Fail. Big time.
No one was comparing Bynum to Wilt before/after he was drafted like they were Odom --> Magic.
Still fun to embarrass trolls for their idiocy/flawed logic.

If not for his at ude i think Kwame Brown could have been a beast.
Why not limit this to players in the NBA at least 5 years?
Coleman and Thomas definitely (wasted talent)
Rod Strickland
Odom and T-Mac (always had the skills, but never the temperament, to lead a team places)
Garnett? No freakin way! Led bad teams well, led a good team to the Trophy.
Steve Nash
Brandon Roy
Dirk Nowitzki
Vince Carter
T-Mac
Allen Iverson
jury still out on LeCrab... He's just still young...
A few names not yet mentioned: Joe Smith, Felipe Lopez, Keith Van Horn, Ed O'Bannon, Eddie Griffin, Marcus Fizer, DaJuan Wagner, Ron Mercer, Billy Owens, John Wallace, TJ Ford, Kendall Gill, and of course Never Nervous Pervis
Roy? He's just at the start of his peak.
Dirk and Nash have achieved a lot but never got their ring, like Barkley, Malone, Stockton etc.
Agree with the rest.
I know this is a troll post, but Nash and Dirk had next to no hype, except for Barkley busting a wad wanting him to go to Auburn. Nash barely got a college scholarship.
Agreed with Vince Carter. At least he's the best dunker of all time I guess.
Yes Roy. He has been hyped to the point of an undeserving All Star appearance, but the reality is that he's nothing special. His Portland teams has been average and he has shown he's more interested in himself than the team. He's no franchise material if you ask me.
Damn, I guess it's time to create a new troll username...![]()
He's only played 3 seasons on a young, rebuilding team!
Have you seen him close games? The guy is a killer, and he's improving.
Dead wrong on Roy I reckon.
Hype!!! Neeexxxtttt....
Eddy Curry by far. The media hyped him as a Shaq who was further along and more talented. He's just a completely worthless player who never made any kind of impact. Curry is a much bigger bust than Kwame Brown IMO.
Well, the media was correct. Shaq was a useful fat-ass. Curry is a fat-ass too, but a useless one.
Kobe Bryant. His nuthuggers have been calling him the next Jordan for years and he has never nor will he ever live up to expectations
Bender and Harrington. Pacers got that one wrong.
I stand by Garnett. He has always been hyped on the same level as Duncan. There is also plenty of do ented cases that illustrate what a poor leader and human being he is.
True. Curry had almost Lebron type hype (as far as media coverage). With his TV show, I thought he would at least be the next Patrick Ewing.
All he's known for now is "Come touch it, Dave."

Ryan Leaf.
Miner had potential? lol
But seriously:
- Coleman: what a ing talent; he even blocked a young Shaq on dunk attempts in may occasion; and he posterized him once
- JR Rider: so much offensive talent
- Kenny Anderson
- Latrell Spreewell![]()
No one mentioned Michael Olowokandi-- he was a #1 pick.
