deontae bryan melo hasn't exactly been a beast in the playoffs now.... overrated asf the pistons played team ball n melo is a ball stopper n he played no defense
Zionjrpro the best rookie of the Year added to the conference champs that went to 7 games would of been a big difference for that seires . Melo didn't iso in the beginning of his career. He was faster and more athletic . He took Denver from 17 wins to 49 .
Zionjrpro remember the most Success Melo had was with Chauncey in Denver imagine Melo learning how to play team ball from a Younger Chauncey and That Squad
DJ Kevgeez Never watched Basketball. Wade had the greatest finals performance in history in just his third year in the league. Melo however couldn’t get to the finals even with stacked teams. Don’t give me the conference bullshit when the Pistons, Cavs, and Orlando were consistently amazing teams.
to be fair, Larry Brown *HATED* playing rookies, and he was gunning for a chip in 04 so Melo would have been the 12th man on that roster and coach knew he would be a distraction. Therefore they picked the player who they thought would contribute 3-5 years down the road...they were hoping for 'Sheed without the attitude, they got Bargnani without a jumper
pogingpogi214 I actually think Darko was a decent player coming out of the draft but the Pistons poorly developed him. I think Larry Brown just stripped him of his confidence.
Greg E To be fair though Larry did play numerous different rookies, and also helped perfecte the game of A.I. while in Philly. And also Larry, and the whole Sixers organization actually now that I think about it straight up got fucked over by the league (we all know how much David Stern would literally sabotage or at least attempt to sabotage anything A.I. was involved with as he hated Allen). A.I. isn't the only person he sabotaged or attempted to sabotage as well, he among many others also did it toT-Mac, Ray Allen etc.
As a diehard Cavs fan, I completely remember the 2003 Draft Lottery. I actually cried when we got the #1 pick and Gordon Gund pulled out the LBJ Cavs jersey!
Darko Milicic was super talented but he had terrible work ethic and he's a bit crazy too, there's an interview in serbian where he says that they partied every day while he was in Detroit, he was drunk every night
Proof of pat rileys genius. He liked Kaman, but all the people he trusted wanted Wade, and he was smart enough to realize he was wrong. That’s not easy to do
They wouldn't even have played Melo cuz they were after rings and didn't want rookies to play minutes. Melo would have gotten fatter faster with Detroit too.
Naw i disagree with that all the way. You must dont remember how good and explosive Melo was coming out of Syracuse. He was unguardable back then. He would've gave Detroit that scoring punch they needed to keep winning rings. Kinda like how KD went to GS and provided them with the scoring they needed to beat the Cavs again.
Yeah but if Menlo went to a team with the pedigree of Detroit at that time he probably would have been a better defensive player and more team orientated he probably would be more on lebrons level. Not equal but a top 3 or 5 player his whole career.
@@kingtmg1839 The fact in the 80s most teams gm believes that U need a big man to win a championship plus the Blazers they already had a good sg but the Pistons needed a guy who could score so they really F up that second pick.
@@fliplife67 Melo wouldn't fit into Detroit's defense mentality. And besides, if Detroit didn't pick Darko then they wouldn't have been able to trade midseason to get Rasheed.
The second pick really impacted the league for sure. Very unselfish player like who would tell his team that don’t let him play because he will mess up the team chemistry because he’s too good.
Heat were back and forth between Dwade vs Chris Caman?????? You TRULY cannot make this stuff up. How hard it must be to be an NBA front office manager.
I Write A Song A Day for real like they’re supposed to be preparing for the future and can’t even watch a little college ball? Wade went deep in the tourney and Melo won the national title for goodness sake
TopTen Tymes Carmelo could've had a legacy if he made smarter Free Agency decisions. And that Detroit team was very well oiled on both ends of the court... Carmelo playing iso wouldn't have been a good fit.
Carlos Chaves you buggin, that Detroit team had scoring droughts so bad they could've rebuilt the whole city with all those bricks. All they needed was a scorer. He would've been under great tutelage by rick Carlisle, or larry Brown and any immature tendency he had would have been taken care of because they were winning. You sitting here thinking not a good fit because you watch to much espn and don't see the bigger picture. What happened when a older chauncey was traded to denver for iverson? They went from not being able to make it out the first round to pushing kobe and the lakers in the western conference finals.
I really hope when these 5 guys all retire they do an open court segment with them and talk about that's it's been like for them since their draft in 03
2003: #1 pick Hometown kid goes home. 2008: #1 pick Hometown kid goes home. 2018: #1 pick Hometown kid goes home. STOP THE LOTTERY.. it is just another way for the league to control this narrative and rig things to their liking.
No Cappin' You trippin that draft also had Josh Howard, David West, Kirk Hinrich, T.J Ford, Leondra Barbosa, Kendrick Perkins and a few more who weren't Hof players but did good in the league in their own rights.
2003 also featured : David West, Kirk Hinrich, Kyle Korver, Boris Diaw, Kendrick Perkins, Leandro Barbosa etc. Pretty good bench with Lebron, Wade, Melo, Bosh, West as starters.
Melo let everyone down.as great of a scorer he was only scoring champ once out of charity. Half assed in Denver never played Defense. Ruined the Knicks not going in free agency, Amare was having a Mvp Candidate season before the trade. Fought against Mike Dantoni, Jeremy Lin,Mike Woodson, and Phil Jackson. Got Phil Fired then Demanded a trade. Didn't work hard enough in OKC or Houston.
