Hey I'm from 7 years into the future we have Uber, VR, A pandemic, and Electric cars and the Memphis Grizzlies are currently number 1 in the west with their 2nd overall pick.
and they got the 4th pick with the worst record in 2007 (while most people only remembered the Celtics slipped to the 5th with 2nd worst record, leading it to the big 3 trade)
Elgin Baylor was the king of wasting high draft picks and striking out on mainly all of them. Clippers had plenty of chances to have very talented squad but Elgin couldn’t seem to scout the right players and always drafted power forwards.
I 1000% agree with this top 10, I do believe Patrick Ewing was the biggest lottery pick ever in 1985. That pick changed the Knicks Franchise for the next decade and was a huge lottery spot!
Shinedogs wait how did the bulls get the number 1 pick in 1999 when they won 3 titles in a row for the 2nd time.please explain will appreciate the explanation.
If I remember right, the Raptors & Grizzlies weren’t permitted to have the #1 pick for the first few years of their existence (I’m unable to explain why because I’m remembering this off the top off my head; you’ll have to look it up). So Grizzlies getting #2 was the best they could get.
As someone who lives outside the US the notion of draft lottery’s was such a strange concept. All these years later it’s one of my favourite parts of every season 😂
+hikingtrainer(: that's bcuz the Chicago guy was stupid af for breaking up that 90's Bulls team, he cared more about getting the no 1 pick than winning them 6 rings...
Interesting how not one of these teams went on to win the championship. Yeah, Spurs won but only after they won the Duncan lottery which isn't shown here.
How is the Spurs winning the '97 draft lottery not on here? The Celtics were heavy favorites to land the first pick and the Spurs swooped in and stole Duncan!
1:55 - One of the purest "screaming internally" moments ever, courtesy of Jerry West. Memphis would only keep the pick if they landed the #1 choice. So they send it to Detroit, and the Pistons commited a top-5 draft mistake by selecting Darko Milicic.
Every draft lottery is rigged Cleveland gets LeBron the hometown kid same with the Bulls and D Rose LeBron leaves Cleveland the first time they get a couple more first picks Around the lockout time the hornets didn't have an owner and Chris Paul got traded so they gift wrap the number one pick which was Anthony Davis to sweeten the deal for a buyer those are just a few examples off the top of my head
Please be more specific , was it a slavery feel for each victorious team representative (Elgin Baylor), or, like most young people, is racism only initiated by caucasians
+zabuku hoang yea there was a slim chance. grizzlies been kind of fucked because all their lottery pick were protected by the Pistons since 1997 and since they didnt had the very first pick in 03, they had to give it to the pistons
IMAGINE IF WE DIDNT GET THE FIRST PICK For LEBRON HISTORY WOULD BE SO DIFFERENT!,!?! AMAZING LOVE IT NICE JOB AWESOME COOL VIDEO GREAT THIS IS THE BEST WOWW!??!
the NBA draft is very entertaining... Can't help but enjoy the emotions. About the Grizzlies, it paid off eventually, they got a great team. They and OKC will dominate for a while, just glad to see the Spurs and Lakers outta the way, and be depressed for being a Suns fan. Only time I saw them go to the finals was my first year as a fan when I was 7, 92-93 season
Hey I'm from 11 years in the future and well the Grizzlies are currently dominating, since then the Spurs won another title in 2014 and have fell from grace along with the lakers and OKC. Oh yeah and about OKC what if I told you that the Thunder blew a 3-1 lead and Kevin Durant left the Thunder to join a team that came back on him 3-1?
10. Danny Manning: 0 ring for Clippers 9. Dwight Howard: 0 ring for Magic 8. Elton Brand: 0 ring for Bulls 7. David Robinson: 2 rings for Spurs 6. Brad Daugherty: 0 ring for 76ers, Cavs 5. LeBron James: 1 ring for Cavs 4. Kenyon Martin: 0 ring for Nets 3. Allen Iverson: 0 ring for 76ers 2. Shaquille O'Neal: 0 ring for Magic 1. Chris Webber (Penny Hardaway): 0 ring for Magic
imagine if all these picks were switched Danny Manning with the pacers Dwight Howard with the clippers! Elton Brand with the grizzlies David Robinson with the suns! Brad Daugherty/ R. Hinson with the celtics LeBron James with the grizzlies! Kenyon Martin with the grizzlies Allen Iverson with the Raptors! Shaq With the Hornets! C-Webb with the 76ers! Patrick Ewing with the Pacers!
"We waited 14 yrs. What's two more?" He was so right on the money. David Robinson was our first MVP and brought us our first championship.
