Take away the question mark, it was Sam Bowie.

Not bad.

The number 1 and 3 picks from that year only won eight straight NBA championships.

Makes you feel even more sorry for the Blazers given they chose Oden with the first pick three years ago and he has missed 2.5 of those season already.

Sam was never the same after his leg problems started even while he was still at UK. When he got there his shooting range was all the way out to about 20 feet or so. But, he never got that back after missing so much time due to injuries. Even as a UK fan I was stunned when he got drafted so high.
He's a good guy and lives in the Lexington area.

Funny in Georgetown after Ewing, mourning and mutombo they. Never got a center. Funny in 70s how Louisville used to be a power house with Denny crum, I forgot the 2. Brothers on Louisville in 70s, also how ucla has fallen I think Reggie Miller was, last superstar,for them , also I am surprised Carolina,hasn't won more championships, Duke really has destroyed college basketball with NO GREAT PLAYER in nba
