[Walnut8711]

[nr24nr24]

[torontoraps8]

haha morrison...You bum..

[xXxHaZaRDRuLeZzxXx]

@godlover333 i love brandon roy



[MrGerbear4]

Morrison?! hahaha

[aztekcasper10]

John Paxson should have been fired for trading away Aldriedge. Where is the pick they traded him for, I even forget his name.

[Ulfification]

@aztekcasper10 Tyrus Thomas and he plays for Charlotte.

[Tiacola05]

3rd international pick as #1, Andrew Bogut was the 2nd..right?

[David85934]

@Tiacola05 he was 1st

[ballinblazer4]

@David85934 @Tiacola05 actually it was Yao then Bogut then Bargnani.

[fanderskable]

bargs!



[THCNRD]

Morrison won 2 rings okay...

[fiek01]

lolz



[bigcritic69]

Adam Morisson is the steal of da draft rite there

[pyroen21]

top 3 should have been rajon rondo, rudy gay, brandon roy

in no particular order.

[hahaha12345678901234]

hahahaH!!! Bargniani fucking sucks!!!!!!

[dawnoflife3]

@hahaha12345678901234 umadro? hes averaging 24 ppg right now

[ton12novice]

Rajon Rondo

[tofutoph]

Look at it this way, Adam Morrison and Shelden Williams were drafted ahead of Roy, Rudy Gay, and Rondo.

[lbj23asd]

lol morrison doesn't exist...

[superbatian]

who did they end up trading lamarcus aldridge for

[BigO2daG]

tyrus thomas

[BigO2daG]

HOW the heck can you pick Adam Morrison before Brandon Roy, Rudy Gay....................etc etc etc...

[1020Shane]

@BigO2daG at the time he was said to be 1 of 2 nba ready players. the other way brandon roy.

[IronCrescent]

Everyone who said Bargnani was a bust eat your heart out!!

[ozzy4ever666]

Poor Morrsion he gets injured and the Bobcats take away his time that stunts the growth of any player but then again he has been a rather disappointment

[feders33]

grande bargnani

[bigddagenius]

the trail blazers got lucky in this draft come on aldridge and roy?? they got reall lucky

[nickmyr23]

Morrison is one of the biggest busts ever so far! They were crazy to pick him over Roy!

[bigddagenius]

how would they know they would be a bust? he was good in gonzaga

[kklol7]

There is a famous quote in an interview where the interviewer raised questions about criticisms of Adam Morrison for not playing defense.

He responded "I'll start playing defense when I stop scoring 30 points a night."

That is a red flag.

[bigddagenius]

his ass betta start playin sum damn defense!!! lol

[Smitiboy1]

Bargnani and roy were the best of this class and for those of you who dont know about bargnani he is a sick player this year.

[cboule1]

u think bargnani is better than lamarcus aldrige? come on now

[thechozen1234]

worst draft class ever..

[thomasbbd22]

i seriously think morrison is better than vujacic. he should get more minutes

[gikib0i]

Why the Bulls traded Alderidge for Tyrus Thomas I have no idea.

[wickedballer17123456]

this draft sucked

[LorPassword]

Bargnani sucked?noo...you're wrong.

[masalex10]

Morrison set the Bobcats back 4 years

[aznpowerdaniel]

mj made a huge fuckin mistake wit morrison damn

[Dremarco1989]

Bargnani has improved a lot and will be the new Dirk;)

[sammygarry23]

roy was the best of this class

[GSingCSHS0950]

Brandon Roy should be a Bobcat right now.... how stupid are they? Morrison ain't even with them anymore jeez

[gmussina]

you mean aldridge?

[shetbagbetch]

no he means roy. Aldridge was picked before morrison

[raptorsfan1000]

this guy suck ed in 07 and 08 but now hes playin like an all star!!!!!!!!!

[allstarelmo]

i bet the dumbass bulls regret trading aldridge to portland.....go blaZers

[ithrowtdz]

and rose NEEDS an aldrige type player, but hopefully they can sign bosh or amare in '10

[marianosman]

As a Raptors Fan I would still take Andrea number one today. People give him a bad rap, he's quite good and great to watch.

