• Manhattan Buckeye

  My guess is his non-career is over:

  As opposed to Dookie Jay Williams, who was a colossal bust due to personal stupidity. Strangely, he doesn't mention that guy.

  And with this, his career is officially over and he cements his place in the #1 draft picks who have busted conversations.

  Bowie had the injuries didn't he?
• KB0938

  Biggest busts since bowie would be... Kwame, Candy man, Darko, Oden, Bender, Morrison. Im sure theres a few more

  Sam Bowie....from his 2nd season thru his 5th season TOTALED 63 games and even then was limited to an average of 27 min per game.
• Ironman92

  

  Bowie broke his leg 3 different times in those 4 seasons

  1. Both were injured or damaged goods going into the draft that was fodder for talking heads about how risky the pick would be......AND PEOPLE DRAFTED THEM ANYWAY.
  
  2. THere was a obvious #1 (Durant and Jordan) that was not taken #1.

  Bowie wasn't picked first. I say that Jordan at the time wasn't an obvious number 1 over Olajuwon. I think any team would have taken Hakeem over Jordan.
• Laley23

  

  Olajuwon was a great #1. The fact people DO NOT consider him a bad pick (when MJ was there) shows how amazing he was. Any franchise takes what Hakeem gave the Rockets on draft day.
• Iliketurtles

  

  Yeah LOL at anyone saying Bowie was bust because of anything besides injuries.
  
  Also pretty much any team was taking Hakeem #1 that day. It's not like MJ was supposed to be as great as he became. Like he didn't have the expectations that Lebron had when he was drafted.

• Tiernan

  Wonder if Oden smacked her around with his giant (supposedly...) schlong?
• BR1986FB

  This was a mistake. The guy they actually arrested was Fred G. Sanford.
• thavoice

  On ESPN's 5 reasons show not to blame the blazers for not drafting Jordan it talked about how every previous championship caliber team had a dominant big man so they chose him.