I know this is from 10 years ago but it was Timmy D that brought us our championships David wasn’t able to do it by himself
Congrats on Vic
i love how the grizzlies kept on getting the 2nd pick
@Bronx B they got it again😅
And the pacers
What about the lakers
Lol and they got it in 2020
Factsss
'we don't know who we are gonna pick yet" LOL
p.s. poor grizzlies
You know whats MORE Bad,even if they get Lebron or Someone else they are in Pistons...Thats more BS lol
+Mrthe Muppetfan if they would of got the #1 pick they would of kept it sense it was still protected at the #1 slot
They did it again lol
grizzlies keep getting shit on
If they didnt get shit on in 2003, the pistons might have had not 5 not 6 not 7 not 8 not 9 not 10 not 11, but 12 championships by now.
the grizz pick was top 1 protected. memphis would have gotten lebron
@ 1:33 we've waited 14 years what's 2 more
Moral of the story = Dont be the Grizzlies.
mrsansty 2019 and what do you know😂
This year too
You should be happy you get in the top 2 at least
Hey I'm from 7 years into the future we have Uber, VR, A pandemic, and Electric cars and the Memphis Grizzlies are currently number 1 in the west with their 2nd overall pick.
@@KingOfMonsters2K huh lol
Man, The Grizzles Can't Catch A Break In Terms Of The Draft Lottery.
Yeah, Tell Me About This.
and they got the 4th pick with the worst record in 2007 (while most people only remembered the Celtics slipped to the 5th with 2nd worst record, leading it to the big 3 trade)
Miguel Sandoval yeah, but what did the Magic do with their lotteries?
Good Question. I Wish I Knew All About This.
Miguel Sandoval Lol they traded Kevin Love for OJ Mayo and Mike Miller back in 08
#2: In 1993 the Magic just went 41-41 with Shaq and with the the worst odds got the #1 pick
Grizzlies got second 3/10 on this list...feel bad for jerry
"we waited 14 years, what's 2 more?" best quote ever on the draft lottery.
What a waste of a pick:
'88 Clippers picked Manning Missed Mitch Richmond
Low done come such a long way😭😭
My guy LOwwww
LMAO wtf
Elgin Baylor was the king of wasting high draft picks and striking out on mainly all of them. Clippers had plenty of chances to have very talented squad but Elgin couldn’t seem to scout the right players and always drafted power forwards.
Revisionist history, Manning was the consensus #1 guy heading into the draft. Richmond going that high would have been earth shattering news.
😱 Allen iverson could've been a raptor!!
I Wish he was :(
Should have been. Kobe should gave Been first.
Air raza Couldn;t have been, that year neither Toronto or Vancouver could claim the first pick, due to league rules at the time.
Michael C pretty sure kobe wasn't even top 12
tinostarks well he obviously deserves number 1. Everyone else was a a bust.
I 1000% agree with this top 10, I do believe Patrick Ewing was the biggest lottery pick ever in 1985. That pick changed the Knicks Franchise for the next decade and was a huge lottery spot!
1999 Bulls YES YES YES.....
2000 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
putush101 please explain???
The Bulls were so excited when they won the lottery and drafted Elton Brand, only to trade him the next year
Shinedogs wait how did the bulls get the number 1 pick in 1999 when they won 3 titles in a row for the 2nd time.please explain will appreciate the explanation.
It was after the 98-99 season, not the 97-98 championship season. The Bulls were bad that year and Jordan was retired.
grizzlies interview: i'm tired of being 2nd
Omar Little and again un 2019
the second pick goes to the vancouver/memphis grizzlies LMFAO
If I remember right, the Raptors & Grizzlies weren’t permitted to have the #1 pick for the first few years of their existence (I’m unable to explain why because I’m remembering this off the top off my head; you’ll have to look it up). So Grizzlies getting #2 was the best they could get.
Danny Manning...Wow. I forgot about him. Could have been something. Was an all star but injuries held him back so much.
Who’s here after Pelicans landed number 1
You're telling me my charlotte hornets almost had Shaquille O'Neal? Well they probably would have just traded him away like they did Kobe
They got Alonzo with that pick, which was a pretty good consolation prize.
Damn shaq and Chris Weber could've done some damage together
"We've waited 14 years... What's two more?" I love it
Also, Orlando Was Feeling The Magic 1992 & 1993 Draft Lotteries. (At Least On The List Of Lottery Draft Moments)
Not the 1997 draft lottery, the celtics had a 37% chance at 1st but spurs got it and the best PF in history
Karl Malone wasn't drafted in 1997.
1 Survivor Tim Duncan
ThTcraft Duncan is an all time great but Malone is the best PF in history.
1 Survivor
Lmfao
5 is greater than 0 kiddo
1 Survivor The Playoffs were Sunday for Malone...and you know what they say about that. The Mail Man doesn't deliver on Sundays.
