@@LockdownK I completely understand (because honestly, me too somewhat) and I know a LOT of people are gonna say he will (or should) make it on the MVP alone. But people forget that players with arguably better resumes than him are still not enshrined in Springfield (look at Chauncey Billups, for instance). But then again, Chris Webber, David Thompson, and Ralph Sampson are in, so I guess it's a wild card at this point
I feel like D. Rose beat the "What If??" He beat all odds to come back and show he was still a major problem....yeah he ain't no champion but he's more than worthy of a Hall Of Fame slot.
I’d say it’s Len Bias since we never got to see him in the league before he died. D Rose was a MVP caliber player who suffered injuries that made him regress. Len Bias was talked about possibly being better than Jordan when they were both coming out of college
Your writing really stands out compared to other nba TH-camrs. Concise and few grammatical and pronunciation errors. A lot of TH-camrs, you can tell when they slack off in writing scripts. You’re not one of them
I remember paying particular attention to this draft as well as the nfl draft because a lot of the guys were my age at this point. I was class of 05 in high school. Its an amazing honor just to get drafted. Hats off to all these dudes just for that. An incredible accomplishment 👏 bravo
It's crazy seeing how this draft turned out. Yes, there's always bust and players that suffer terrible injuries; but Rose, Beasley, Gordon and Mayo were supposed to run the NBA. They were running college basketball and getting all of the hype over everybody else from this draft. Then you have the players that couldn't adapt to the league changing.
Bruh, @lockdown I just discovered this channel and you are exactly the type of youtuber I've been looking for. A super smooth voice, interesting videos that are are super long so I can listen while on a drive or doing chores; you are awesome and keep it up!
i think drose still makes it to the HoF... his career reminds me of grant hill's... although hill was more productive than drose post-injury, drose actually won an MVP
At WVU Joe Alexander had 2 amazing weeks late in the season and in the Big East tournament scoring like 30 a game and shot up everyone's draft boards. Before that nobody ever talked about him. I remember looking at his Stat lines in the newspaper his rookie year and being like "uh oh" 🤦
@LockdownK oh yeah man he WAS ballin' in that little stretch. Shooting lights out in MSG in the tourney. He struck while the iron was hot and hit the draft, but he's another guy that coulda benefited GREATLY from 1 more year in school.
Drose was the best out of this group before injuries kid growing up near Chicago man the hype around Drose as young kid was insane I remember watching local channels to catch rose high school games.
Not only did the kings draft Cousins they brought in Samuel Dalembert that same year and Dalembert was a solid guy. They shoulda drafted either Hayward or George
@@LockdownK because I hardly ever heard them complain or whine, they just go out and do their job and play and deal with the situation they are in and are versatile
Not to shit on anything (out of love) but when you’re talking about Hickson it said 13 ppg and 10 ast. When you mention 10 rebounds. Just trying to help. I appreciate your channel.
A injury should make a person a flop , think of football Gail sayers , Billy Simms and so many others Basketball Bill Walton couldve had a earlier better career his feet , Sam Bowie his legs not talent Ralph Sampson born to early today mega star but flops is who cant play
A true shame D-Rose looks likely to be the first MVP to miss out on the HoF. At least he's managed to stay in the league this long
If it were me I'd put him in the HOF, it was because of him I even got into basketball.

I'll get all the basketball TH-cam creators to make a video on it haha, we are going to get him in there lol
@@thebestcentaurdrose already accomplished more just by winning that mvp
He's definitely a HOF
I feel like D. Rose beat the "What If??" He beat all odds to come back and show he was still a major problem....yeah he ain't no champion but he's more than worthy of a Hall Of Fame slot.
Who called Joe Alexander the most athletic prospect in that class when D Rose and Westbrook was in the same draft?? 🤣
this channel has quickly turned into one of my favorite basketball channels to watch.
No clickbait and no wasting time in the video
Heard that! Appreciate you
Facts
It's great that you talk about the not so well known players like JR Giddens.
^
Giannis didn’t have to do Ibaka like that 😂😂😂
Frrrrrrr, it's not like Serge didn't already know that lmao
That was so funny.. you can tell it hurt Serge 😂
Crazy how DJ got a ring before CP3 & Griffin, same with ibka getting one before Russ & Harden
Randolph was a STAR in Europe. Even played for the Slovenian national team and won the Eurobasket championship alongside Dragic and Doncic.
Wow!
Just found this channel, top tier content thats lacking in the basketball world.
This is like the basketball equivalent of Tubfrog
Bro became my favorite channel out of nowhere like 2 days ago😂😂hella informative
Appreciate that
D Rose will always be the biggest What If in the NBA history
I’d say it’s Len Bias since we never got to see him in the league before he died. D Rose was a MVP caliber player who suffered injuries that made him regress. Len Bias was talked about possibly being better than Jordan when they were both coming out of college
@@babycakessr.8704 yea I also agree
Then len bias story is crazy, but I'm 50/50 on him and Rose
Your writing really stands out compared to other nba TH-camrs. Concise and few grammatical and pronunciation errors. A lot of TH-camrs, you can tell when they slack off in writing scripts. You’re not one of them
Thank you!
D. Rose my favorite player ever,got into basketball cuz of him and I think he’ll be a HOF
Hopefully
These videos are fantastic. The way they are put together is very impressive... I'm kinda shocked they don't have a half million views
I appreciate you g!

