ESPN asks Who are the Top 5 Best # 1 Draft Picks Since 1992.

[itsyoung!!]

We're not gonna stop disrespecting Bron huh....ok...i'm wasting my time, but fukk it....

Tell me, what would Cleveland Cavalier basketball have been from 2003-2010 if they hadn't taken Bron #1?

The value of the franchise went through the roof. They had seasons with the best record. The went to the Finals for the first time in franchise history. Individually, LeBron won an MVP and a scoring title. .....Basically, he put them on the map.

It's not a coincidence that ESPN is asking this question right now.

No #1 did more for a franchise than LeBron.

2) Duncan
3) O'Neal
4) Rose
5) Howard/Iverson

So lebron getting to the finals and losing out weights Duncan and Shaq getting to the finals and winning

No #1 did more for a franchise than LeBron ??

 

[firemanBk]

1. Duncan
2. Robinson
3. Iverson
4. LeBron
5. Ewing

The rest didn't play for their originally drafted teams long enough. I see Rosw likely playing out his prime in Chicago so he'll probably get higher on this list as time goes by.

If I was just going by the best player

1. LeBron
2. Shaq
3. Duncan
4. Robinson
5. Ewing

Why does that list say '85 and the thread title say '92 though?

winning a chip is only 1 factor (btw Shaq didn't win a chip with Orlando)

I named other factors. Read my post again.

Addressing the one factor you chose to pick out: The Spurs won a title with Duncan early becuz they were fortunate enough to have an ALREADY COMPETITIVE SA team in place (featuring a Dream Teamer). LeBron made bottom-feeders relevant almost instantly, as a teenager.

 

[ItzDaKiing]

well the top 4 have to be

duncan
the admiral
iverson
ewing
take your pick with bron/shaq as the 5th. id go bron

why is chris webber even listed? the fukk he do for the magic?

You can't be serious shaq barely/not making that list is If anything he should be No.1 just off of the impact he had on the game.

made the sixers more relevant than lebron made cleveland relevant

that's debatable

 

[954UAlreadyknow]

When Its all said and done I think Bron will be #1 from this list but I cant put him there yet. Its easily Shaq or Duncan at 1 and 2. But aint no way hes lower then #3

 

[Absolut]

when its all said and done? his time with the team that drafted him is done

 

[CrimsonTider]

The love Rose gets is baffling to me.

 

[chuckifubuck]

The love Rose gets is baffling to me.

I don't know if its rose love or AI disrespect. But I don't know how anyone could put what he's done in chicago up till now over everything AI did for philly, AI put that franchise on his back for years

 

[shopthatwrecks]

larry johnson..he was undersized..n beastin with bigger powerforwards...durin his hornet days..

Us fans can go back and forth forever on this, but Larry Brown and Paul Silas would like to have a word with you.

 

[R=G]

Lol@Howard meaning more than Shaq in his first 4 years...are you stupid ass nyggas on crack cocaine or what?

For me.. you can inter change 1 - 3 with Shaq, Duncan and AI depending on who you like more, but those are the only correct choices for 1-3 period.