"We waited 14 years.. .what's 2 more" Truest and smartest statement GM statement ever made in NBA history. Robinson top 5 player of ALL time.
Grizzlies in 2003.
Missed out on pick 1 and getting LeBron. It's ok, they had Wade, Melo or Bosh to choose from!
They pick Darko...
+Lachy Jones Pistons picked that kid not memphis
Grizzlies lost the draft pick because of a trade 7 years prior. If they got #1 draft they would have kept the pick
+Lachy Jones you're not very bright
Nicholas Smith That sounds even worse lol. Meaning they almost had Lebron and then ended up NOTHING lmao
it was lebron or nothing for them
Lmao the grizzlies got every single 2nd pick it seemed like
As someone who lives outside the US the notion of draft lottery’s was such a strange concept. All these years later it’s one of my favourite parts of every season 😂
Damn grizzlies...talk about bad luck bears.lol
#4 I've never seen someone so excited to have Kenyon Martin on their team LOL
Pat Williams is perhaps the luckiest man in all of sports. Dude had 5 of these moments 😂😂
The Grizzles had so many #2 picks and yet they sucked while they were in Vancouver.
2:27 that dude looks like a god damn dinasaour
lol funny.. but the chicago guy looks stupid af
+hikingtrainer(: that's bcuz the Chicago guy was stupid af for breaking up that 90's Bulls team, he cared more about getting the no 1 pick than winning them 6 rings...
+Robertl Quetzalcoatl that's so true..
How Orlando managed back to back #1 picks is still unbelievable. And Pat Croches reaction was the best
Love how the Clippers were happy about the 1st pick to draft Danny Manning 😭😂
There's a reason he's a the top prospect in the draft they did they know he wouldn't be a star 🤨
ah yes an all-time leading scorer in Big Eight Conference history + led the team to an NCAA title
Dave Debuscherre's reaction is priceless when the Knicks won the 1st pick LOL!!
mike korzemba should do a video on how the grizzlies got fucked
The Bobcats traded up to 2 in 2004 and drafted Emeka Okafor.
Imagine being the Suns and losing a coin flip for Kareem Abdul Jabar.
And dropping 4 spots this year, in the lottery.
Charlotte missed out on Shaq?? And I thought missing out on Anthony Davis after having the worst record in NBA history was bad enough.
Interesting how not one of these teams went on to win the championship. Yeah, Spurs won but only after they won the Duncan lottery which isn't shown here.
The cavs
So Pat William's teams got the 1st overall Pick 4 times ?? The '86 76ers,'92 Magic, '93 Magic,and '04 Magic ! WOW !!
Add the spurs winning the 2023 lottery
How is the Spurs winning the '97 draft lottery not on here? The Celtics were heavy favorites to land the first pick and the Spurs swooped in and stole Duncan!
VANCOUVER İS ALWAYS 2. PRAY :(((((
1:55 - One of the purest "screaming internally" moments ever, courtesy of Jerry West. Memphis would only keep the pick if they landed the #1 choice. So they send it to Detroit, and the Pistons commited a top-5 draft mistake by selecting Darko Milicic.
And grizzlies got 2nd in 2019🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love how excited they get :D Like a kid getting picked first for kick ball :D
No wonder Vancouver lost their NBA team, they kept picking second in the damn lottery and kept screwing it up
Awesome handshake at 3:13
how about 1985 nba draft lottery that was rigged!!!!
Super rigged
They wanted the Knicks to get #1
I like how they didn't show the envelope for it because the corner was bent
Every draft lottery is rigged
Cleveland gets LeBron the hometown kid same with the Bulls and D Rose
LeBron leaves Cleveland the first time they get a couple more first picks
Around the lockout time the hornets didn't have an owner and Chris Paul got traded so they gift wrap the number one pick which was Anthony Davis to sweeten the deal for a buyer those are just a few examples off the top of my head
Magic seems to get the luck but not enough to keep the talent there
imagine if ai came to toronto.....
with carter... and imagine they convince mcgrady.... holy shit
doreian heard none of those guys ever averaged 10 asts lmao
A.Nico AI,T MAC,VC,THATS A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM RIGHT THERE IF SO
New York Knicks getting the first pick was amazing. Patrick Ewing doesn't fit anywhere else. !!!!!
Kenyon Martin was a No. 1 pick? >.
yeah the 2000 draft was terrible
Worst draft of all time. I think Bill Simmons has a column on it and how bad it was.
Jerry krause more happy with the 1st pick then another shot at the title with Jordan
Grizzlies fans get sick watching this
2:27 scariest laugh/expression I've seen in my life.
This clip has a very slave-ownery feel to it.
