What ACTUALLY Happened To Everyone In The 2005 NBA Draft?

[@andycanoy863]

Can't forget the battle of best PG between Deron WIilliams and CP3. Yup, Deron was a hooper who actually beat Chris Paul in many of their head-to-head matchups. The guy was legit before refusing to follow any of Jerry Sloan's plays, forcing him to resign, then injuries after. That mid 2000's Jazz team was pretty solid: Deron Williams, Carlos Boozer, Mehmet Okur and my favorite player of the team, AK47 himself Andrei Kirlenko.

[@LockdownK]

AK-47 is the goat fr. But yeah agreed, the point guard duel was neck to neck (pause)

[@andycanoy863]

@@LockdownK I wanted Houston to beat them in the 2007 playoffs. A Conference Finals matchup between TMac and Yao against Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili would be a fun matchup. If they made it to the finals, Yao Ming will feast on the Cavs that only had Lebron and no center that can give him a hard time. Big Zed is a solid starter, but not good enough to contain The Great Wall.

Chris Paul is a top 75 player all time with zero doubt. It's insane to consider not winning in a team sport, whilst always making the team you're not better, to somehow be a knock on someone's greatness.

[@premosuave9311]

Charlie was a good friend growing up and was always super talented. Even after being drafted he'd work out at gyms in the city and I was amazed how good he was at literally everything. I learned through him that many players never really get an opportunity to develop and there's a lot of waisted potential in the league

[@LockdownK]

That’s crazy that out of all the people to see this video, you are one of them. And glad you can vouch for your friend! As I am doing more and more of these videos you realize just how good everyone in the league is. Like most of these people can be MVPs in other leagues. I hope y’all two are still in contact nowadays!

[@premosuave9311]

@LockdownK thanks I'm a fan of your page and we speak once in awhile via social media. I grew up playing with or against him, lance Stephenson, Sebastian Telfair and their talent was surreal as kids. I got to work out with Charlie a few after he went pro and that's when I learned every one who's even made it to the league deserves some level of respect. Even the 15th man on the bench could be a potential superstar if given the opportunity.

[@LockdownK]

That's what's up! You sound like you could of been a hooper yourself!

[@premosuave9311]

@LockdownK I was decent but I didn't hit 6'0 until after high school. But most ppl don't realize being coordinated and athletic at their size is something that can't be learned. And Sebastian was just different but they all were elite compared to the many good hoopers from nyc.

Bad man video bro. I've actually seen a couple other players use the Gortat screen but always see it as a moving screen don't know how it was never called lol

[@LockdownK]

The example I use in the video def looks like a moving screen lol. But typically the center will screen the guard. And if the guard can get there defender in jail going over the screen (aka the defender is behind the guard) then the center will roll and seal off (box out) his defender so the guard has a wide open lane to the hoop

[@ElstonGunnII]

I can see that but I guess it's not really called because the screener is never really 'set' and is more or less (slowly) pushing the defender out of the way

[@LockdownK]

In a way, I should used a different example because there's a way to seal out the opposing center without doing an illegal screen, or fouling I do it all the time when I play pick up basketball because it's like 80% effective versus other rec players

Chris Paul trade to Lakers was denied by the Hornets for a very good reason. Stern was the acting owner and front office within the organization were adamant that he declines the Lakers offer because all they could offer was aging veterans n a late first round pick. Whereas they got Eric Gordon, Aminu, Kaman and a first round pick from the Clippers. Much better return than a package around Odom, who was never the same and Bynum who never played a game after being traded to Philly.

This draft is so nostalgic, sooooo deep with starters and role-players.

By far the best player from this draft class - and it’s really not even close - Chris Paul will go down as a first-ballot Hall-of-Famer even if he never wins that ever-elusive ring. It would have been a bit of a tough sell to take Paul first overall back in 2005 considering his lack of size but, clearly, he should have been the top pick.

So you understand anything about basketball? Kobe was not double-teamed, he was triple-teamed and quadruple-teamed, how the hell that is not making everyone else baskets easier?

Griffin practiced shooting threes constantly in Detroit and averaged under 34% at 6.5 attempts per game over three seasons. Gasol never even tried to be a three point shooter and still shot a better CAREER three-point average than Griffin did during his BEST season in Detroit. And let's not ignore that Gasol was better from the line and better at shooting from every other spot aside from the dunker spot. Gasol was CLEARLY a better shooter. LeBron has nothing to do with this whole conversation. I think you're a little lost. Clearly he's living rent free in you're brain 😅 Also, I think you misread my question. I said do you really think playing beside Kobe offers a better SCORING opportunity than playing with Chris Paul? If we're talking about winning it's a different story, but playing beside Chris Paul is a major reason why Griffin averaged more points than Gasol. As per Rodman not being a great shot blocker... I don't see how that's relevant. Are you trying to tell me you think Blake Griffin was a better defender than Pau Gasol? lol. All due respect, I think you gotta rewatch some film.