Who’s here after D-Rose announced his retirement
Me (still crying)

Welcome aboard!
Lockdown with the Fresh cut 👀👀🔥
Yessirr
He got my request in! Amazing vid man!
Thanks for the idea!
Yessir
i think drose still makes it to the HoF... his career reminds me of grant hill's... although hill was more productive than drose post-injury, drose actually won an MVP
love your thumbnail!
That boi got that crispy shape up
You already know!
Keep going bro, 100k subs otw!!!
this series is great
Mario charmers and Norris Cole got rings and really disappeared 😂
2:49 Ewing Jr could have at least been a good role player in the league if he was developed correctly
^
Excited to watch the video! You never disappoint! Keep up the great work 🫶
Thank you! Will do!
A kid in 2008 🤔.
Making me feel old asf
could you make a video about the 2009 NBA draft?
A lot of notable names on this draft class. Hell, there's a lot of players here that gave hell in 2k (e.g. Brook Lopez and Ajinça for me in 2k16)
Give me any Center in 2K that has a good jump hook and it's buckets lol
Dawg, the amount of ads is wild
Why Giannis do Serge like that
Batum had a solid series against the Knicks this year too
He did for sure
Damn, that was nasty what Giannis said to Ibaka. Even if he was joking, that still felt bad. Good vid. I subbed.
Never thought I’d see a Bristol flyers clip on this channel even if it was them getting scored on by London 😂
Why did stern say Nicholas like that 😂😂
The best at getting names wrong haha
Brandon Knight was NEVER the same after that dunk by DJ...
frrr
Way to make me feel old talking about you were a kid lol. I was a junior in college wishing I could reverse time haha
I am getting there too lol. Highschool is starting to feel like a llloonnnnggg time ago haha
dope video
W Comment
If Roy Hibbert played in the 90s I think that he would have been known as one of the better centers in that era.
Can you please do 2015 next? or 2009
At WVU Joe Alexander had 2 amazing weeks late in the season and in the Big East tournament scoring like 30 a game and shot up everyone's draft boards. Before that nobody ever talked about him. I remember looking at his Stat lines in the newspaper his rookie year and being like "uh oh" 🤦
thats actually amazing that you remember that! I didn't really follow his career too much until I made this video
@LockdownK oh yeah man he WAS ballin' in that little stretch. Shooting lights out in MSG in the tourney. He struck while the iron was hot and hit the draft, but he's another guy that coulda benefited GREATLY from 1 more year in school.
Awesome Vid
Glad you liked it!
Lockdown with the new "sauce" hair 👀
👀👀👀
Drose was the best out of this group before injuries kid growing up near Chicago man the hype around Drose as young kid was insane I remember watching local channels to catch rose high school games.
thats lit! What other things do you remember happening in the city at that time. I love hearing stories from people who where actually in the mix!
@@LockdownK I remember hearing about the kid Michael Beasley being the best kid in the country but it wasn’t even remotely close
Bro forgot to mention Roy Hibberts yt channel, some good vids
You right! Adding it to the description now
After 2008 everything in super market is higher every year 💀
Its disgusting that this channel doesnt get more traffic. This video should be at 200k views by now 🥲 always top tier content, mate!
Appreciate you G
Please add timestamps to your videos.
How young is this brotha...he was a kid in 2008!
Pretty young lol
Not only did the kings draft Cousins they brought in Samuel Dalembert that same year and Dalembert was a solid guy. They shoulda drafted either Hayward or George
D.Rose should be a hall of famer.
Accolades idk if he makes it, however his impact on the basketball community was and is immense
My favorite players in today nba is jeff green and thaddeus young
why so?
@@LockdownK because I hardly ever heard them complain or whine, they just go out and do their job and play and deal with the situation they are in and are versatile
That's fair!
The Dragon was an amazing player. Respect! Even as a journeyman. You can see 90% of this draft doesn’t have his resume.
Love your new hair
Preciate that!
@@LockdownK oh my gosh lockdown there’s no way you responded to me. Hello dude you like my favorite TH-camr.
That's a bet! I'll make sure to keep u other quality for you!
Not to shit on anything (out of love) but when you’re talking about Hickson it said 13 ppg and 10 ast. When you mention 10 rebounds. Just trying to help. I appreciate your channel.
Appreciate that, not sure how I missed that!
Why didn’t you go from the top pick down???
Wanted to try something different
46:30 is it me or does D. Rose look like Lupe Fiasco’s brother 🤔
😂
bro wtf happened to austin daye
The cut is 👌
You know how we moving
Brodie n Da Beard should go into the HoF together...OKC...Houston...Clipps...they ride together...
Oh Robin Lopez. Any time I saw him on the court with my Cavs I had to laugh. Half of the time it looked like he was playing with ghosts.
Recap the 2011 draft
Deandre jordan and javalle my favorite from this class
I really dont like LeBron for not giving Mario Chalmers credit for their championship. NBA did him wrong
Batum is proving what now? 😭
hall fame super star
Ahh 2008 season…
I was 25 in 2008. I'm 40
Time flys
I created my channel on January 13th, 2008
We starting off with calling Dragic "Dragic". Hoo boy.
How am I supposed to say it?
How old r u man? :)
whose asking lol
Why do you keep calling Dragić "Dra-cheek" 😅 It's "Drag-itch"
I literally hate Batum so much 😂💀
Fresh hair 😮
Preciate that
Gilbert was a small guard? Lol
A injury should make a person a flop , think of football Gail sayers , Billy Simms and so many others Basketball Bill Walton couldve had a earlier better career his feet , Sam Bowie his legs not talent Ralph Sampson born to early today mega star but flops is who cant play
lee was nothing compared to josh hart … don’t do that
Ay i was born back then
Dradżik XDDD
