When you hear the name Sam Bowie, what’s the first thing comes to mind? Anything about Michael Jordan being taken the pick after, going on to become the greatest player of all time, and one of the most iconic brands in American history. The ultimate miss in sports draft history for the Portland Trail Blazers, and somewhat the Houston Rockets as well. Sam Bowie has been featured on many publications like ESPN and Sports illustrated as the biggest bust in NBA history. But why? What Happened? How’s a player good enough to be drafted before 6 all stars, 3 hall of famers and the greatest of all time, become labeled as pretty much a mistake that should’ve never happened? The pick was in, and Sam Bowie was the guy at #2. Without he or the Blazers having that much of a choice, they went forth and created history together, being known and the franchise that made the biggest mistake in history, and a player that didn’t live up to the impossible hype of being drafted before Michael Jordan.

If Sam Bowie never gets injured, what do his career stats look like?

@ShaunTheNavigator Год назад

20 and 10 guy.

He gives them that one great year(i.e. Bill Walton) and maybe even win one of those 2 championship apperances.

20 and 10 with 2 or 3 blocks per game and him and Drexler forming a very good big man and wing duo.

@creoleDJ Год назад

Depends on how the Blazers (or whatever team was to get him) would’ve used him, but I’d say about 15 ppg, 12 rbg, 2 bpg average overall. We got a little glimpse if what a healthy Bowie could do when he was in New Jersey: he averaged 14 points & 10 boards in his 1st year with the Nets..

Sam Bowie made the Olympic team as a college freshman. Sam took Kentucky to the Final Four, in '84, after being out 2 1/2 years! Kentucky wins the '83 Title with a Sam Bowie, as opposed to NC State. Taking the best available big man was a hard rule, back then. Sam Bowie was that nice! He was nowhere near being a bust!

@evanjordan5075 Год назад

Gotta say surprised you covered two big men back to back on stunted growth JC. I heard that Houston did offer to trade Ralph Sampson to Portland for Clyde Drexler and the #2 pick in the 84 draft. So Houston could've drafted Olajuwon #1 and then drafted Michael Jordan #2 and would've had a big three of Olanuwon, Jordan, amd Drexler. Portland would've got their center they wanted in Ralph Sampson but probably still get injuries and has his career cut short due to injury. Also of this trade is made Portland never has to worry about drafting Sam Bowie before MJ.

@TheOtherMJ_76 Год назад

It has to be hard living with the perception many have of his playing career. Injury after injury, and the mounting pressure of seeing Hakeem and Jordan performing so well. Actually, Bowie had some decent to good years when healthy. He underachieved because his body simply couldn’t hold up to the pounding basketball puts on your body. At least it was never said that he was lazy, or didn’t love the game. He simply had the worst injury luck and draft position perhaps of all time.

This is the first time I’ve ever heard someone say Hakeem was a bad pick. Yes, Jordan is better but at the same time the Rockets made the best selection they felt like they could have made and it definitely payed off for them. They won 2 championships with him at the helm and he was arguably the 2nd best player in the league with only Jordan ahead of him & was the best center in the league. He was so great to the point up until I watched this video, I never heard anyone give the Rockets any slander for him being picked 1st & honestly if they had to a re-draft, he may still go number 1.

@creoleDJ Год назад

If you REALLY want to put someone as the “biggest draft bust ever,” you could put Blazers draft pick LaRue Martin. Martin was drafted #1 overall in the 1972 draft over Bob McAdoo & Julius Erving, among others. In 5 years, he STILL didn’t total as many points as McAdoo tallied in his rookie year! 🤣 I hate the fact that people always use unplanned injuries as a reason to label someone a bust, like they do with Bowie. (Ironically, another Blazer draft pick, Greg Oden, faces the same criticism.) If people want to use injuries as a measuring stick, then maybe Bill Walton (ANOTHER BLAZER?! WTF?!!!) should be taken off of these “best ever” lists, because he only had about 4 or 5 great seasons before injuries took him down. Just saying…

@pickles-_-4942 Год назад

I remember watching an ESPN documentary on Sam Bowie. I think he talked about leaving Kentucky after his sophomore year. And sometime after deciding that is when he had his leg injury. The medical field when it comes to dealing with sports injuries is far more advanced now than it was then. He was never really the same after that injury he suffered in college. The Sam Bowie before the injury could’ve been an All-Star caliber center. Portland drafted him based on potential rather than production. I think his last year of Kentucky only average like 10 points a game.

Saying that Houston with Olajuwon minus the rings in the 90s would almost be as bad is wrong. Houston got a hall of famer in Olajuwon that took his team to the finals his first few years in the league. There's no telling if Jordan would have won a title in Houston. It took him time in Chicago to even find the right winning combinations. There's no guarantee that Mike would have found it in Houston.
