1987 NBA Draft - 3 - Dennis Hopson, Ohio State

[rabbijose55]

if marshon brooks ends up lik him im gonna b pissd

[MrRolaCosta]

though he failed in the NBA he was an exciting player, he used to play in Israel for most of his career, was my favorite player as a kid, he had no constant shot but he was athletic as hell and run the floor well

[mozisgod1]

this is why im glad rick barry isnt on these shows anymore, great player but had NO eye for talent, i remember him being shocked ed o bannon wasnt taken top 3

[Crabman2186]

Dennis Hopson and Greg Oden what do they have in common? They are both top 5 biggest NBA bust of all time

[WSBT960]

Guess they should of picked Kenny Smith huh?

[grasd2]

what a bust

[Shembeatz]

it's just prove that you can be the best talent but if you don't have the character to play with the best in the world, you'll probably end up in very small city team in Israel, like he did. he was an amazing player, I came to every game, but he wasn't a winner

[whoopdewhoop]

Its funny to listen to the commentators talk about the highlights of the players, because they don't do that during the drafts now.

[seeehorn]

Dennis Hopson....the original NEXT MICHAEL JORDAN!! How funny was it when Rick Barry said "Dennis Hopson and Pearl Washington could develop into an outstanding backcourt"??

1987Hawkeyes, you're right it's better to see the original video of sporting events without the NBATV and/or ESPNClassic logos all over the screen. You have a GREAT collection of videos, makes sure you keep these up. There was another guy who had a spectacular collection of original sports videos, but he removed his.

[CanduterioCortes]

I dont know why he couldnt play as good as was spected in the NBA. I saw him playing in Spain for a year and probably was one of the best north-american players that i have seen playing in our league.

At least Hopson got a ring with the bulls in 1991, just riding the bench.

[jaboo82681]

yeah thats all he did was ride the pine, and got traded to the Kings at the start of the 91-92 season

[Crabman2186]

@mnacct So did Adam Morrison and Darko Milliac