Why are they even mentioning Melo on the title, when Wade ended up as the 3rd best shooting guard of all time and melo never even won a championship or any meaningful accolade. #Lebronandwadeftw
Not to nitpick, but how the hell do you justify putting Melo's name in the title next to Lebron's? D-Wade goes on to be one of the five best 2 guards of all time, and he's still the third person people think of whenever that draft class is mentioned.
Wade did play with Shaq Bron Bosh Ray Allen while Melo played with hmmmm NOBODY. Okay I rest my case Lets change the narrative give Melo Shaq Bron Bosh and Ray Allen and lets see how this story would end.
4 players impacted teams...Bron revived the cavalier franchise, Wade county was born, Melo made the nuggets extra crispy, and Darko destroyed a potential dynasty. You know Detroit would have won 2 or 3 with him.
Crazy how much this draft shaped the nba for the next decade or so. Also dwade!!!!!!!! My fav player, if my team can’t win a championship then I want wade to win no matter what team he plays for.
Melo's a pure scorer and a damn good one at that but he made some bad decisions here and there. Oh 💩GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL, GOAL, GOAL, GOAL, GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL. France 1- Croatia 0.
Carmelo got Rob for that ROTY. I know y'all hater or y'all young kids who just start watching basketball going to hate on Melo now but let me tell y'all this Melo is a first ballot Hall of Famer Yes he may not ever go to a final or win a Ring but for the first 12 years in the NBA that boy Melo put up buckets, is just that team never put the right parts around him to be successful some might argue it's all on Melo because he went for the Money rather than join the big 3 in Miami Which it should of been Wade, Lebron, and Melo and they also could argue about resigning with the Knicks so he took the Money again rather the join up with some stars like what LeBron did the previous season With Miami all would be legitimate but one thing y'all can't say is that the boy not a Hall of Famer or his career was a bust. Just let me remind y'all not winning a Ring doesn't mean bust for you kids.
k3m505 ahhh melo had a pretty good team in Denver..they just couldn't get past Kobe .an yes he put up buckets but he def didn't have more of an impact on games than Bron. Bront did it all including played defense in his first 13 years . Then let's not forget wade who took a sunpar Miami Heat and won a championship in 06. Please don't give me ye he had Shaq. Shaq was def not Shaq at that point in his career he was on the downalide of his career..melo is def a HOF thou. Just not as great as those 2.
swiss954 Lmao shaq was on his downalide of his career" 😂😂 just the previous season shaq was in the top two candidate for MVP and they gave it to Steve Nash which a lot of people say Nash never deserve it over Shaq even up to today they saying the same. So he went from a top mvp candidate to being on his downside of his career in less than 6 months 😂😂 okay
Without Shaq Miami Wins NOTHING so stop the BULLSHIT. IDC what Wade took where if you took Shaq from Miami there is 0 rings that year for Miami they wouldnt even see the finals so stop the bullshit. This is fucking Blasphomy making it sound like Wade alone took them to finals and he won the shit alone. Yes he was the best player at that time but Shaq wasnt lite years behind. Yes he was on the decline but he wasnt there yet so stop the nonsense. I can read through the bullshit here .
I have a question. Why did lebron and carmelo are drafted in 2003 but Lebron was drafted out of highschool and Carmelo was drafted out of College yet they are the same age ?( Both born in 1984 )
people describing how great the top 5 of this class are, but can we appreciate the Steals in this draft? Kyle Korver in the second round set a record for 3 pt% in a season and became arguably a top 5 3pt shooter. Jose Calderon (undrafted) set the record for best ft% in a season with 98% while being a solid role player in his prime. This draft was definitive for the modern NBA.
Melo had all the skill and talent but unfortunately he doesn't have ginobili humbleness. If not, he could also win the nba champion like wade and lebron did.
Dwyane Wade is my favorite player because of my Dad. I was watching this draft with him and he said before it started that, "Wade is going to be the best one from this draft" even with all the hype around LeBron. Him being my Dad, I didn't doubt that statement for a second. I believed him. So I started watching Wade and he became my favorite player. And the rest is history.
Joe Dumars made the worst “spur of the moment trying to be too smart for his own good” pick. As a Piston fan I trusted Joe’s moves for the team up until that point then it was terrible move after terrible move. He built that 04 Championship squad from scratch but threw away a legit shot at back to back rings maybe even a three peat.🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
The Heat made the best decision in franchise history
Cj Houston Kobe.
Nomad Black ?
What does Kobe have to do with the Heat
not the sharpest knife on the drawer are you?
Nomad Black no Dwayne wade
This looks like a fun video.... for everyone except Pistons fans.
No
🤣 😂
Props to the heat for not picking kaman over wade.
Da caveman was underrated bro. Who doesn't want Board and blocks. to ignite your fast break.
wade brought miami 3 championships. what a beast
noobzzzz correction: shaq and lebron brought championships to the heat. Wade alone just had the heat as playoff contenders
Gio Shaq and LeBron don't go to Miami if Wade is not there.
Bruh. Dwyane averaged like 35 ppg in 2006
Stupid Detroit. Melo would've helped them win that second championship
Live From The Grave doubt they would still next San antonio

