My heart broke when I saw KAT getting drafted. Losing a mother would be tragic, and here he embraced her first after accomplishing such a large goal.
Screw COVID-19
you mean ant
@@camthomasgoat1121 😮
Losing a mother is only tragic if you were close to her what about those who abandoned their loved ones and didn't give any good excuses. If my own didn't want me i not crying down my life and hurting my own self by feeling bad for someone else. In KAT's case he had a loving mother but has to learn along with others that we are here for a short time, even if its 100 years it is still short because the hours in the day are very short plus you minus the hours people sleep and time wasted.
@@adamsamuel8593ummm 🤯 what in the world?
0:48 Patrick Ewing as rookie already looks like he is about to retire 😆
I was thinking the same 😂😂😂
same goes for greg oden
Lmao but at the same time, he looked the same way when he retired too. Dude just turned 40 at age 18 and stayed 40 until he was actually 40, then he cut his hair and put on some weight.
can you blame him, the knicks have been horrible since he retired. too much drama being in new york. the fans are two faced, and if you have a couple of bad games they will turn on you.
The big fella was always my favorite player. Not sure why, I grew up in Florida. Until his feet betrayed him he was ALL time. Great shot blocker, floor general, maybe the best shooting center in history next to jokic. If I could meet one player it would be Patrick Ewing.

I can’t believe how many of these picks were complete busts
@Phi Hong that’s the worst video I ever seen!

My heart aches for Greg Oden. What a career it would have been.
One of the biggest what if
@@jats1337the other being Len Bias
@@chscelebrity8325 and Derrick Rose 🌹
My heart aches every time I see this, knowing we should have taken KD 1st instead of a 40 year old man

This funny fr
Me every time I see Andrew bogut in this video
I could've sworn up and down Grandmama went number 2 overall...
4:24
Hands down the biggest what if, in NBA history, also he is such a kind soul. Every video I have seen of him makes me like him even more.
Some of these draft picks take me back in time. Makes me realize how fast time really goes by
Its amazing how many times the 1st overall pick ended up being a bad pick.
maybe bcoz d pressure of da player?
Yeah it's the pressure to perform. Had many of the stars we love been drafted no. 1, they would have fold as well. Except for lebron
Except shaq
And Kyrie
And Yao Ming was also pretty good ig
3:51 Greatest first overall pick of all time
might change soon
I have to disagree 5:10.
Technically, if we're going by rookie season performance, then it's this guy @1:02. The best number 1 draft rookie player ever and he was great from the beginning
@@dixon6195 😅😅😅😅
Crazy to look back at 16/17 Sixers had the 1st pick (17 Traded from Boston) and the Celtics still got the best player in both drafts. Ainge is a genius.
76ers just picked bad. Embiid is their best pick at any draft position since Iverson. Celtics could tell who was going to be picked when trading down. If anything they traded down to pay less, as they knew who they wanted would still be on the board. Good draft for them.
I was happy that night when the Spurs picked Tim Duncan.
David Robinson carried the team's winning flag for years.
But with Duncan joining the team, the Spurs became the best to beat, if you can in the whole league, and won 5 championships with him as Spurs player.
And now Wembanyama incoming. Three #1 picks, three Hof Big Men. Draft has been kind to the Spurs
My heart hurt a little bit when Greg oden came up😓
The ultimate "what could've been"?
and then to follow it up, the finishing blow, Derrick rose
Poor blazers
I know it could have been Gianns Atetokumpo
@@Gibleondeez123. you mean kd
I find it odd that the players used to sit in the stands, and not in their own tables, like they do know.

