Michael Jordan is selected 3rd overall by the Chicago Bulls in the 1984 NBA Draft….
My, how things have changed? M.J. was off preparing for the Olympics. The footage was dark, the production was paltry, and the commissioner looked like a used car salesman.
Allen Iverson was selected No.1 overall by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 1996 NBA Draft….
I don’t think anyone expected A.I.’s career to turn out the way it has, but we are thankful for the contributions he made to the culture and history of the game. I’ll always be in love with that low haircut he used to rock.
LeBron James was selected No. 1 overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2003 NBA Draft…
LeBron was clean, wasn’t he? He entered the NBA straight from high school with tremendous expectations of greatness weighing his shoulders. He is arguably one of the best to ever play the game, but so far much of that talent has been overshadowed by controversy. Bron’s championship days are coming, though. Just wait.