Jon155 L... for liking your own comment
LOL, no the moral of the story is. Do not draft based on needs, draft based on potential talent
Auc 2.0 yea vs lbj which is black lol
to be fair, Larry Brown *HATED* playing rookies, and he was gunning for a chip in 04 so Melo would have been the 12th man on that roster and coach knew he would be a distraction. Therefore they picked the player who they thought would contribute 3-5 years down the road...they were hoping for 'Sheed without the attitude, they got Bargnani without a jumper
except Brown has just been hired by detroit around that time and has nothing to do about the draft.
pogingpogi214 I actually think Darko was a decent player coming out of the draft but the Pistons poorly developed him. I think Larry Brown just stripped him of his confidence.

@@ajpip9719 No. If Detroit took Melo they wouldn't have been able to pick up Rasheed midseason.
As a diehard Cavs fan, I completely remember the 2003 Draft Lottery. I actually cried when we got the #1 pick and Gordon Gund pulled out the LBJ Cavs jersey!
You put melo in the title like he's the second best player in the draft....we all know that's wade, then melo then bosh
David Batista melo better than Wade
Bernie Stark's 😂.....you funny
Bernie Stark's your funny dood.
3 rings 1 final mvp and top 50 all time melo aint even near that
Bernie Stark's also 3rd greatest SG and melo aint even top 10 greatest small forward
TheRealM once Melo hit 30K he's probably 10th. There's a bunch of SF to compete with rather than the SG spot
Darko Milicic was super talented but he had terrible work ethic and he's a bit crazy too, there's an interview in serbian where he says that they partied every day while he was in Detroit, he was drunk every night
Don't blame him no playing time LMAO 😂
They were a championship team,they didn't have time to developed a rookie
As a piston fan, my heart breaks every time I hear Darko’s name.
that lottery was rigged af lmao
Dude the majority of the lottery’s are rigged 😂😂
Kai Black pretty much
Which lottery isn’t rigged 😂
15 years, 3 championships later, Miami is the biggest winner of this draft. Can thank DWade now
And Cleveland for sucking and LeBron wanting to leave for Miami.
Proof of pat rileys genius. He liked Kaman, but all the people he trusted wanted Wade, and he was smart enough to realize he was wrong. That’s not easy to do
Detroit would've had won 2 more rings with Melo. His scoring with that defensive team would've been tough!
They wouldn't even have played Melo cuz they were after rings and didn't want rookies to play minutes. Melo would have gotten fatter faster with Detroit too.
Naw i disagree with that all the way. You must dont remember how good and explosive Melo was coming out of Syracuse. He was unguardable back then.

