Hey Guys, I realize I misspoke on some parts:
AI was voted to the Top 75 Team in 2001 [2021],
Ray Allen played for 8 years [18],
Ray Allen won the championship with the Heat in 2003 [2013],
Wright's ex-wife was sentenced in 2009 [2019].
This video was a beast to make but I had a lot of fun…
Thanks for watching!

Those teams were foolish.
’’''''"""""""""""”"""""""""""""""" how many you mf 😂😂😂😂
A.I. is the truth. Kobe was great too but A.I. was special. We haven’t seen another A.I. and never will
Kobe was right outta HS… ppl forget it was a different time.. if he plays 1 year in college he would be no 1 pick the next year… so this isn’t a fair video… Kobe is the closest thing to Jordan…
Sharif refused to play in Vancouver. And is the reason why that franchise had to leave Vancouver. A$$hat
What an amazing draft
They didnt die in a helicopter crash
Iverson is the best example how important is to have a proper management in a team. They got Ferrari and used it for Sunday grocery…
AI was worth every minute
Allen Iverson Aka The Answer is my favorite basketball player no questions asked
Steph was a bad man! There were some "Bad Mama Jamas" in this draft!
Excellent video
They stayed alive
Bryant forced the trade
The organization sacfice him
Steve Nash MVP is crap lol it should have been shaq or kobe
as a raptors fan, this video is like salt in the wound
What happened to the players that were drafted before Nikola Jokic?
As a long time Warriors fan, I remember Eric Dampier was named "The Hands of Stone."
DEAR GOD GIVE US BACK KOBE BRYANT AND WILL GIVE U KAZ KAMWI !!!
The goat
20 years with his favorite team growing up.
He's Like the 2nd best player in the nba
whole draft class damn near hall of famers
13 pick wtf ….shows you his work ethic !!! Long live kobe
Mamba!!!
This hits differently now
Legends never die,rest in peace
RIP, Mamba out
This Video is 59 minutes too short.
He proved that not always the 1# picks in the draft class are betters….
Lebron >>>>>>>>>kobe… 4mvps >>>>>>>1mvps…… 3 finals mvps >>>>>>2 finals mvps….. 3 rings >>>>>>>>>> 2 rings (shaq owns the other three because he was number 1 option/Finals MVPs)
This video should really open some eyes. While watching all the other players in this draft class, even the all-stars and MVP's…none of them had the duration that Kobe had. Everyone else is washed up and retired. If you think about it, if Kobe didn't suffer the Achilles injury he would still be averaging 20-25 points per game. Insane.
#13 pick…
Where's the one with him baptising Howard ?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Put aside all the busts and dissapointments. the 1996 draft class was a great class, some of the guys like Kobe, AI, Nash, Peja, Jermaine, Allen, Starbury, Antoine Walker made the game look so entertaining offensively. On the defensive side, Camby and Dampier were good on defense. Some of them made multiples times all-star games, played in NBA Finals and even got the taste of winning it all. No disrespect to 1984 and 2003 Draft Class, both of them answered our expectations.. but when i look back 20 years ago…man this class changing the NBA and the 2000's era really great. Maybe NBA should make a documentary, when some of them inducted to the Hall of Fame
The Nets were gonna pick him at 8 until Kobe's agent and that Adidas guy that handled Kobe's endorsement threatened the Nets not to do it.
13th pick? Dang. Well, I hope he has an OK career at least. Can't expect much out of a 13th pick.