[92890javier]

Welcome to LA Adam

[theAstud]

Brandon Roy should've been number 1

[jonatain]

nah then the blazers wouldnt have gotten him

[alvarogonzalezvelazq]

lol adam morrison weak ass hell

[juneauz]

Andrea is such a talented player. all-star in a few years

[fastration00]

No.6 pick was brandon roy

[joepagproductions]

srsly adam morrison and bargnani r actually rly gd!its just they havent been given enought chances

[brownie003]

2003 was best draft ever and 1996

[BahadorAlast]

don't forget 1984

[TheCrossov3r]

@brownie003 true

[yerok]

@brownie003 and 84

[JulyFishHD]

@brownie003 Hell no 1996 was.

[CENSOREDFORSEX]

Morrison looks like a french painter or something.

[burnit01]

Wow the announcer did not have to mention that this guy was diabetic, like WTF..

[GetCake24]

1 of the weakest drafts, this and 2000 and 2001

[TheLiLFLaVa]

weakest draft ever..

[ballinblazer4]

Actually 2000 and 2001 were both weaker than this one.

[duckman32001]

which ever draft year that had kenyon martin, chris mihm and joel pryzbilla in the top ten pick was the weakest draft year in my opinion

[ballinblazer4]

Kenyon Martin's ok...but the only other players who've done anything from that draft class (2000) are Mike Miller and Michael Redd. So no way is 2006 worse than 2000.

[Jeremy1281988]

Roy, Aldridge and Oden in 2 drafts for Portland... has any team gotten 3 players of that caliber in 2 drafts one year right after another?

[spawn3jayhawks]

dont forget martell webster before and now bayless

[cRusher312]

J.J. Redick and Adam Morrison were the best players in college their final year and neither of them are doing very well.

[JimDimTheGreat]

Even if Rudy gay and brandon roy werent in the first three drafts ,they are the best now

[JimDimTheGreat]

even though*

[brettbrett6666]

most of u people judging dont watch bargnani on a daily basis so you wouldnt relle no. clearly brandon roy has benn hands down the best out of that draft but for toronto that was the right pick they had 2 young PG's at the time.

[knightsfan07]

as a raps fan i agree . GO RAPS

[duckman32001]

no just because you suck ass doesn't mean other does.

[QuickSilva12]

i never said myself dumbass and bargnani was a terrible choice at the number 1 pick

[ccr61851]

i said it before and saying it again...aldridge shouldve been 1st

[Stone1Cold1Go]

QuickSilva12 is a fucking idiot, dont talk if u dunno shit abot da nba

[QuickSilva12]

brandon roy, lamarcus aldrigde and rudy gay are the best in that draft

[Teeraps]

Think again.

[QuickSilva12]

no need to

[czardexter]

hahaha.. QuickSilva12 nailed it.

roy/aldridge/and gay are killin' it in the nba.

while bargnani's getting some extra gatorade on the bench. lmao

[Teeraps]

They're only in their second year. You can't make judgements this soon. Reply when they're in their prime. Look at Baron Davis, Tracy McGrady, Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitzki. It took them a couple of years to develop. Roy is definitely looking good, but he's also getting alot of minutes. The same goes for Aldrige, and Gay.

[zakied]

Bargnani had a decent rookie campaign and will turn into an excellent player. He was 2nd in R.O.Y voting behind Brandon Roy, who is probably the best player in that draft but the Raptors weren't the only ones who didn't pick B.Roy.

[Fitplayer66]

I don't know if Bargnani will be better then Roy, but if you are a raptor fan you can see something special in Bargnani and the potential he has. Bryan Colangelo the general manager of the raptors actually stated before the draft that Brandon Roy will win rookie of the year but Bargnani will soon be better.

[QuickSilva12]

haha it was so funny how the crown reacted, they were so shocked that he was #1...i bet the raptors are kicking themselves for picking Barngnani..dumb team!!!

[southp4w01]

what are you talking about, bargnani was 2nd for Rookie of the Year

[QuickSilva12]

yea shit

[Fitplayer66]

oh yeah...very dumb...that fact that he was a huge part of our success this year averaging 12 points in only 25 minutes and making the playoffs for the first time in the last 5 years...yeah we hate ourselves for that. Maybe we should've taken Brandon Roy or Aldridge. Oh wait i forgot portland didn't even make the playoffs this year.

[Fitplayer66]

I guess if you are calling the raptors a dumb team you are also calling Bryan Colangelo the general manager of the raptors dumb. Oh wait i forgot...he was named excutive of the year. Oh wait...Sam Mitchell the coach of the raptors also won coach of the year.

