Top 12 Best NBA Draft Picks from the Past 25 Years

[David001398]

WTF Micheal jordan #1 Kobe bryant #2 Lebron james #3 wheres larry bird ik switch larry bird with shaq

[690169]

ummmm...David Robinson 14th ?? No way he should be top 5

[iTSurabuS06]

LMAO, Lebron in the white suit, lol.

[asianrelrel]

this honestly makes me tear up.

[ChromeX321]

Jordan has 6 rings, he should be number one. Plain and simple. Kobe or LeBron at second.

[Shootboxing08]

This is all out of order hopefully lol cause Jordan should be #1 and as for #2 and #3 I would say 2nd LeBron James and 3rd Kobe Bryant or other way around depending on opinion but no doubt Kobe and LeBron are best choices made since your Royal Airness himself. If the 50 greatest player in nba history list was to add 2 slots it will be Kobe and LeBron added hands down whoever disagrees doesn't know basketball lol. (BTW I think he didnt put D.Rose cause he was drafted just a yr prior to da vid lol

[Rockas31]

Where is the white mamba?

[Tstar54]

#2 and 1 are mixed up

[MultiFreelilboosie]

niqqa michel jordan should be number 1 miqqqqqqqqqqqaaaaaaaaa

[KewlMiamiPeeps]

#4 tim duncan he should b #12 #11 d wade he should b #9 # 3 KOBE BRYANT should b #1000 #7 lebron should b # 1 AND NUMBER #1 SHAQ AND #1 SHAQ GET YOUR ASS OUT OF HERE

[kyyab]

Kobe sould of been 1 shaq sucks and wat about D.Rose

[chipiboy1]

are you guys stupid? shaq deserves #1 he was unstoppable as a rookie and was successful throughout his career. think about it the only reason that you are saying kobe jordan or lebron is because jordan is who you only hear about and that he was the best player in history. kobe because of his rings and leader ship and lebron because he was out of high school and now plays with 2 other stars. you look down on shaq because hes retired and he was not a force the last of his years but give him credit

[MrJacza]

@chipiboy1 Yea but Michael Jordan is the best Basketball player ever so he shold #1 and lebron James is at least #4 or #5

[newyorkfan1616]

anyone know the music? 

[TheChucky4664]

HAHHAHA LOL at hornets fan thinking he is getting kobe

[MrNate198722]

jordan should be number one

[KDurantly]

@MrNate198722 number 2,

[lilmoe102]

i think this is a great order. you got Kobe Bryant third then mj then shaq. he was UNGUARDABLE in his prime.

[MrNonzi]

@lilmoe102 Shaq was mostly ungaurdable because the ones that could guard him retired in the 2000's

[awesome1ful]

shaq my fav player

[BubbleeeZx]

Ah, those were the days right?

[dgh495]

is shaq then jordan retard

[mkirylka]

melo man

[mkirylka]

Carmelo ? Larry bird ? Magic Johnson ?

[newyorkfan1616]

@mkirylka from 2008 it said the last 25 years and magic was drafted in 1979 and bird was drafted in 1978 so that would explain it.

[MultiTheCreator]

were da fuck is len bias?

[memphisblues78]

why is kobe a good pick when they traded him?

[TheAdrianMada]

Manu ginobili and Tony Parker are the bests

[pampillone]

maybe the best one is manu ginobili if you consider he was the 57th overall pick

[tru3187]

straight up where is A.I?

[Balanar0Night0Stalk]

I think 1 and 2 should change position

[TheTallgeese30]

I like your list but you missed few keys players like: Iverson, D. Robinson, Magic Johnson, L. Bird

[85cuemaster]

Allen Iverson???

[SMALL3ification]

WHAT??SHAQ OVER MIKE?????

[Mkvl87]

Where are: Iverson, Allen, Mutombo?

[100jokes]

If bryant stays: CP3 + Bryant WOCHA!!!!!

[13jneal]

i agree with shaq being 1st he was the only one to dominate as a rookie jordan didnt really become a superstar till his 2nd and 3rd year and lebron is good but not dominating

[Saberq1]

@13jneal lebron is good but not dominating?you are an idiot

[13jneal]

@Saberq1 ummm shaq was dominating shaq couldn't be stopped when he was younger. Lebron is good but he does not dominate. I am lebron fan but he can do better than he does. he chooses to shoot 3s when noone can stop him from dunking. he can be a dominate force but he doesn't have the mentality to do it yet

[Saberq1]

@13jneal not yet but he is still the most dominating person in the NBA bar none ....

[13jneal]

@Saberq1 true

[Cytron36]

Am i Mistaken or did it say that lebron was a guard?

[coconazareth]

The Chicago BULLS Select "The Best Basketball Player Ever to play ball" Michael Jordan.

