	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?

	Jeff:	Oct 15th, 2008 at 05:37 GMT	9 points
	LOL. It took me like a minute to spell Olowokandi.

	raguv2000:	Nov 20th, 2008 at 17:14 GMT	16 points
	Change 1998 to LA Clippers

	Loppy:	Jan 11th, 2009 at 20:00 GMT	5 points
	Kwame Brown is one of the biggest bust ever even though he came from high school

	ku_sucks:	Feb 4th, 2009 at 03:38 GMT	7 points
	i would be willing to be a lot of money that blake griffin appears on this list next.

	Denzil:	Apr 3rd, 2009 at 18:53 GMT	-2 points
	I got 13, not bad considering I'm still pretty new to the game!

	kobe:	Apr 18th, 2009 at 19:18 GMT	2 points
	35. Can't believe I missed Olowakandi. He was a bit of a flop.

	Bartleby:	Jun 15th, 2009 at 04:56 GMT	8 points
	i can't believe i missed kwame brown. oh wait, of course can believe it.

	I got 42, Olowakandi was more then a bit of a flop..

	alhutch:	Jul 17th, 2009 at 22:41 GMT	4 points
	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

	kevmurph55:	Jul 18th, 2009 at 14:05 GMT	5 points
	i like the draft

	ryann:	Aug 5th, 2009 at 01:36 GMT	-2 points
	couldnt spell andrei B from the Raptors

	phillyfan7676:	Aug 30th, 2009 at 02:49 GMT	-2 points
	got all 42 easy. feel bad for griffin look at the other clipper number ones

	mininimi:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 20:57 GMT	4 points
	griffin has a low percent because people didnt get griffin before, because he wasnt an option yet

	shiit:	Sep 23rd, 2009 at 20:46 GMT	-2 points
	got 24

	Brooklyn_Girl:	Sep 27th, 2009 at 23:53 GMT	9 points
	I love that there is always a Smith and/or Johnson.

	natedogg21:	Sep 28th, 2009 at 00:45 GMT	2 points
	Got 37. Think I spelled Olowokandi wrong but it gave it to me. I think I spelled it Olowakandi.

	scoonman:	Oct 27th, 2009 at 15:45 GMT	0 points
	would have gotten them all but couldn't spell bargnani

	poloplaya14:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 03:43 GMT	8 points
	You should say Clippers for 98 and 09

	Tarabas:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 16:40 GMT	4 points
	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!

	KosMo_KraMeR:	Dec 9th, 2009 at 13:20 GMT	3 points
	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"

	Khazar49:	Mar 2nd, 2010 at 23:09 GMT	0 points
	Manning = Griffin? Perish the thought. Poor Clips.

	rubberbands:	Mar 30th, 2010 at 20:33 GMT	4 points
	great, you should do something like list all of the members of the 2003 draft class

	oldgreg456:	Jun 11th, 2010 at 04:47 GMT	0 points
	well this sucks

	kazakhfillmore48:	Jun 29th, 2010 at 18:46 GMT	3 points
	Congratulations Michael Olowokandi and Kwame Brown for being the biggest busts in NBA history!

	sportsfan26:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 21:42 GMT	2 points

	robbyrules:	Aug 1st, 2010 at 13:02 GMT	1 point
	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.

	SEMOredhawks:	Aug 13th, 2010 at 20:17 GMT	3 points
	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.

	yankeespurs101:	Aug 31st, 2010 at 15:13 GMT	3 points
	The one most annoying thing that I hate about Jordan ever is... picking Brown. We in Washington still hate him for that.

	dereklariviere:	Sep 1st, 2010 at 22:58 GMT	2 points
	40. Missed Lanier, Collins and Lucas. Damn. So close.

	drizzydre:	Sep 25th, 2010 at 02:17 GMT	3 points
	DAN the MAN rock chalk

	Socceristhesport:	Sep 27th, 2010 at 22:58 GMT	0 points
	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

	barnztormre:	Sep 28th, 2010 at 23:12 GMT	4 points
	GRRRR...I knew Golden State's pick in 1980 had three names, and I kept trying "Micheal Ray Richardson".

	SuperAnchorman:	Dec 23rd, 2010 at 18:02 GMT	1 point
	Wow, I didn't know Pervis Ellison was a #1 pick. That was a bad idea...

	Beatlezfann:	Dec 30th, 2010 at 02:26 GMT	2 points
	because of italian class, i can finally spell "bargnani" :D

	sc00:	Mar 6th, 2011 at 23:25 GMT	5 points
	I am glad to see that the first comment from over two years ago about not accepting "Yao" still has not been fixed.

	sconroy93:	Mar 23rd, 2011 at 22:34 GMT	1 point
	Come on Greg Oden! We're still waiting to see how great you are!

	ajgator7:	Apr 17th, 2011 at 00:03 GMT	2 points
	One day I will learn how to spell your name Hakeem, one day.