[QuickSilva12]

Raptors are dumb, they alwasy pick white or international players in drafts like Bargnani..the only reason Bargnani finished 2nd for rookie of the year was because it was a crap rookie class and the raptors made the playoffs, but the Raptors always make bad decision

[Fitplayer66]

yeah you seem to know a lot about the raptors draft picks...lets look at the first round draft picks since 1995 when the raptors started...1995-damon staudomire, 1996-Marcus Camby, 1997-Tracy Mcgrady, 1998-Vince Carter, 1999-traded, 2000-morris peterson, 2001-Michael Bradley, 2002-Kareem Rush, 2003-Chris Bosh, 2004-Rafael Araujo, 2005- Charlie Villaneuva, 2006-Andrea Bargnani...out of 11 draft picks they picked 3 white men in the first round...next time know ur stuff before u talk...

[QuickSilva12]

im talking about the most recent draft picks, and pick-ups from other teams, they always pick white players. They picked Bargnani last draft, they picked up Kapono from the heat and they recently picked up Delfino from the pistons, which are all white/international players..there such fucking dumbfucks

[Fitplayer66]

oh yeah they are really dumb fucks...so although the raptors success only started last year when colangelo started bringing europeans and white people makes them dumb fucks??? So picking up the best 3 point shooter last year (Kapono) and Delfino for basically nothing who is dominating the FIBA championship right now is not good??? So that's a dumb thing to do. So it's not a coincidence that there success has only started because of that???

[QuickSilva12]

yeah exactly the Raptors organization are all dumbfucks, they didn't need to sign Kapono for so much money and also Delfino, it's not like anything good is gonna happen by signing Kapono and Delfino, or if there gonna chnage anything much

[Fitplayer66]

So I guess the NBA are all also dumb fucks for calling Bryan Colangelo executive of the year? Listen, raptors are a run and gun offensive oriented team. They need people like Kapono who can bury three's and Delfino who can provide solid defence and offence. We did pay Kapono a bit to much but colangelo has only made one bad decision here (singing fred jones which he traded for Juan Dixon) so he corrected it. We got Delfino for basically nothing. He's playing excellent in the FIBA championship.

[Fitplayer66]

You keep making unvalid points and you cannot back up your opinions. You keep calling us dumb fucks when you are actually pointing out stuff that is making our team better. The more you express yourself the more you show your minimal basketball IQ.

[vietboii]

just stfu plz lol

[Fitplayer66]

When Babcock was our general manager we sucked for a few years. He made the two worst decisions...trading carter and drafting Araujo. But last year colangelo the former general manager of the suns came here and signed several european players like Anthony Parker, Jorge Garbajosa, Andrea Bargnani who improved our team drastically. Oh and Bargnani and Garbajosa made the all rookie team. Next time think before you talk. You obviously know nothing about the raptors organization.

[Miniia]

The bulls made a great trade, they got Tyrus Thomas. That guy can play and he creates fast breaks with his monsterous blocks.

[Turqboy]

seattle and portland will go to the playoffs next year for sure, especialy as seattle have green, durant and allen now, there going to the eastern championships!, not all the way, wil be defeated by cavs, then nuggets vs suns in west, in 6 for the suns and suns will then do another 6 game series, GO SUNS!

[dnvmw1]

raptors are fuckin stupid

[MrKnoxville351]

I agree, they should have traded their 1st pick 2006 for the Portland Trailblazers 2007 1st pick at the time (2006). Fuck Bargeass.

[UserPicked510]

what happened 2 shelton williams ?!?!?!?

[lilokokokok]

stupied

[thedawg978]

he got picked by the hawks at like 8

[guitardude7889]

blazers got Brandon Roy & LaMarcus Aldridge last year. This year, we got Greg Oden, as well as a bunch of other good players. Blazers will have rookie of the year twice in 2 seasons. kevin pritchard is a godsend for rip city, thank god Whitsit is out (that terrible piece of shit). blazers will contend for a playoff spot this year, make it to the playoffs next year, and contend for the championship in 3 or so years. mark my words.

[OpusMach]

3 years is too soon, bet on it?

