We all know how it went down.
1. Rockets - H Olajuwon
2. Portland - S Bowie
3. Chicago - Michael Jordan
5. Phila - Charles Barkley
16. Utah - J Stockton
How Things Should Have Gone...
1. Houston Rockets: Michael Jordan
2. Portland Trailblazers: Hakeem Olajuwon
3. Chicago Bulls: Charles Barkley
4. Dallas Mavericks: John Stockton
SO..... what do you say? always draft "for needs" instead of the "best player available?"
It was a costly mistake done by either Houston and Portland. Not sure who the Houston Rockets had at that point in time but I keep reading the Portland had C Drexler who turned out to be a great player BUT hey nevermind I don't even wanna talk about it. If it was up to me I would have choosen MJ as the 1st pick overall. Why? that shot he made to win the national championship answers all my questions and doubts.
What about you my friends?
