Yao should be acceptable for Yao Ming, since, in China, the family name is first. That's why Yao is on his jersey and not Ming. Don't you all know that?

Kwame Brown is one of the biggest bust ever even though he came from high school

The Kandi man! Being picked number one is the only memorable thing about him. I was getting a lot of it from what school the guy went to. without that, would have been really tough

Kwame Brown and Pervis "rarely in service" (aka "never nervous") Ellison. Olowokandi who playes is first year in Italy with rather poor outcomes... Very nice!

i also spelled it "Olowakandi" and it gave to me. he had a couple of decent seasons, certainly better than brown and ellison, danny manning wouldve been great had he not gotten hurt so much...."springmom" is right about yao ming, yao is his family name and ming is his first name, it means "smart" "have a good understanding" and "bright/shining"

Awwwwc'mon. I only got 23. Robby doesn't rule in this quiz. But I still loved this quiz. Also. You should definetly put the college before the answer and the team after it. Because we write left to right, not right to left. And college OBVIOUSLY people go to first. Then the pros.

Hey Hey Hey! I think this is the year Kwame reaches his full potential! On a serious note, the 1984 draft was epic; Olajuwon, Jordan, Barkley, and Stockton. So was 2003; Lebron, Melo, Wade, Bosh. Every 19 year there's a spectacular draft. Expect 2022 to be another epic draft.

The one most annoying thing that I hate about Jordan ever is... picking Brown. We in Washington still hate him for that.

How many people thought it was strange that the 3 "Big Men" of the 90's Sampson, Olajuwon and Ewing went 3 years in a row in 83, 84, and 85

GRRRR...I knew Golden State's pick in 1980 had three names, and I kept trying "Micheal Ray Richardson".