[badmintonlover]

i'm sure everyone's heard this before, but i bet, charlotte were regretting it that they traded kobe lol

[josh4thewin]

LeBron and Kobe are one of the best of all time. Without them their teams (lakers and cavs) would have been nothing

[TheRealxDave]

@josh4thewin actually lakers where something before kobe and after kobe was huge but before him they had magic johnson and kareem abdul jabbal

[josh4thewin]

@TheRealxDave no i mean currently

[celticpride859]

if you think that jordan should be ranked higher than shaq then you people need to get off the most over hyped player's dick....seriusly!! i have shaq as the top 2 in most dominate big men ever in the NBA. and i have jordan in the bottom 15 players in the nba history.

[TheJulianthegreat]

@celticpride859 You have pretty good sarcasm, I mean no one would really be that stupid right?

[lolblastumm]

Patrick Ewing rigged draft don't count that shit

[melo15atceltics]

NOT IN ORDER AND MISSING ALLEN IVERSON!

[bigmoneyluke2]

kwame brown should be #1

[dkuan01]

kobe still look the exact same today when he was 18 yr old, like he doesnt look younger like all other players

[dan22eatmypoo]

@dkuan01 Patrick Ewing looks old too

[PHATZACH76]

Being from that generation watching the best from the Bulls and Jordan, and seeing Shaq's career take off I say bravo sir you are correct.  Quoting the great one himself ' I was first pick on draft day morning not Christian Laettner not Alonzo Mourning"

[KWCline91]

1. Jordan

2. Olajuwon

3. Ewing

4. O'Neal

5. Bryant

6. James

[infinitidoug]

@KWCline91 now this is a list i can agree with. all six places perfectly picked imo

[shmohammad23]

d wade is 11th? r u on crack? he should b top 5

[davincci18]

Where is Michael Olowokandi???

[RelieveZ]

1996

v

[RelieveZ]

Best Draft years were 1985 and 1997

[asbam4]

if the pick didn't end up with a championship they shouldn't be on the list

[bigman52100]

SHAQUILE OVER MICHEAL!!!

[damroll]

Patrick Ewing looks like he is ready to retire..

[prettykt20]

i stop watching 0:21 he put Kevin Garnett over The Admiral in 14.

[adnan6k]

Iverson, nowitzki, I miss that gays, and shaq for MJ you mast been high when you do the last two,,,,,,,

[christophersdin]

[BbausZ]

[mrhotdog119]

Abdul-Jabbar????

[iamright94]

@mrhotdog119 its says draft picks of the last 25 years. abdul- jabbar is like 40 years ago...

[sotosfrancy]

patrick ewing and kevin garnett over david robinson??

[xlilvincanityx]

Pete Maraviche was better than John Stockton

[TheFunnyJustin]

I bet the Hornets are pissed that they traded Kobe

[TRiBUTE92]

@TheFunnyJustin what about housten or trail blazers who could have had MJ ( i know housten won 2 rings with olajuwon )

[agonyfire]

I hate david stern

[bballer293]

3:28 malone with the big dick

[Wannybin]

must of had a shaw pack at bk when doin this video.

[JustLucky98]

where's allen iverson @.@

[snoo]

lol mj fought 80's, 90's, 2000 era.. epic fail!

[JohnnyJohn116]

Quite a few players should have been ahead of Shaq - he was such a waste of talent and could have done so much more if he had worked just a little harder.

[Humance]

20yo Pat = 40yo Pat :O

[kalslaffin]

Kobe demanded a trade out of Charlotte, he pulled an Eli Manning and said I'm not going to play here. The Hornets weren't stupid

[detroitbakko]

shaq number 1? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA switch with MJ

[bernotas27]

shaq was good back in the day

[tomerik112]

LOL Ewing looks like a 30 year old :D:D

[Iviljar]

Don't forget:

Ginobili Pick 58

Boozer 2 round

Stephen Jakson 2 round

[BaileyNBennett]

@Iviljar monta ellis second round too



[Nick25Slick]

that's is one of the worst calls ever shaq sucks Kobe should be 2nd Jordan should be first whoever made this doesnt know basketball

[yungandthuggin1]

wheres magic????

[wallysblack]

R u serious? Jordan 6 rings

Shaq 4 rings

[JCRIBBSANDMCCOY]

how is the greatest not number 1?

[dc1823]

woulda thought ewing is a more better pick than stockton

[meyman1212]

minesota timberwolves 5th pick Ronnie Fields..... this is not fair

[immigrationdude5]

Where's Kwame brown?

[Nick25Slick]

@immigrationdude5 kwame brown are you gay

[immigrationdude5]

@Nick25Slick Dude i was joking. Calm down

[Deadlygangsta]

where the hell is allen iverson??? clearly this video had most of the best...but Dwayne Wade??? are you serious?

