Watching nba closely for 20 years that's the the most impressive sequence I've seen...there have been more important shots in the playoffs but 13 in 33 is absolutely crazy, even if I tried to wipe my memory I could not forget that
TBF, Duncan was well polished by the time he left, which is pretty incredible considering he picked up the game not that long ago, and how raw he was coming into Wake Forrest. Then again, he was already considered to be one of the best players coming out his Jr. year. Thank goodness he fufilled his mother's wishes by finishing school, which allowed SA to pick Timmy, and pretty much elevate themselves from a fairly successful franchise to the heights of teams the the Celtics, Lakers, and Bulls.
He would’ve been the #1 overall pick in that loaded 1996 class. Which is already the second greatest ever. If Duncan were also in that one, the conversations and debates about 1984 vs 1996 would be more colorful for sure.
That's one of the greatest what ifs of all time. He was good enough to be drafted after his sophomore year at wake forest, but promised his mom he would graduate college.
Stephen Montez yooo imagine if he would’ve came out after his junior year in 1996 that would’ve changed history cuz he would’ve went ahead of AI forsure , AI ends up in Vancouver
He was basically the closest to a perfect power forward we may ever get. 4 full years to develop in college (plus a degree as a bonus), All-Star as a rookie, loyal to one team á la Kobe and John Stockton, 5x Champ, double digit All-Star, guaranteed HOFer, and so on...and did all this without playing a DAY of AAU or similar junior leagues treated like pro development leagues. We'll never see another that special in this lifetime, bet your last dollar on that
He cant do the vid because brian the "GOD" scalibrine was not drafted but was descended from the basketball heavens in disguise as a 33rd pick so nobody would recognize that a basketball god is literally living among us
"You cant even do this in nba 2k yet" if I got crossed like that I would just walk straight to the bench and have a seat. 😂 but seriously that was brutal but its a part of the game.
@@GgotTheGoya Gil was such a class clown, fooling around with NBA execs and such that no one wanted to take a chance. Then teams realize how good he was they created a rule that allows team to make second round picks restricted free agents so they can match any offer.
@@citylights3452 Yeah it's a terrible attempt at a joke, it's pretty obvious why no players were picked ahead of me. Also, what's wrong with Android's?
I've watched a great deal of basketball videos and just subscribed now. I really feel like everybody else just talks to make noise occasionally. But Dom checks his sources, backs statements up with facts, digs deep for extra possibilities. These videos are tremendous and I can actually tolerate your videos.

Come on, Dom. You forgot T-Mac's dunk on Shawn Bradley!! Fantastic player. I'm a Kobe guy through and though, but T-Mac was probably my second favorite player to watch during the early to mid 2000s.
Ideas: (*Same Draft Class) Why 22 players were drafted before Alex English Why 13 players were drafted before Clyde Drexler Why 15 players were drafted before John Stockton Why 23 players were drafted before Arvydas Sabonis/24 players before Mark Price/26 players before Dennis Rodman/59 players before Drazen Petrovic* Why 10 players were drafted before Reggie Miller Why 23 players were drafted before Sam Cassell Why 4 players were drafted before Vince Carter/8 players before Dirk Nowitzki/9 players before Paul Pierce* Why 23 players were drafted before Andrei Kirilenko Why 30 players were drafted before Gilbert Arenas Why 34 players were drafted before Carlos Boozer Why 46 players were drafted before Paul Millsap Why 47 players were drafted before Marc Gasol Why 34 players were drafted before DeAndre Jordan/44 players before Goran Dragic* Why 29 players were drafted before Jimmy Butler Why 34 players were drafted before Draymond Green/38 players before Khris Middleton*
Conclusion: MJ knew the future and predicted Kobe's career thus vetoing a trade that would stop him from getting his 6th ring to keep Kobe out of the GOAT conversation
I love T-Mac & I can't speak for the other 7 players drafted in front of him but I think we ALL KNOW why Tim Duncan was drafted ahead of him Tim Duncan is arguably the greatest big man ever
If Danny Ainge was the GM for the Celtics in 96, he would have definitely picked McGrady at 3 or 6. Plus, if Kobe the previous season was picked 13th, I think 9th for McGrady seems right since both were coming out of high school with similar accolades.
I love TMac. I still have his jersey on my wall. But I cannot stand the people that swear if TMac had more help, he'd be better than Kobe. Those rockets teams in 2005-2007 weren't that bad and I don't remember Mac going off while everybody else sucked. He just didn't show up in the playoffs. And injuries did him dirty smh. He was a regular season scoring machine no question but there's more to the game than scoring. He's a top 10 2000s player but he's not better than Kobe or Allen Iverson
T-Mac was a horrible defender, no way he would become a better all-round player than Kobe lmfao. He's just an overrated bum who never was able to get past the 1st round during his prime.
T'Mac's only shot in the playoffs was 2005, and there is controversy around it. Other than that, he either had a team that sucked or, you know it, injuries. His 2008 team, if healthy, was his best one, but, again, injuries.
really enjoy watching these videos keep up the good work. I think you should do a why were 12 players drafted ahead of Karl Malone? referring to the 1985 nba draft
Everybody can say “in hindsight”. McGrady First two season is the reason why he wasn’t higher in the draft. You can say this about Ginobli who ease drafted when again? Or Ben Wallace who was drafted when?
Can't forget Tim Duncan was the last pure rookie to become an All-Star (Edit: no, Blake Griffin doesn't count-he was in his second year even though he got injured, and thus was not a pure rookie)
There was a deal in place to bring Duncan to the Magic but Doc killed it because he wouldnt allow Duncan to use the Magic's plane to take the occasional trip with his family....or at least that's what the story is...
@@Marcuz6 Haha, it was even stupider than that. Doc Rivers wouldn’t let Duncan’s close family members ride on the family plane with the rest of the team to games
Bro if you think it is easy to predict talent and the future I would like to see how all of you would do as a GM for 2 seasons see how your picks work out
My biggest memory of Tim Thomas was hitting the huge three against the Lakers in game 6 in 2006. If not for that, the narrative of Kobe's career might've been quite a bit different. The big thing missing in Kobe's resume was leading a bunch of scrubs to a playoff win, and then game 7 was an unmitigated disaster.
i think the travel between different systems made billups the player he became i think if he was kept by a team he would have been an above average pg instead of the glue of a champion team i love your videos also im a pistons fan
My Sixers took Shawn Bradley at no2 when we could have had Penny hardaway in 1994. My Sixers drafted Larry Hughes when we could've had Paul Pierce in 1998 and my Sixers could've had had Tracy McGrady instead of Keith Van Horn.
