What ACTUALLY Happened To Everyone In The 2008 NBA Draft?

[@TheRealVocalist2010]

I feel like D. Rose beat the "What If??" He beat all odds to come back and show he was still a major problem....yeah he ain't no champion but he's more than worthy of a Hall Of Fame slot.

[@thebestcentaur]

A true shame D-Rose looks likely to be the first MVP to miss out on the HoF. At least he's managed to stay in the league this long

[@LockdownK]

If it were me I'd put him in the HOF, it was because of him I even got into basketball.

[@thebestcentaur]

@@LockdownK I completely understand (because honestly, me too somewhat) and I know a LOT of people are gonna say he will (or should) make it on the MVP alone. But people forget that players with arguably better resumes than him are still not enshrined in Springfield (look at Chauncey Billups, for instance). But then again, Chris Webber, David Thompson, and Ralph Sampson are in, so I guess it's a wild card at this point

[@LockdownK]

I'll get all the basketball KZbin creators to make a video on it haha, we are going to get him in there lol

[@cosmosware4780]

@@thebestcentaurdrose already accomplished more just by winning that mvp

[@MoralesCorner]

He's definitely a HOF

[@babycakessr.8704]

Who called Joe Alexander the most athletic prospect in that class when D Rose and Westbrook was in the same draft?? 🤣

[@Pocc17]

It's great that you talk about the not so well known players like JR Giddens.

Giannis didn’t have to do Ibaka like that 😂😂😂

[@LockdownK]

Frrrrrrr, it's not like Serge didn't already know that lmao

[@STANDONFAITH229]

That was so funny.. you can tell it hurt Serge 😂

[@bungflop6433]

this channel has quickly turned into one of my favorite basketball channels to watch. No clickbait and no wasting time in the video

[@LockdownK]

Heard that! Appreciate you

Facts

[@DavidCandelaMartinez]

Randolph was a STAR in Europe. Even played for the Slovenian national team and won the Eurobasket championship alongside Dragic and Doncic.

[@LockdownK]

Wow!

[@XZAVIER-DAA-GOD]

Crazy how DJ got a ring before CP3 & Griffin, same with ibka getting one before Russ & Harden

Appreciate that

[@fookiebookie4239]

Just found this channel, top tier content thats lacking in the basketball world. This is like the basketball equivalent of Tubfrog

[@Chafe3]

Your writing really stands out compared to other nba KZbinrs. Concise and few grammatical and pronunciation errors. A lot of KZbinrs, you can tell when they slack off in writing scripts. You’re not one of them

[@LockdownK]

Thank you!

[@nbahistorian0482]

Bruh, @lockdown I just discovered this channel and you are exactly the type of youtuber I've been looking for. A super smooth voice, interesting videos that are are super long so I can listen while on a drive or doing chores; you are awesome and keep it up!

[@LockdownK]

Welcome aboard!

[@bshayc79]

These videos are fantastic. The way they are put together is very impressive... I'm kinda shocked they don't have a half million views

[@darkdarkbruhbruh3537]

D Rose will always be the biggest What If in the NBA history

[@babycakessr.8704]

I’d say it’s Len Bias since we never got to see him in the league before he died. D Rose was a MVP caliber player who suffered injuries that made him regress. Len Bias was talked about possibly being better than Jordan when they were both coming out of college

[@darkdarkbruhbruh3537]

@@babycakessr.8704 yea I also agree

[@LockdownK]

Then len bias story is crazy, but I'm 50/50 on him and Rose

D. Rose my favorite player ever,got into basketball cuz of him and I think he’ll be a HOF

[@LockdownK]

Hopefully

[@JoshuaTraffanstedt]

I remember paying particular attention to this draft as well as the nfl draft because a lot of the guys were my age at this point. I was class of 05 in high school. Its an amazing honor just to get drafted. Hats off to all these dudes just for that. An incredible accomplishment 👏 bravo

[@Danie-l5g]

love your thumbnail!

[@RothausBier13]

Excited to watch the video! You never disappoint! Keep up the great work 🫶

[@LockdownK]

Thank you! Will do!

[@KB-qk1ic]

It's crazy seeing how this draft turned out. Yes, there's always bust and players that suffer terrible injuries; but Rose, Beasley, Gordon and Mayo were supposed to run the NBA. They were running college basketball and getting all of the hype over everybody else from this draft. Then you have the players that couldn't adapt to the league changing.

[@TreTre90000]

Keep going bro, 100k subs otw!!!

this series is great

[@kellenwallace7552]

Why did stern say Nicholas like that 😂😂

[@LockdownK]

The best at getting names wrong haha

[@thomas_the_cat]

i think drose still makes it to the HoF... his career reminds me of grant hill's... although hill was more productive than drose post-injury, drose actually won an MVP

[@TheDarkestMarcus]

Damn, that was nasty what Giannis said to Ibaka. Even if he was joking, that still felt bad. Good vid. I subbed.

[@jimmykarlsson2567]

A kid in 2008 🤔. Making me feel old asf

[@juanspears5567]

Why Giannis do Serge like that

[@ja4309]

A lot of notable names on this draft class. Hell, there's a lot of players here that gave hell in 2k (e.g. Brook Lopez and Ajinça for me in 2k16)

[@LockdownK]

Give me any Center in 2K that has a good jump hook and it's buckets lol

[@gamify4228]

Never thought I’d see a Bristol flyers clip on this channel even if it was them getting scored on by London 😂

[@bshayc79]

At WVU Joe Alexander had 2 amazing weeks late in the season and in the Big East tournament scoring like 30 a game and shot up everyone's draft boards. Before that nobody ever talked about him. I remember looking at his Stat lines in the newspaper his rookie year and being like "uh oh" 🤦

[@LockdownK]

thats actually amazing that you remember that! I didn't really follow his career too much until I made this video

[@bshayc79]

@LockdownK oh yeah man he WAS ballin' in that little stretch. Shooting lights out in MSG in the tourney. He struck while the iron was hot and hit the draft, but he's another guy that coulda benefited GREATLY from 1 more year in school.

Not only did the kings draft Cousins they brought in Samuel Dalembert that same year and Dalembert was a solid guy. They shoulda drafted either Hayward or George

The Dragon was an amazing player. Respect! Even as a journeyman. You can see 90% of this draft doesn’t have his resume.

Brodie n Da Beard should go into the HoF together...OKC...Houston...Clipps...they ride together...

If Roy Hibbert played in the 90s I think that he would have been known as one of the better centers in that era.