[piotraveli]

where's Allen Iverson?

[J0HN119]

Where's scalabrine?

[pottermonster]

All these guys are legends :)

[adriponte]

1º Michael Jordan 2º Kobe Bryant 3º Shaquille O'Neal 4º Tim Duncan 5º Hakeem Olajuwon 6º Kevin Garnett 7º LeBron James 8º Dwyane Wade 9º Karl Malone 10º John Stockthon 11º Charles Barkley 12º Patrick Ewing

[deguesstheboxingfan]

KOBE WAS NUMBER 13?!? THAT'S RETARDED!

And wow, I think it should switch around Jordan and O'Neal...

[Allistar123]

@deguesstheboxingfan not really...had he stayed with the Hornets he would have probably never won a ring or come close. Kobe is a bad piece to build around, he is more of a pippen than say michael. still a great player but nothing without a lot of help.

[ToFreshAce]

lol yea shaq n mj should b switched, mj acomplished so much in 14 seasons, dat shaq couldnt accomplish in 19 seasons n were is iverson??

[themange59]

TBH I don't think Centers should be on this list, they always go in the top spots and are usually busts but they still go first a lot. Nash should be on here IMO and Nowitzki and I agree that Kobe or Jordan should be number one, either of them were more of a gamble than Shaq.

[belikethat00]

WHERE IS ALLEN IVERSON? COME ON.. GIVE HIM A CREDIT.. ;)

[jaun100]

shaq ahead of jordan, kobe and lebron?? PLS TELL ME YOU WERE HIGH WHEN YOU DID THIS

[bird33mchale32]

@jaun100 I think the point of this video is supposed to be teams that not made a great pick not an OBVIOUS pick.

[IGORSWAG]

@jaun100 kobe and jordan are the best 

[infinitidoug]

@jaun100 Shaq being ahead of Lebron is okay, but DEFINITELY NOT AHEAD OF JORDAN AND KOBE

[dsharpshooter87]

@infinitidoug You're overrating Kobe. Without Shaq, he would only have 2 rings. When Shaq was in his prime, he was unstoppable. The guy who made this video is an idiot for putting Shaq above Jordan though.

[KnicksObsession11]

is it me or does Patrick Ewing look like he's 40 even when hes in his early 20's?

[Jerfunkel]

How can Tim Duncan be in this video? He wouldn't be in my top 25

[PoloRugbyBoyNigga]

@Jerfunkel LOL? one of the best power fowards to play the game they even say he is the best in my opinion not THE BEST but one of the best he has 4 rings THAT HE DIDNT NEED ALL STAR PLAYERS TO COME FROM DIFF TEAMS TO HELP HIM he was the star of the San antonio so thats how hes in this vid

[PoloRugbyBoyNigga]

@Jerfunkel LOL? one of the best power fowards to play the game they even say he is the best in my opinion not THE BEST but one of the best he has 4 rings THAT HE DIDNT NEED ALL STAR PLAYERS TO COME FROM DIFF TEAMS TO HELP HIM he was the star of the San antonio so thats how hes in this vid

[iamright94]

@Jerfunkel are you serious? he led his team to four nba championships. one of the greatest and most underrated players to ever play the game

[jao3310]

where's melo?

[YouGotJEWD]

@jao3310 LOOOOL MELO??? Yeah yeah where is Vince Carter? LOL

[balberty9]

or a 2 time nba mvp in Nash picked 15th......or Paul Pierce picked 12th

[balberty9]

Kobe picked 13th shoulda been number 1 tbh.....

[SuperLakers88]

hey man where is Sam Bowie?

[Seamooo7]

why wud shaq pick b ahead of jordan.....Jordan better player, and was picked at 3!!!!...............that Hornets Kobe one is hillarious still!!! How different things cud have been!!

[aimskjs]

Olajuwon shoulda been #1

[thatguynamed20rick]

What majestic music

[JordanaClan]

Kobe Bryant Charlotte hornets really?

[amateurUSsportvideos]

@JordanaClan i guess so... i bet hornets fans' are still crying about trading kobe today

[therayallenfan1]

wheres bill russuel wilt chamb

[hasdrubal216]

@therayallenfan1 last 25 years, otherwise they'd be here

[chicityjoka]

someone is a shaq fan do u know how luck the bulls got jordan teamms passed him up no one saw it shaq should never rank over jordan ever

[Nicolito97811]

2:20



[DRBebo812]

Really Shaq over Jordan? Really?

[ShaZy11]

wow wtffff you put tim duncan on this list?!? where's magic? allen? iverson? tsk tsk

[kilowatha]

At 3:44 The Beats By Dr. Dre Symbol IS in the UPPER RIGHT CORNER

[mv996]

Performance vs draft pick value ? Then jordan should be 1, kobe should be 2. Yes shaq was dominant, but bryant and jordan were 13th and 3rd pick.

