There were 12 players drafted before Kobe Bryant. How did that happen? And how did their careers turn out?

This video could honestly be summed up as:
1996 was a great draft and high schoolers weren't really appreciated at the level they soon would.
All that said, this is quickly becoming one of my favorite series on YT. Please keep these up man!
They're HIGH SCHOOLERS; what level of "appreciation" have they earned??
{replies something about KG, LeBron & T-Mac, ignores the likes of Telfair & Kwame Brown, let alone those we've forgotten cos "never made it"}
@@darrengordon-hill to be fair though, there were excellent college players who played like shit in the NBA. So it's a gamble either way you look at it.
@@jamesdjl4359
2% (and that's being generous).
That's as much of the NCAA that get drafted, let alone signed.
"College basketball" is about playing in exchange for education in order to pursue a career (medicine, finance, law etc).
Many go on to play internationally (there's *so much* "professional basketball) the average NBA fan is unaware of) - demonstrating they are, to a degree/certain level, "professional athletes".
Now, what do you think the percentage is of HS players making it *college* let alone the NBA at 18?
And would the bulk of the "1 & done" players in PHX be better now without that year/gap/experience?
Shaq outta HS?
Sure.
But not Tim Duncan.
And maybe not Kwame either.
It’s because it was risky to draft him, as he said he wanted to be in a big franchise
Kobe was also 17 when he was drafted, so imagine a guy in your high school going to the nba
There's not even 12 people ahead of him *all time* now lol
Here come the Kobe haters...
I am surprised how that arent here yet
Timing is everything - two years in college and he's the consensus #1 pick (& the "Clippers/Lakers" rivalry begins (instead, they ended up with Olawakandi)).
@@Pr0d3gi Kobe averaged 28/5/5 on 56% True Shooting (that's more efficient than Tim Duncan) for 14 seasons before his injury. He won 5 rings, 1 MVP, was 15x All NBA, 12x All Defense, and is easily top 10 all time. Sorry dude, you're completely wrong
Voltaire and has the most missed shots in nba history and 32/110 in game winners.
that pic of kobe in a celtics jersey is a cursed image and should never be shown. ever.
I wanted to vomit when I saw that
Why?
What's wrong with it?
@@resurrectedpa Lakers hate the Celtics mutually,Biggest rivalry in basketball
@@yossimelamed9555 ... ohh
Why was Anthony Benett drafted before 59 other players
This is it
Why was Anthony Bennett drafted.
@@j.l.9029 Why does Anthony Bennett exist.
@@aedexdex9660 hey he was a great college player! Us UNLV fans loved him! But we all were surprised that he went number one really wished he did something great in the NBA but Biggest bust of all time lol
I'm dying
"Why Cleveland passed on the first NBA Champion of the 2003 draft class - Darko"
Darren Gordon-Hill 😂😂😂
Darren Gordon-Hill Stern would not allow it as the Cavs would be the first team to win 82 games in consecutive seasons
Darren Gordon-Hill and all parody would be lost
@@alanespejel465
*PARITY*
Equal.
Not "parody" (joke version of) - y'all watch too much porn!!
I laughed. For real.
Kobe was bald in high school but got hair once he’s in the league...
Steroids
JK lol
I was wondering the same thing maybe he got a transplant
he wanted to look like jordan
He got a buzz cut
Why were 59 people drafted before Isaiah Thomas
Cuz he very smol
Because hes at best a spark off the bench, despite what that stint in Brad Stevens system that makes even Terry Rozier look good would have people think he can be an MVP caliber player. IT is an absolute defensive liability, and hes even too short to see over a pick and roll so he can't be a quality facilitator, and the league is a defensive switch league where they take advantage of mismatches. All it takes is a screen or two and IT is switched onto a big or a wing he can't hope to stop.
ImAviex IT is actually one of the best scorers per 36 min in modern nba history. He Led Boston Celtics to the playoffs twice & once all he way to the 1 seed with a lackluster roster full of cast offs. Boston also had top 15 defense both years. He also averaged 29 ppg on good efficiency and a high ftr in a mvp caliber season. By all measures AND without any jealous bias ... *ahem* ... *you*... he is a proven star pg when healthy.
That video would be like 3 hours
@Lifes a Beach LOL
Next why there were 0 players drafted before lebron James here’s why
Bruh I type that then saw this and deleted my comment lmao
Who were the players chosen before lebron James and where are they at now
@@clutchbrook4820 Nobody and they are nowhere. *video gets extended to 10 minutes*
"Why Cleveland passed on the first NBA Champion of the 2003 draft class - Darko"
Why you disrespecting Allen Iverson like that like he was a bum drafted before Kobe
KG and Bryant on a team together, man. You have two guys who were so similar in terms of intensity, mindset and work ethic.
