Lollll
Looking for a vid like this after wemby became first pick
that type of would be great in the next 10 years
@@LockdownK ya imo I think wemby is going to do alright get a better perspective seeing other first picks
The big thing that can take him out is injuries. If he can manage that then at the lowest i think he can be a good back up stretch big
Larry Johnson is one of my favorite players of all time.
Man I had his 2k replica last year and my friend died laughing because the build was named grandmama😂
@@i_fuze_hostages6 that was the best commercial series ever.
@@dirtybird311 absolutely
Hard to believe Philly passed up on Kobe....who's from Philly
Can you cover the classics like the 1980s?
yup!
First time hearing about derrick Coleman
Can yall imagine if Orlando kept Shaq and Webber
BUST OR WHAT EVER THE CASE HE MADE IT 2 THE NBA & GOT PAID 4 IT NO CAP
Olowakandi was a success in my opinion due to his situation.
Dirk went from 6’10 to 7’0? I didn’t know that
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
LUKA FOR THE DUB FR FR
There is a patern here - bad Franchises make bad picks.
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
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).
Looks like I need to go watch some more tape on him!
And he also underachieved and was on the cover of sports illustrated as poster boy for the whiny player who got paid way too much way too soon… sorry but o was never that impressed with z Coleman and I don’t care if he was awesome
On the zone defense Sryacuse team
BUT THE SAD THING ABOUT IT NO MATTER HOW GOOD THE NBA BALLPLAYER WAS OR WASNT 4TO6 YEARS AFTER YOUR AVERAGE NBA BALLPLAYER HAS RETIRED HIS ASS IS BROKE NO MFING CAPPING
You gotta learn what a bust truly is my guy.
AI the only guard selected as the top pick in this decade.
Can you imagine if Iverson was 6’6”?
IU would show how coleman wasnt too good
you would be a good writer for espn or something
Preciate that!
He took a piss outside......ooooooo.......noooooooo
Hurry up with the rest of the years!
haha will do!
Wtf did Duncan do to his hair , damn
Just one thing. No decade has a year 0. They have years 1 through 10. So the decade started in 1991 and ended in 2000.
What happened to Greg Oden & Derrick Rose ?
We got another video for that in the 2000's!
W video
preciate that
