Today we explore what actually happened to the top 10 picks from every class starting with 2000 and ending off with the 2004 draft class. Some players from these NBA drafts go on to have long careers with tons of achievements while others just simply don't pan out due to injuries or not being able to keep up at the highest level. There are some big name players in here and players you might not have ever heard of. Either way this will be an interesting lesson on basketball history for you!
Kidd carried those Nets teams so hard! He's an underrated legend. Such a unique player to impact winning that much without being a great scorer.
Jason Kidd always had a mind for the game.
J kidd amazing but to say carried when u got a 2nd a 3rd yr player Leading yo team in rebounding scoring and blocks at 6'9 yea he Def didn't carry they were a solid Team with a great commander with j kidd
@damonlaw8218 *False. LIES.* In 2002 Martin averaged 0.2 ppg game more than Kidd in the regular season, but half or more of his points were coming on open dunks generated by very elite playmaking from Kidd. Also Martin did not lead the Nets in Rebounds in 2002, he only averaged 5.3 per game, Kidd averaged 7.3 per game. And in the 2002 playoffs Kidd led the Nets in Points, Rebounds, Assists, and Steals. In 2003 Kidd again led the Nets in ppg in both the regular season and in the playoffs. Kidd was 2nd to Martin this year in the playoffs in rebounds, but aside from leading in Points again, Kidd also led the team again in Assists and Steals. Martin was okay, but he wasn't an All Star in those seasons, and he only made one All Star game in his career. In 2002 Martin was 17th in the NBA in Blocks (Kidd was 3rd in Steals in 2002) and 62nd in Rebounds (Kidd was 33rd and 1st amongst PG). In 2003 Martin was 17th in Rebounds, and a full 8 Rebounds per Game behind the leader Ben Wallace. Martin averaged only 0.9 Blocks that season which was tied for 38th (Kidd was 5th in Steals in 2003). Kidd was also a 9× All Defensive Team selection, including in both seasons they went to the Finals. Martin never made a single All Defensive Team. Martin was not much of a difference maker. Almost all he did was catch lobs and foul the shit out of people. *KIDD CARRIED*
I don't know that Kidd is underrated. He gets his props. His playmaking skills are touted by casual observers as well as elite analysts. And no one forgets his contributions to the Mavs title run. For all that he is not a top 5 point guard.
To me I always thought he was better than 2 time MVP Steve Nash
Darrius miles is my first cousin…funny seeing this video and we just got done seeing each other at a family dinner 😂 he ain’t skinny nomo tho
Damn what are the chances!
I know right I just bussed out laughing 😆 ima show him this video
@@SticksAndStoners007tell him i said he boo boo
@@SticksAndStoners007 lucky you that's funny bro eating good and enjoying retirement.😂😂😂
@@orlandowilliamson691 tall ass got a lil belly don’t make no sense 😂
Injuries suck man. Rough seeing people progress work hard and get better every year then just get derailed.
Today's NBA looks very soft, but when I remember how frequently injuries came before, I hesitate to want more physicality in defense.
@@acctsysit’s way softer than the 90s or 2000s. Softest in long time. Loved playing ball for the shit talking and the most, but it was pretty physical as well and it made tactics and intelligence made it more important than physical hight & strength. Playing with anyone who couldn’t take some contact in a high impact fast paced sport didn’t belong deserve any respect on the court!
I had the video playing throughout the morning on my TV. Was a very nostalgic vibe ty bro
Of course! Thanks for watching
Bron still playing , melo retired , Yao retired , Dwayne retired and Dwight playing overseas 😔
Dwight living his best life lmao
Labron wants to be the goat so bad, he doesn't understand nobody can be god, that's MJ's title. Sit down labron

This was worth every minute of viewing. Impeccable light shown on Westbrook's value as a Clipper and top 75 all time NBA great. Bravo
Brother what
Cap 🧢
The 2000 draft class is the worst in NBA history - and my Bulls had six picks.
Just truly unfortunate
Who cares cuh
That's crazy you got the Shawn Marion UNLV highlights in the beginning/background talking about Kenyon lol
This is Noctular bro I’m glad you’re doing Well man.
Hey Noc! Appreciate you commenting brother, hope you are doing well also!
Excellent content
Thank you!
I like Kenyon. He’s as real as it gets. He didn’t cheat the game and always played hard
The StatMuse pictures 🔥
StatMuse is great
W video man keep up the work
Appreciate it!
what was the entrance you used for awesome truth?
That boy ray allen went down in slow motion
Nique shouldn’t be a judge anymore imo. How he critiques dunks are too personal. I’d keep Dr.J , add Vince, add kemp , keep the girls out (makes no sense to have them on the panel). Then go get the creativity points ppl like Dee brown or something. Then you bring out the professional dunkers. Not the nba dunkers. Pro dunkers to finish the night off less boring. I get the time crunching , but if there was a way to properly rehearse dunks and character with the pro dunkers as coach it’d be much better. We also should appreciate and hype up all the athletes - trying to figure out something new to do with limited athleticism and pressure of being “basic” when 90% of the arena can’t even touch the rim Is extremely difficult. A windmill is not a regular thing , but we treat it like so(although I’m not gonna lie Vince’s windmill had everything ferocity, bounce , and creativity - even tho it’s been seen and replicated it has not had the same effect whatsoever on screen or in person gotta step it up)
Keyshawn had the best Take on Chicago 😅
Love the video but are you not playing apex anymore?
I am not. I run 2 sports channels right now!❤️
0:26 am I bugging up is that Shawn Marion and not Kenyan Martin🤔😂
darius miles going broke is the least surprising news ive ever heard

@@SweatbandSports Let's go!
Peace to that Mavs Championship Team
High site 2020 Mac should’ve stayed in Orlando with Howard. Yao was very skilled without dominance. Also, Howards first 5 years tops Ming’s first 5
“Respectfully “
"top players in the league" and he shows a clip of them interviewing Deandre Jordan lol
Carmelo is the only player in nba history to get worse in each playoff appearance in his whole career 🤦♂️ let's go knicks!!
Crawford has better handles than Kyrie.
Facts
lol no
He prolly has the better crossover not handles
I know the only reason I remember swift is the Louisiana connection
Swift look like Ocho Cinco..
Kwame career was better than Darko but see how dude talk down on Kwame but top up on Darko.
I don’t think I would top Darko
I thought he was born in Dallas Texas?
How can we have hundreds of generational talents at the same time?
Everybody is a generational talent

Why did George Karl allow Kenyon Martin to d up Kobe Bryant lmao that’s all I remember from his careeer he really thought he could lock him up
How the hell did he lead the team in points with less then 15 points that is horrendous
The idea that the 2017 Warriors in 2017 Cavs were close is fucking ridiculous. Takeoff Harrison, Barnes and Kevin Durant leave the cavs the same are you fucking kidding me. The Warriors literally had two prime multiple MVPs on the same team. Bill is talking about fucking role players.
🙏🏾🤔YE£💪🏽🏀
Hahaha. Saying my boy Kenyon Martin 5:10 saying he miss a big chunk of the season only playing 56 games cause of an injury. Players now days whine and cry like babies cause they won't qualify for awards if they dont play at least 56 games. And their making 10× $$$. Soon the NBA will go all out woke
Cancel Dwight. Dude is a predator