Could have been a better duo than him and shaq. Almost surely would have been imo!
@@troliskimoskowon’t even lie, longevity wise both players where on similar timelines, although there might’ve been a little clash on who’s team it actually was and who was the main Superstar
@@somregularguy Basically the same issue with Shaq and Kobe i suppose
nobody:
dom2k: as a matter of fact...
I
I read this and he said it at the same time talking about Ray Allen... that’s crazy asf 😂😂😂
“He even studied how sharks hunted seals to guard iverson”
This sounds like one of those fake mamba mentality memes on Instagram but it worked I gusse 😂
Search iverson kobe highlight video. Kobe mentions it
Nah it’s real
Two picks later at 15 was Steve Nash! So many teams missed out on two MVP players lol
Michael Delgado Steve Nash was only mvp because nba wanted to boost ratings in Canada eithe SHAQ or KObE should have won mvp that year don’t ever bring up Steve Nash!!!
@@tjmalone21387 which year are you talking about
Prince Hill both years Nash won mvp
Tom Malone nah
3 mvps, don't forgot AI
The 1996 draft was wild man, Steve Nash went even later Ben Wallace wasn't even drafted
You should do a 3 part video series of why 59 players were drafted before Isaiah Thomas
@@Matt-os2zn because of his height simple
No because he'll never finish the last part
@@therealone935 Why not?
Cause dumb people under estimate
It’s not even worth the time lol
You should talk about the players drafted above Dirk Nowitzki and Paul Pierce.
Next do why two players were selected ahead of MJ or a vid on the Shaq trade saga and places he could’ve ended up after getting traded from LA.
The MJ video will be like 10 seconds long
That MJ video idea is dumb af, Hakeem was going number one and the Trail Blazers had Clyde so they weren't tryna get another SG. There no video needed.
The dream and Sam Bowie
@@ImAviex either one of them could've played the 3. The blazers just thought Bowie would be good and didnt know he would be so injury prone.
MJ videos a dumb idea Hakeem was clearly going 1 to Houston Bc at the time he was pretty much fully nba ready and Portland took Sam Bowie who looked like the better play and played good for a couple of seasons but then got injured
This could be your most viewed video just watch especially since Kobe has been in the media lately
Redrafting the 96 draft:
1. Kobe
2. A.I
3. Ray Allen
4. Steve Nash
5. Peja
6. Big Ben
Everybody else
MrAVGNdude no love for Ray Ray
Mark Jackson he's 4 then everybody else lol
Peja Stojakovic ?
5 Peja
6 Jermaine
7 Camby
8 Marbury
9 Ilgauskus
10 Shareef
@@yvans. 5th
Lol if you think Kobe didn’t like shaq imagine him playing with iverson
😯
"We talking bout practice"
A match made in hell! But on the otherhand who knows, maybe the Sixers needed someone like Kobe who was just as talented to stand up to Iverson.
Shaq always said he like A.I they probably would of gotten along with they work ethics
It’s so sad he’s gone now
Rip Kobe
You should do one of these on Karl Malone, who was also drafted 13th overall.
CajunAzn lmao
I think Karl was drafted 5th or 6th.
and Stockston too while he's at it
all of the points he scored would not be possible without Stockton and Sloan
What's hilarious....the BULLS with MJ, coulda taken Malone. Think "Jordan and Malone" woulda been (or worked) better than Jordan & Pippen? Would Malone be so "great" if he didn't have the best PG passing to him out of the pick n roll? Sometimes, situations make players great. [In all sports] Gretzky, LeBron, Brady, etc.
RIP Kobe
Man Jerry West and Danny Ainge are two men I wouldn't do business with. Best GMs in the League.
Imagine them doing a deal between THEMSELVES; who wins that trade....
Well, that's because Red already passed away.
Uncle Jrue a man that i would always do business is THE KNICKS WHOLE FRANCHISE
Why one player was drafted before Darko Milicic and what happened to him.
Can’t believe the cavs wasted a pick when they could’ve gotten the true GOAT
Kayman234 Probably some bum
Darko milicic was a scrub but at least he was better than Kobe
That's blasphemy.
There is only one true GOAT.
Brian Scalabrine.
Darko was the first player to win a ring from the 2003 draft
@@ZebsWorld You forgot Tayshaun Prince belong to that Draft.
The rookie that convinced Miller that it's time to retire.