Hi five turned handshake
😅😅 I feel bad for laughing, but 💀
Stunted/Injury Riddled Players and Draft Busts since 1980:
Ralph Sampson (1983): he and Olajuwon were the original twin towers, but injuries really hampered him. He played like 70 games in his last 3 seasons combined iirc because of the injuries.
Pervis Ellison (1989): could never stay on the floor at all. Had his best season in his third year tho where he averaged 20 points and 11 boards, winning Most Improved Player.
Joe Smith (1995): the dude drafted before KG. Singlehandedly bankrupt himself by flushing 61 million down the drain. Was actually very good in his first few years but eventually just transformed into a roleplayer. Also had that controversy with Minnesota.
Michael Olowokandi (1999): was very talented but untouchable, as Kareem puts it. An unwillingness to accept criticism, a detrimental attitude and a billion knee surgeries eventually ended him.
Kwame Brown (2001): I still applaud him for having an otherwise solid career, but the pick was still horrendous, especially since it's Michael Jordan as the GM. Everyone knows what happened so I won't explain it.
Andrew Bogut (2005): dude was an insane defender, singlehandedly making the Bucks a top 10 defense iirc in his prime, but that horrific injury robbed him of his stardom. Still managed to win rings tho with GS.
Andrea Bargnani (2006): I honestly don't think he's that gargantuan bust as everyone puts it, but the numbers he put up still doesn't justify his draft position. He was a black hole on defense and his shooting didn't really carry over from Europe.
Greg Oden (2007): Still think he would have been very good had not for his injuries. Doesn't really help that KD was drafted after him tho.
Derrick Rose (2008): No, Rose is not a bust. That's just heretical stuff to say. But the ACL injury robbed him of so much at such a young age. He definitely would have done a lot more down the line, like more all star appearances and a huge chance to be first ballot HoFer. I'm very proud of him for picking himself back up however and rediscovering himself as a professional basketball player.
Anthony Bennett (2013): I know the draft class as a whole was very weak with Giannis and Gobert being projects, McCollum being not that highly touted and Victor having to go to 3 teams to be an all star, but what the fuck was Cleveland thinking?
Markelle Fultz (2017): he has the talent, and I still think he still has a lot of time to at least create a respectable career, but that number one pick potential is long gone.
Nothing about Ben Simmons huh?
@@praveenfernandes734great intelligent player
kwame brown and olowokandi were very good!...in EA Sports NBA Live PS game series. They were in my rooster🤣
@@praveenfernandes734 No, because Ben Simmons isn't a bust. He didn't play the season immediately after he was drafted, but the next season he was ROY, he's been a three-time all-star and he led the league in steals in the 2019-20 season. He doesn't play like a #1 pick, but that's not the same as being a bust.
The biggest bust is Anthony Bennett. Imagine playing in G League in 2 years lol
HAKEEM THE DREAM!!! 🚀😴Don’t sleep on him
Kareem better
@@lowkeybronhater3324ok
Shaquille, Iverson, Duncan, Yao Ming, Lebron James, Dwight Horward, Bogut, D Rose, Griffin, John Wall, Irving, Anthony Davis, Wiggins, KAT were good #1 picks
I personally think Zion, Edwards will be important to nba history
Worthy? Hakeem?
@@xxunknownxx279 thought the same thing
@@xxunknownxx279 i agree that Hakeem was a good pick, but there was MJ in the same draft
Bogut was not a good 1st pick
Bruh David Robinson? He's the greatest rookie ever at number 1 Draft pick. Have you seen his rookie year performance? No number 1 pick has yet matched his performance average
Patrick Ewing looked like he is getting ready for his HoF acceptance speech rather than just being selected No. 1
I was wondering when I'd see the usual Ewing looks way older comment 🤣
Yeah
Anthony Bennet really sticking out here
I think we all know what happens next
GOAT
Anthony bennet isn't on youtube blaming everyone in the nba for his failures like kwame brown does everyday
Michael olowokandi is just as bad
@@michiga9132 I would flame you for talking about me like you were a special player too.
Damn i feel bad for Anthony Edwards though 1st overall and he didn't even got a chance to walk to the stage and shook the hands of the commissioner like how all the legends did
BecUse of Covid?
Also neither did Yao Ming has he was on video
Yao was in beijing
@@cavewoah Yao was in Shanghai actually
Shoutout to Larry O'Brien at the beginning of this video and the namesake of the championship trophy
3:08 how the bulls went from championship to 1st pick just by losing Jordan is insane🤯
I still believe that draft was rigged
Like warrios
Jordan the GOAT and carried
3:51 20 years later he's averaged 30 ppg and made it to the western conference finals!! 🤯🤯
love watching this every year
5:13 I’m missing that “woah!” From Bill Simmons.
Same
Ben Simmon wanted to pass the pick to someone else.
Yeah, because you're definitely not gonna get it from Ben Simmons
Orlando gets more #1 overall picks than anyone. Forget about the "Frozen Envelope" conspiracy, it's the Orlando Magic!
Its actually the CAVS with 6 no.1 picks
Them and the TWolves.
30 years ago today!!! Shaq Attaq is in da House!!!!! Orlando Magic 1st overall out of LSU🏀👨🏾🦲🤾🏾♂
When you realize the Cavaliers have had 5 #1 draft picks.
We’ve had our ups and downs and everything in between…
Daugherty- Solid pick in a rough draft
LeBron- Obviously off the charts
Kyrie- No brainer pick- possible HOF
Bennett- Maybe the biggest bust in NBA history
Wiggins- Had potential to be great. Good trade. Solid career
They bought their championship.

