Every #1 Pick Since 1980 | Cade Cunningham, LeBron, Shaq and MORE

Cade Cunningham was the latest prospect to be taken No. 1 overall in an NBA Draft when he was selected by the Detroit Pistons!

The fact that the rockets picked Hakeem over MJ and still aren’t disappointed with their choice just shows how great and underrated Hakeem was

[youngbae]

Iverson was the only guard drafted first pick in 28 years, until Rose. and he's only 6 FOOT! Shows how crazy talented he is, in a big men era.

Yao Ming and his parents had the most awkward handshake😂😂

It’s tradition the NBA uploads a video like this every year

[AchieveLemn]

This video is crazy because it makes you realize no matter how big of a name we think the #1 overall pick is at the time of the draft, there’s a massive chance that they won’t be anywhere near to a star player, let alone a franchise changer.

From 2005 - 2012. All those players have either had their careers completely derailed by injuries or are considered injury prone.

*5:31** - **5:35* K.A.T. with his late mother...Jacqueline Cruz. She was so beautiful. Every photo I've seen of the two of them together, they both looked so happy. May she rest in peace. ⚘

3:42: i love the fact that this celebration was so awkward lol. But still congrats 20 yrs in the future.

It's crazy that I associate Yao Ming and LBJ with two completely different errors of basketball. They were drafted 1 year apart. Testament to LBJs longevity.

5:40 Remember kids, this day the 76ers drafted the best shooter in all the history of the NBA

[raffaele]

it is amazing to see that many first choices have gone nowhere

[rams]

man if they would have treated Greg Odens injuries like they handled Embiids he could have dominated for a while

[yourragesalt]

The cavs managed to draft Lebron and Kyrie, then went for Bennet and Wiggins 😭😭

[KarmaJolt]

Orlando had some surprisingly good picks!

[bruskydu]

1.44 My mans Larry Johnson looks like he's already in the Hall of fame on his draft day.

[LeBeautiful]

Alternative title: every draft pick since Green wore his MJ outfit

[-jmsb-]

Sad to see Greg Oden not going further in the league. Dude got mad potential but injures ruined it..

[haroldmartis]

5:38 I can't be the only one who laughed so hard when I heard Ben Simmons

[rinoasperga]

Among the teams in the nba, spur is by far the best in picking their players in the draft. They have the best scouts.