Thank You 🙏🏾 Kobe for all the joy and entertainment you brought us.
#MambaForever
Why were 14 players drafted ahead of Steve Nash tho? 🤔
Kimar Origami ikr
Seeing Kobe in a Celtics jersey just feels wrong...
Miguel Yusay thinking about him in a Toronto jersey lmao
Facts
Ikr i feel dirty looking at it
R.I.P Kobe 💔
Well all I can say about this is, good things come to those that wait and work hard. Kobe!!!
He said “Kobe once said he watched sharks hunt seals to learn how to guard iverson.. I don’t even know how that works”
You should do all the big prospects before Isaiah Thomas, and Kawhi Leonard
@@Matt-os2zn ah 3 parts
Kawhi is my favorite player but who knows how good he would've ended up being without developing in San Antonio. I'd like to think he still would've been something close to this in Indiana because he's a workhorse
KRML_DRIZZ _ we know why Isaiah went last pick...he’s short asf. U wouldn’t draft him either
@@Matt-os2zn as a celtics fan, he is playing like a #60 pick
Anybody else got this video recommended on the day he died.... 😭🐐🐍
Minnesota SORELY regret that trade - one of the worst, even without hindsight.
KG, Ray (if not Kobe), Guglliota + a solid vet PG keeping them all fed and happy > Marbury wanting to be their "Iverson".
Like when KG played with Terrell Brandon and Sam Cassell
The shark study worked because players like Stockton, iverson and miller were always moving and were aggressive like sharks
For anyone curious about how Lorenzen Wright died, he was killed by his wife(with an accomplice i believe) for his 1 million dollar insurance policy
Meek hell
Man I never even played with the thought of a prime Kobe/Carter highlight reel, damn!
I'm always curious to see how Dom transitions from basketball to his sponsor
*disappointed
It's not as smooth/subtle as he seems to think they are
You mean to tell me, the Milwaukee Bucks could have drafted KOBE? Tell the scout manager I said in "my Office NOW. 👊🏾STAND STILL! Slap
Slap,✋🏾 Punch,🤛🏾"
Do Jimmy Butler now. he was pick #30
@Ethan Petro Just like how kawaii's draft profile said he couldnt score or play defense. All it takes is some development lmao
@@samcardenas1991 I could agree with that to a certain extent until the Kawhi comparison because kawhi is a rare case to me JB and kawhi aren't comparable to me I just prefer to watch Jimmy Butler
@@DarthKrellon23 I wasnt comparing them directly, just their situations.
Damn Dom. Really solid video. No matter how long it is, I'll be there to watch until the end
When Dom said marcus camby had 4 all defensive teams i was like, nah kobe had 12 lmaooo
Guy told you a fact... and your really was "No"??
I had never heard of Marbury until I went to a Knicks vs Spurs game in I think 2004. He was incredible. They won easily and he was the standout MVP. Serious baller, shame things didn’t go better in his NBA career
0 Players Got Drafted Before Lavar Ball, Here’s Why (P.S He scores more points than Lebron and Kobe combined when he was in college)
And Dwight
And Garnett
And he has clutch
I think this is a super dope series. Going thru all of the biggest steals and NBA History and discussing those who were picked before them. Loving this content as usual, Dom.
Shareef was a beast. Highly underrated. Not as good as Kobe - but he never got the appreciation he deserves.
Pencho Sakuzov Definitely, he was a 20 and 10 guy most of his career. Extremely versatile too.
I followed him since Berkeley
18:13 Proof kobe was ahead of his time 20,005
Ai and kobe on the same team would’ve been NUTS lmao 🤣🤔
it's called Team USA...
If Kobe and ai played on the same team for a considerable amount of time that team would probably hold the record for most missed shots than any team ever
Vancouver Grizzlies?!! damn i had to make sure I heard that right, i guess i learn something new everyday
Compare Iverson to Kobe first 5 years...after kobe gets real minutes...after the 2 year bench
Kobe was really the catalyst for HS kids have bigtime potential. I'm if it wasn't for him maybe lots of players needs to go to college to make it to pros .. (Rule Was Changed Later on).
Man Kobe and KG on the same team. That would have been scary
Gotta love this series
Why there were 0 players drafted in front of Anthony Bennett. (Because the cavs were idiots)
Every time I hear “ back of the rim “ I get the chills love ur vids dom been loyal since early 2016
Yo, like if you wanna see a "what if the Timberwolves drafted kobe"
Kobe and KG on the same squad? That woulda been crazy
Dude ima Philly fan from 8 years old I promise we wld never trade Kobe for Iverson his off the court problems made him relatable and more likeable in Philadelphia we truly love Iverson and Kobe he layed high school in Philly upper Marion and also how wld he have paired up with Vince ,Vince was drafted 98
He couldn't get off the bench behind Eddie Jones !