MrPeazy10 the problem wasn't Melo. It was Detroit, they were on a championship run and they wouldn't play a rookoe
The next time Melo makes a defensive play will be the first. That mentality would not have flown in Det.
Yeah but if Menlo went to a team with the pedigree of Detroit at that time he probably would have been a better defensive player and more team orientated he probably would be more on lebrons level. Not equal but a top 3 or 5 player his whole career.

fliplife67 it's not like they could tell the future. Detroit needed a center, not a power forward. Not all first round draft pics are winners.

Disrespectful too put melos name instead of wade
Wade is the 2nd best player in the 03 draft
they did chris bosh dirty
Riyad Khan nobody did anything wrong to Bosh the man had a great career the only thing that fucked him was injuries
This is a wave of nostalgia and emotions, so legendary...just wow
One of best drafts in my opinion besides ‘84 & ‘96 NBA Drafts
Yooo Jerry west was sick when he got that num 2 pick lmao he knew Lebron was gone 😂😂
This video clip has appeared so many times over the past 5 years. This was a great draft.
Best class ever
Legend Killer some but 17 is the best class ever. Beside Bron, Melo, Bosh, Wade, and maybe Korver it's ass

don't forget barkley
another decade ends and this is still one of the best nba drafts we've seen

College Rookie Championship Winner 💪👊💯 #Melo 🏀
4 players impacted teams...Bron revived the cavalier franchise, Wade county was born, Melo made the nuggets extra crispy, and Darko destroyed a potential dynasty. You know Detroit would have won 2 or 3 with him.
This is why Doncic was soo slept on it’s this stigma of Euro players

Great draft. Was stoked when the Raps drafted Bosh. In hindsight Wade woulda been an even better pick but at least we didn't draft Darko lol.
Darko didnt do nothing.

darko’s career could be completely different if he was drafted by the Spurs😂
As soon as they said the cavs select Lebron stood up

Carmelo who?
I’m surprised Detroit doesn’t take D Wade or Bosh
Damn! then where is Dark-O now? is he in the dark... he is unknown
I have a question. Why did lebron and carmelo are drafted in 2003 but Lebron was drafted out of highschool and Carmelo was drafted out of College yet they are the same age ?( Both born in 1984 )

Melo had all the skill and talent but unfortunately he doesn't have ginobili humbleness. If not, he could also win the nba champion like wade and lebron did.
Did the SARS Outbreak corrupt the 2003 NBA DRAFT. NOPE.
Dwyane Wade is my favorite player because of my Dad. I was watching this draft with him and he said before it started that, "Wade is going to be the best one from this draft" even with all the hype around LeBron. Him being my Dad, I didn't doubt that statement for a second. I believed him. So I started watching Wade and he became my favorite player. And the rest is history.
Joe Dumars made the worst “spur of the moment trying to be too smart for his own good” pick. As a Piston fan I trusted Joe’s moves for the team up until that point then it was terrible move after terrible move. He built that 04 Championship squad from scratch but threw away a legit shot at back to back rings maybe even a three peat.🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