[Munger88]

epic song, great picks as well.

[nicwiz]

@casonrocks311 Erick Dampier or Von Wafer lol

[nicwiz]

I think shaq and jordan should be switched around

[Hagarheadou812]

@nicwiz jordan only had 3 rings with Rodman. 

[nicklion68]

Patrick Ewing looked old on his rookie year.

[ReklawLah]

The Jordan pick should certainly be #1. I mean, Shaq was a no-brainer with the first overall pick.

[latmar]

Jordan at number 2? Are you kidding me?

[bandanaboy47]

basketball tv... PINOY!!!

[kingballer7]

SHAQ has always been a clown. I LOVE IT!

[JKillz4632]

Man, I know it's tough to do these types of rankings, but how can you leave Pippen and Nowitzki off of this list. They are both better than Malone, Barkley, Wade and Stockton. I think Malone and Barkley should've been left off this list altogether and Nash and Robinson/Dumars should be moved up. And O'neill over Jordan and Bryant? That's foolish.

[thinuu]

why the hell r there 1 picks they were obviously expected to be good

[raiger89]

does patrick ewing ever age??

[UltimateSportsFan1]

I think Michael and Shaq should switch but nice vid

[BatkoBrat]

Lebron in white suit... so bad :D

[ArmoredFelix]

Overall this was a horrible list. You should be ashamed. Watch some basketball before you do something like this.

[ArmoredFelix]

Kobe is a legit pick.

[ArmoredFelix]

Hakeem 5 lol stop, you actually are trolling. Tim Duncan ahead of him. LOL

[ArmoredFelix]

Lebron James 7.............oh my god. You're trolling man, This list has no credibility at all.

[c4lifornication]

Barkley > Ewing

[138Bellside]

Shaq has made the bigest impact in the nba he dominated better than anyone else

[EliasJordan3]

Why are Ewing, Lebron, Hakeem, Duncan and Shaq in there? They were number 1 picks. And how the fuck is Shaq 1st??? Kobe and MJ are better and they weren't drafted 1st.

[rcinglad]

wtf?!?!?! lebron should be #1

[Pjampr]

I ALMOST DIE WAIT FOR SHAQ AND IS THE NUM 1 HELL YEAH!!!

[NickB33]

Yeh MJ should've been #1 on the basis that he was taken 3rd. Great otherwise.

[bolthammer3]

Where is th MVP derrick rose????????

[DRoseOverNoes]

@bolthammer3 lmfao that's exacylt who i was waiting for he should've been number two and jordan number #1

[dhn09]

KWAME BROWN MVP! BEST NBA PLAYER EVER!!!!!!

[Antonaras8ura7]

JOE SMITH ROUND 1 PICK 1 LOL

[kcarra1]

where's drose?



[SuperThefunnyguys]

ur a dumbass shaq isnt better then micheal

[tonedefaqua100]

really shaq is better than the greatest of all time ?jorden what?

[vcownzraptors]

shaq should be number 2 than mj

[OostrangeBrewoO]

allen iverson???? please...he is not worthy. mult scoring champ/mvp and a head ache in the locker room. magic johnson should of been on that top 3.

[hanielroswell1981]

shaq????!!! number 1???????!!!!!! are you kidding me? kobe and jordan should have rank higher than that. i say jordan 1 and kobe 2. or vice versa.

[ShadowNightGamer]

@hanielroswell1981 Are you retarted? He's going by how good they were thought of coming into the league. MJ was talked about like how John Wall is today, good but still haves to prove himself. And Kobe came into the league averaging like 10ppg while Shaq was averaging 29ppg in his rookie year.

[hanielroswell1981]

@ShadowNightGamer if i'm retarted, then you must be high from sniffing glue if you still think shaq is better than jordan. the title is best NBA draft. so their ranking should be base on achievement made during their NBA career, not just what they accomplished before the draft. and i'm sure the majority of the people will agree with me.

[ShadowNightGamer]

@hanielroswell1981 Nobody said he was better you idiot... I was saying Shaq's draft was #1 because he was more talked about coming into the league than Kobe and MJ. MJ wasn't talked about until he proved himself dropping a lot of 20+ games in his rookie season. Kobe wasn't widely until he won the dunk contest. And this video is about the top 12 draft picks by what they accomplished in their rookie season aswell which Shaq was very dominate in his.

[hanielroswell1981 <]

@ShadowNightGamer daammmnnn boy, the way you were talking about point and averages i was sure you tot shaq was better than jordan. nice save btw. the bottom line is nobody care what there did before the draft. its the talent behind the player that makes them great. anybody can be 7 ft 300 lbs and dominate the game. but it take real talent to be the greatest, thats something shaq will never be. so stick that in pipe and smoke it!!