Man I would have loved to see a Shaq Webber Magic team they would have been so solid.
And Penny Hardaway.
@@dennistyler8746 that wouldn’t have been possible since Webber and Penny were traded for each other on draft night in 93
They traded Webber for Hardaway in part because O'Neal had worked with him in the movie Blue Chips.
Best number 1 draft team
C- Shaq
F- Duncan
F- Bron
G- Rose
G- Iverson
Thoughts?
Probably would take Kyrie over Rose just because he’s a better shooter. Otherwise, I think everyone else is the correct call. Hakeem would easily be the debatable one for bigs but TD and Shaq are too good to leave off the starting line up.
Yeah, that's pretty legit.
It's good
I'd take Olajuwon over Shaq
Robinson
It’s so sad seeing Greg oden because of how short of a career he had because of an injury
Crazy how all these number 1 picks from 2004-present, Lebron is still currently by far the better player. Insane longevity.
eh you could make an argument for some.
I love how Ewing was number 1 pick and looks like he was about to retire lol
czcams.com/video/-q96svo5YsM/video.html
Yeah, he’s good looking just like me 😎
Bruh I just commented the same thing and I didn't even see your comment LMAO that's hilarious😂
bro aged quickley
I was shit he drafted looking old already 😂😂
Love how it starts with Joe Barry Carroll. Warriors got that no.1 pick from Boston by trading Robert Parrish and another draft pick (Kevin McHale) haha what a trade.
WTF!! lebron he dominated in position sf since 2003-2022
So amazing 🤩

@KINGRECKLEZZ yea some of them I hadn’t even heard of
@@montavious7403 Guess you weren't even born when half of those picks were made.
@KINGRECKLEZZ being a number one pick is an honor, you'll always be associated with that, that's how. Do you realize how ELITE of a club that is? What percentage of men ever get that privilege?
2007 Greg oden so sad to see when he could have been a great hopefully Zion doesn’t go down the same path
Same I got sad when I saw Greg oden
Some of these first picks I haven't heard of.
czcams.com/video/-q96svo5YsM/video.html
Michael olowokandi...
I remember that draft, and I remember that a lot of people didn't know much about him and thought he might not work out. But I guess the idea was he had so much potential if he did. He was like the Giannis that never developed.
like who?
@@rmleiderI’ve personally never heard of Andrea Bargnani
Thank you NBA
Anthony Edwards man I missed that year. Covid sucked
It was sad how many of those guys we all said in our head “Could have been great if he stayed healthy”
But that’s the NBA. You can’t just be great, you have to stay healthy.
These are legends
I was the number 1 pick took the pistons to the finals and won 7 rings but I didn’t have the cameras on
Flight, is that you??
😒.........shhhhh 2k
Phew goodNESS the 90s picks... no doubt about almost every one of those ballers.
AI seems like a good #1 pick, especially compared to the others we see here, but that 96 draft class was so deep. Hall of farmers left & right in that draft: Kobe, Nash, Ray Allen...
@@zacka6226 yep, definitely one of the deepest draft classes, speaks to how good AI was that even now you can somewhat defend him as the first pick.
Man, that crowd pop Webber got, wow!!
Does anyone else notice how the faces get younger as time goes by?
czcams.com/video/-q96svo5YsM/video.html
Yes. I think it’s because most picks back in the day were drafted upon completing college. Now players are getting drafted with only 1-2 years of college or straight out of high school. That can be a about 4 year difference in age.
@@jaybdub77 yeah but the likes of Bron and Kobe were coming straight out of high school into the draft and look older than most guys now. Kids these days just look younger than previous generations at their age.
I’ll predict that Victor Wembanya will be 1st Pick in 2023 NBA Draft
That's almost unpredictable, how did you came out with that?😭😱
Him or Scoot
wow I never would've guessed that
shut up bro thats unpridictible bro like one of those guys who reads the newspaper eveary day then gets on his phone and clicks a virus