I thought it was just me. Lol
I agree
Please be more specific , was it a slavery feel for each victorious team representative (Elgin Baylor), or, like most young people, is racism only initiated by caucasians
Cosign on all the comments 😐
Colonel's Headquarters Praetorium slavery and race aren't mutually exclusive. You probably are a racist with a comment like that
damn... the grizzlies could have been a championship caliber team years ago.
In 1996 they all lost because kobe was 14th pick
Who’s here after Pat Williams’ passing? 😢
lebron could have been to memphis =(
Thank god that didn't happen
+LeKingJames no
+zabuku hoang yea there was a slim chance. grizzlies been kind of fucked because all their lottery pick were protected by the Pistons since 1997 and since they didnt had the very first pick in 03, they had to give it to the pistons
Being happy in 2000 with the first pick and select Kenyon Martin... Nice player but man.. first pick ??
#richwhitemancelebration
IMAGINE IF WE DIDNT GET THE FIRST PICK For LEBRON HISTORY WOULD BE SO DIFFERENT!,!?! AMAZING LOVE IT NICE JOB AWESOME COOL VIDEO GREAT THIS IS THE BEST WOWW!??!

Oh yeah and about OKC what if I told you that the Thunder blew a 3-1 lead and Kevin Durant left the Thunder to join a team that came back on him 3-1?
What about the 2008 draft? The Bulls were expected to be the 9th pick and they has the 1st getting DRose , who is also a bulls' fan
nba gotta do more of these!
2:38 you can see harvey dent is the representative for the nets at the draft lottery
76rs, should have kept
Pat Williams
he grab the #1 pick
4 times .
unbelievable
RAPTORS COULDVE GOTTEN ALLEN IVERSON?! NOOOOOOOOOOO
10. Danny Manning: 0 ring for Clippers
9. Dwight Howard: 0 ring for Magic
8. Elton Brand: 0 ring for Bulls
7. David Robinson: 2 rings for Spurs
6. Brad Daugherty: 0 ring for 76ers, Cavs
5. LeBron James: 1 ring for Cavs
4. Kenyon Martin: 0 ring for Nets
3. Allen Iverson: 0 ring for 76ers
2. Shaquille O'Neal: 0 ring for Magic
1. Chris Webber (Penny Hardaway): 0 ring for Magic
lol the Cavs guy was trollin
how do they decide who gets the first pick?
anyway im nt a basketball fan, so is any patient enuff to explain to me hw the nba draft works?
Could see the frost on the NY envelope in '85. David almost needed gloves to handle it.
Missed the Duncan lottery
For number 8 does anyone know why the guy looks at his sleeves and makes a weird face and puts them away
Happy 2018 Draft Lottery Day!
Yessssssss!!! Elton Brand and Kenyon Martin!
Lakers really got Shaq in 92. Thanks, Orlando!!!!1
@LED1019 im from vancouver. we dont have a team now......wonder if it would different if james had been on it.......even tho im not a fan of his.....
Imagine Robison going to the suns
I remember my dads friend had a Duncan Celtics jersey made already haha. Too confident.
LOL, "and the second pick goes to memphis grizzlies" i heard that about A MILLION TIMES!
imagine if all these picks were switched
Danny Manning with the pacers
Dwight Howard with the clippers!
Elton Brand with the grizzlies
David Robinson with the suns!
Brad Daugherty/ R. Hinson with the celtics
LeBron James with the grizzlies!
Kenyon Martin with the grizzlies
Allen Iverson with the Raptors!
Shaq With the Hornets!
C-Webb with the 76ers!
Patrick Ewing with the Pacers!
no 1997???
@kiewerleraz depends on your record. the lower your record teh higher chance of getting the 1st pick
@TheVR33 .....but do you realise WHY theres 2 times number 2?
MJ, Scottie, Rodman, Phil Jackson and key others left the Bulls after the 1997-98 season and the Bulls kinda plummeted afterwards
Did the grizzlies trade their 2nd pick in 2003? They also had the chance to draft wade or melo that year
Damn that man at n8 was awesome! Looks like he will crush everybody !
Pat Williams from the Orlando Magic will be returning again this year. Magic fans everywhere are hoping our good luck charm can bring the MAGIC again!
I still can't believe that they traded Chris Webber for Penny Hardaway. Shaq and Webber together.. That would have been something else.
you want first overall pick? Hire Pat Williams :D
the nets guy got so hype about getting Kenyon Martin
This is one of the many reasons why my Vancouver grizzlies aren't here. we never got a first overall pick LOL
Iverson with Toronto. Omg what a team that would be
Happy 6000 video!
@ferdukie ye. thats true.
Could someone explain how this draft pick works?
There's a lottery on who gets the first pick, but how does the players fit in?