I came back to this video just to see that he is in fact trending as he said on Twitter. Congrats Dom!!
Ironic how Iverson and Carmelo’s careers ended up so similar.
I don’t really see the irony
@Kameraa They both got drafted really high, and were regarded as scorers who were incredibly popular and “changed the game.” Neither one really got any help, but neither one really wanted to conform to coaching. Therefore, neither won a championship. Both ended up on the 2007-08 Denver Nuggets, then promptly got traded several years later. Neither could change their games even in old age, both got waived in their final season, and both were dishonorably discharged from the NBA.
And both are shoo in 1st ballot hall of famers
GuyGamer217 lol yea buts that not ironic
Irony would be if a firehouse set on fire or something
#1) at that time not many scouts knew alot about Kobe
#2) he was just out of Highschool there wasn't alot of film on him
#3) he was only 18!
#4) he's not the only kid in America with talent....
#5) the N.B.A. ain't about one man.
#6) no college experience
#7) gotta show and prove! That's life...
Watching From Portugal
Keep it up
I must say Dom, this Why Were series is one of my favorites so far. Been a longtime fan. Keep it up
56 players drafted before Manu Ginobili ^_^
simple..teams foreign scouting wasn't great back then and teams didnt want a guy who they knew wouldn't come overseas for at least 3 years...manu
@@razkable Well aware of that, but would be pretty cool to outline an entire draft class for fun
Makes sense up until 7. Good top heavy draft followed up by unknowns. At that point you take Bryant and see what you got.
Walker just won Final 4, Camby lost the (semi?)Final, AI/Starbury/Ray stellar NCAA careers (conference rookie/player of the year etc)... almost like college ball is beneficial...
Darren Gordon-Hill I don’t see your point.
because, their potential was higher towards bean at that time
/endvideo
Shit your weird ass up
19:32 “You can end up with Kobe Bryant, or you can end up with a guy that gets punched by Kobe Bryant” 😂😂😂😂
You talked about Iverson like he isn’t the greatest pound for pound player of all time
Allen Iverson has always been great, diminishing role getting older whatever he a career 25 plus ppg player has 6ft tall
Never seen a 2k TH-camr trending
Imagine Kobe and Iverson. That would of been one hell of a guard duo
Vitaly Potapenko > Kobe Bryant
There is no debate. Appreciate greatness
Smh kids these days disrespecting the GOAT Vitaly
It’s actually pretty debatable, however although Kobe was cocky, he was still better
It’s actually pretty debatable, however although Kobe was cocky, he was still better
Who's coached in more games?
I rest my case.
@@Hidden_Seeker_ My favourite rookie card of all time... okay fine, 3nd favourite after George Zidek.
Yeah Kobe helped change that perception on high school players. It is a shame he fell that low in the draft but as a Laker fan I'm damn glad it turned out that way.
Greatest Draft Class Of All Time!💯
#96Gang🐐
Uh, 84. MJ, Akeem, Barkley, Stockston.
Bruh get with the times 2018 draft class deandre ayton,luka doncic,trae young,micheal porter,collin sexton etc
The Unpopular Opinionated Tennessean 96 was deeper
GamingWithMakiyah 03 was really top heavy with bosh wade LeBron and melo
Tarik Hill bruh none of those players have put up meaningful stats on a good team, Porter hasn’t even played a game and not to mention THEY’VE HAVENT EVEN PLAYED ONE SEASON
I like this series of "the players drafted before this superstar."
Do lebron next
why 33 players were drafted before the man who made mj look silly brian scalbrine
Dom you are a GOAT in my book.
the transition to his sponsor was strangely impressive?
Yo....just realized Antwan Walker started the Shimmy🔥🔥😦
I'm never able to watch these videos when they drop cause I'm always at work but I love these ones I try to watch them all so I just save to the watch later list lol keep up the good work bro I'm taking time out of 55 hour work weeks to watch your shit 😂😂

Damn kg and Kobe on the same team people would be committing suicide
why exactly?

Because there 2 of the greatest trash talkers of all time Kobe punched a couple people and kg told Tim Duncan happy Mother’s Day even though he knew his mother was dead
How does his hard drive survive so much magma ?? Haha really though keep up the great work Dom !
Who’s here after he died in a helicopter crash
