The Curse of the 2002 Draft.

Is it just me or do guys from the 2002 Draft have the worst luck?

Yao Ming - Just started breaking out this season, broke his foot and needs surgery.
Amare - Microfractures and surgery on both needs. All-Star career very likely over before it even got started.
Jay Williams - Motorcycle accident. Career over.
Dajuan Wagner - Apparently had his colon removed. Career over.
Nene - Broken leg.
Tskitishvili - Broken game.

And the greatest tragedy of all...

Mike Dunleavy - Perfectly fine.

That's GREAT!!!!!!

BTW, i agree with you. But i still hope yao and amare will be able to get back and good...As i do for Nene and Skita...and for everyone that's injured...

LMAO. Did something happened in 2002 that caused this?

Sucks for them

haha so true, they struggling..

Was Kwame in this draft?

Kwame was in the 01 draft.

By the way, thats an interesting fact on the 02 draft...

They've got a few good players in that draft, but they haven't been performing up to expectations or are getting injured...

Well I heard Jay Williams is in playing condition now and he's gonna make a comeback. I wouldn't be so quick to judge Amare though, because he has a long career ahead of him yet.

Amare played very well in that first game and there are no problems with the surigcally repaired knee. Now a minor surgery is required on the other knee due to overcompensating. It isn't a microfracture surgery on the other kneee anyways. Just a arthoscopic thing to do with cartillage or something.

He should of never fucking came back this season. They rushed him. In my opinion i think they should of waited till the Playoffs and then put him in in the second round. I think he would of been perfect if they did that.

Didn't The Ring come out?

is Dajuan Wagner's career seriously over? That guy was awesome! In HS he had the ben wallace fro goin on!

Tskitishvili - Broken game.

No. He's planning a comeback similar to Jay Williams. I doubt he'll be effective though.

There does indeed seem to be an unfortunate run of luck for the class of 2002, but Amare and Yao might not be as in bad shape as first thought. I'd be surprised if Williams ever became the player he was expected to be, should he return.

it was the calm before the hurricane...aka. 2003 mega draft.

I just hope Amare returns at least 90% of what he was plus some new stuff perhaps

And what if he doesn't?

Amare will be fine same with Yao. The Chinese are very pissed about Yao breaking his foot and the long rehab cause World Champs are coming up. I love the language the Chinese use when they are telling off Americans. This is what a chinese chatroom user said:

"He (Van Gundy) disabled Yao Ming! He's more vicious than a capitalist!"