You fine ngl, you got ig?
Andrea barn whatever was a 1st overall pick. That’s the one that really stands out
It’s criminal how many #1 picks the Cavs, Magic and Wizards have had.
this is our yearly reminder tyat anthony bennett exists
It is crazy to think how many of these players are on to be excellent players in the league
Is it?
Glenn Robinson is and was underrated an nba great
some takeaways from this video:
cavs had the most #1 picks with 6. they also had quite possibly the greatest #1 pick of all-time in lebron james, while also quite possibly the worst #1 pick off all-time in anthony bennett.
the lakers #1 pick james worthy in the 1982 draft, was originally from the cavs (funnily enough) from the infamous stepien era. this is also the first and only time a reigning NBA champion picked first overall.
9 teams have never won the 1st overall pick so far
Chhris webber lowkey had the most hype crowd, Fab 5 were different with the hype
this is a good way to see how much cameras have evolved since 1980
So sad David sterns last no 1 pick had to be Anthony bennit
Melbourne has the most number 1 overalls out of every city. Not bad for it being our 3rd or 4th most played sport.
5:38 😂
Sam Bowie will be always known to most people as the bust that was drafted right in-between two Hall of Famers (Hakeem & MJ).
You know which top pick flopped when the the same team has the first pick the following year 😂
Shaq and Webber back to back NY the Magic. You saying Shaq sucked as a rookie? If not, then specify, especially considering the shakeout after trades.
No, it just means that that one player alone wasn't enough to change the fortunes of the franchise. Larry Johnson was ROY in 1992, and teamed with #2 pick Alonzo Mourning the very next year, to lead the Charlotte Hornets a first round victory in the playoffs that same year. Mourning hit a buzzer-beating, midrange jumper in game 4 to win the series.
@johnanderson9765 David Robinson @1:02 proved you wrong because he instantly took a very bad 20-62 Spurs team and turned into playoff contender, 3rd best of the WC as rookie, and became all-star already being 3rd best in his position as well as one of the best players in the league. Probably the best rookie ever with high performance stats

@@renji-san5273 yeah if cade Edwards and Zion’s have good years it’s save to say there not busts but paolo will have to have 2 good years to prove he is not a bust cuz u can’t judge people off there rookie year
As I was watching this, I was feeling like I saw more and more busts the closer we got to the present. Even if a player isn't an immediate bust, it's hard to live up to the hype of being a #1 pick your whole career. You can start off ok, get injured, and just kind of fall off.
You think Cade Cunningham a bust? Man you don't know.
When Lebron went back to Cavaliers in 2014, Cavs have 4 #1 pick players.

Sometimes I forget Shaq was even in the nba, let alone the 1st pick. I just knew him as that big guy that’s in every commercial 😂😂
LEBRON JAMES is the best No.1 pick in the nba 🐐🔥
Why are number 1 picks always complete legends or complete busts, why they never mid level players at least lol
Because the expectation are really high,so if thy fulfill it they are stars and if not they are busts
Wiggins?
Nobody talks about Mark Aguirre nowadays, but he was a 3-time all-star and averaged 20+ points every season for miserable Mavericks teams plus he averaged 30 on 52.4% shooting in the 83-84 season and didn't even make the All-NBA team. I don't think he really fits in either category, not a all-time legend or a bust.

Crazy how MJ wasn't a first pick and is better than all of the players mentioned in this video.
Also, I'm tryna hear the "and the San Antonio Spurs select... Victor Wembanyama from France" this year
Hakeem is my favorite
Jalen’s might be more ‘popular’ (Kenny Powers voice), but Anthony’s go 1st Overall.
No cap
Only a handful of 1st round picks were really worth it.
Many Champions however.
O'Neal, Robinson, olajuwon, Ewing....
Some good players like manning.
So many bigs. 4s and 5s dominated the top pick
Phila selected back to back bursts in Ben and Fritz
I love how many centers were taken. What’s the percentage of centers thsy turned out to be good versus the guards to bay could have been taken
Bigs are just rare. If you get a franchise big, you're set for a long time. Sadly, bigs often are injury prone and / or "projects" when they get drafted. Look at Wiseman for a recent example.
There's a phrase: "You can't teach seven feet." No matter how well you coach a smaller player, he'll never be seven feet tall.