[MattJones1418]

na... durant will be roy... and ur words are marked down on youtube!... lollolollolololo

[nhoodjazz]

rudy gay was best player in 2006 draft...he will b an allstar ..mark my words

[jumpman135]

I think Aldridge, Bargnani, Tyrus Thomas, and Brandon Roy could be great.

[TheSwan06]

did morrison lose that freakin mostache yet?

[lbjflash]

wtf he sucks balls num.1 pick my ass. and who the hell is Lamarcus Aldridrigh

[Fox250R]

who is lamarcus? r u kidding? Noob

[cp3paul]

who da hell is da second pick???

[kiskifb4]

baregni was a beast anad without him the raptors wouldnt have made the playoffs

[asdkljcnaocasfdsa]

2006 draft-weakest draft EVER

[kb24forMVP]

Weakest draft ever? I doubt it. Even if no one else does anything good, Andrea Bargnani and Brandon Roy are going to be superstars in this league.

[vinnywang]

bargnani sucks ass the raptors only did good this year because of chris bosh and no help from the sucky ass number 1 pick chris bosh can play

[asdkljcnaocasfdsa]

lol have u watched a single raptor game?

[kb24forMVP]

You're a dumbass. Andrea is going to be great in this league.

[sportsguyz]

I knew the B'cats should've gotten Brandon Roy back when they made this pick.

[kb24forMVP]

Yeah for real. Imagine that line up Felton, Roy, Wallace, Okafur and Primo, would be looking good for the future. Instead we got a homeless man's version of Bird that even he didn't want.

[jasonstheory]

I agree that Roy would have been a better pick than Morrison. But give the guy a chance. Gees. It's only his first season. Just look at players like Jermaine O'neil, he took a long time to develop, and now he is one of the top forwards in the game.

[kb24forMVP]

J. O'Neal is a different story though. JO jumped straight from high school, didn't get any playing time, and then was shipped off to Indiana where he got a chance. Morrison was a senior in college I do believe (correct me if I'm wrong), and has received playing time. Being great in college doesn't always translate to being great in the NBA. Still, Morrison will be a good player none the less.

[jasonstheory]

Ahh, you make a few good points there. I'll give you that.

How'd you like todays pick? I thought Brandan Wright was a top 3 talent. They made out like bandits in my opinion.

[dunkerproductions]

buh

[miketysonisalegend]

wow tht was the best draft ive ever seen not wat a shit draft nuthn compared to dwyane wade nd lebron james

[jasonstheory]

Wow. Learn to spell. PLEASE!

[TARPY2]

jeez nba did u like dl this of of some 1 from msn jesus its terible qualty i can easily get this better

[Khamilli0naire]

bargani sucks

[wallypalooza]

wtf are you talking about?? you obv. dont know shit about basketball. if he didnt get sick near the end of the season, he would have had lot better chance of winning rookie of the year

[Khamilli0naire]

hey did bargani win rookie of the year? i didnt see who won that...

[wallypalooza]

it was brandon roy. he had a crazy year, but the vote would have been closer if barngani didnt get sick

[friskyfixedit]

Roy was injured half the year and still won in a landslide. Not even close

[zantron]

yeah right, bargnani is good as shit

[Khamilli0naire]

no he sucks

[natyong]

What a weak draft!!!

[wafflefanatic23]

yea goo raps!!

[Ghettoman30002000]

best player ever

[reesespuffs071894]

hahahahahaha thats funny your kidding right

[jasonstheory]

Who was he refering to?

[reesespuffs071894]

don't know all i know is that it wasn't michael jordan

[jasonstheory]

Lol, that's EXACTLY what I was thinking...

[urbansmokePDX]

portland trailblazers are going to be one of the best teams in the league...look at all the players we have...too much talent..its unfair

[x3jane]

never ever draft white-boy

[tab1990]

especially an Italian

[elmerspooglue]

racist. andrea bargani and adam morrison have both been great players.

[vincnet11]

How about Chinese.

[jasonstheory]

I'm white, and I find this pretty darn funny. Racist? Yes. But still funny!

[CBMaster2]

Nice Quality there NBA.

[mgphenom]

No lie.. its the NBA.. you'd think they could do better than a Repost of someone elses footage that they ordered removed... especially with this just being last years... dude..

[wint3rzx]

No joke.

[shotbboy]

nba really really really needs to get some better quality on youtube

[TyCazz]

morrison needs a shave
