I’m out here thinking the AD time stamp was Anthony Davis 😂

The fact that we have a 25+ min long video about every generational talent after LBJ just goes to show we throw that word around carelessly 😅

Bro Andrew is a a straight DAWG winning a chip at the age of 7 21:54

That Cowherd snippet was comedy in retrospect. Is he still wiping pie off his face for that take?

The Greg Oden one hurts. Watching him in person so many times... everyone could see he was on track to be another Shaq. Truly unlucky injuries... unfortunate depression because of the missed opportunity...he was elite

21:54 … DAMN I ain’t even know he won a chip in 2002 😭😭

I'm surprised you didn't mention Sebastian Telfair. In high school he had an camera team following him for a documentary while also having his games on ESPN2. Even pre draft he already signed a contract with Adidas. But that was just High school hype.

You forgot Ben Simmons bruh 😅

Greg oden is the reason why I can’t call an injury proned guy a bust because Oden was having a good second year until he got hurt. I can’t call him a bust because when he played he was good. Also I just got to Wiggins I’ve never seen a video by this cat but he seems so unbiased I really like this guy. Keep up the work amigo if you see this comment.

They listed Zion as 6'8" in college until the NBA issued a true measurement rules.

No Jabari Parker? I remember when he was in high school reading about how he was gonna be better than Lebron

20:47 Wiggins was not drafted by the Wolves. He was drafted by the Cavs and traded to the Wolves later that summer for Kevin Love and a few other players who went to the Sixers.

Most "generational" players are over hyped but you can see the raw talent Wembayana has you've never seen anything like it.

Wow Greg Oden was getting hyped up crazy

OJ mayo even though wasn’t number 1 overall pick was extremely hyped in highschool as generational.

Highschool highlights are so funny. Like you’re watching a giant bully the small white kid from computer class 😂

I remember when Oden and Durant were coming into the league. I preferred Durant for his game but I felt that Oden was more of a sure thing. I felt Durant’s potential was through the roof but Oden was legit.

I think we are missing Ricky Rubio and Andrei Bargani but overall great video

Cowhard clip was beautiful 😂😂😂😂 over a bench press 😂😂😂😂😂

Lonzo definitely got the most annoying hype of any player ever.

Blud was waiting for that bucket @ 11:15 😂

Another peak video YESSIR

There’s a parallel universe where Greg Oden is going crazy! 😢

Feel bad for Oden...he was going to be a great player

Collin wasn’t benching 185 😂

23:39 Crazy, that Pennsylvania has only ever been seen by 12 mio people.😲

Zion made Spartanburg, SC a destination. That's some serious hype😂

I feel like John Wall was the most hyped after LeBron and before Wemby. It was widely expected he’d be the top pick almost immediately after college. The Wizards won the jackpot at the time a lot like San Antonio did. His name was incredibly hyped. Wiggins hit the ground running and suddenly regressed but he was a huge catalyst for the Warriors 2021 ship

Cooper Flagg is about too be on this list soon 🤷‍♂️

man that Greg Oden pick will haunt us in Portland for decades to come. at the time it was 1000% the correct pick and no one can blame the front office for picking him but in retrospect it will go down as top 3 busts of all time especially cuz KD was next in line

Cowherd wasn't necessarily wrong...Durant just stayed healthy and got better ..Oden would arguably be in the conversation "top 5 big men ever" if he stayed healthy

This might be a bit eurocentric , but for me Luka was the only prospect I've seen in my lifetime i would call generational. Simply because I've never seen a player that young contribute to winning on high level professional adult basketball that much . I don't think any other 17 to 18 year old player can be the best player on a team that wins the Euroleague and then carries Slovenia to a Eurobasket. He was very unusual in terms of been essentially fully formed , skills wise , at 17.

He was being nice to Wiggins saying he was drafted to the Timberwolves. He was drafted by Cleveland n LeBron kicked him out to the Timberwolves. But still great vid. I saw you trying to be kind to Wiggins lol

Llama has already faded 😆 ja morant

Not mentioning austin rivers or lamelo ball is crazy, they got the same hype

Oden should’ve been a baby shaq 😢. Imagine if he played with lillard and Aldridge

In some circles Luka Doncic was also a generational prospect.

KD was dogged because of his lack of strength. What wasn’t mentioned is that he had a 2x work ethic and developed an intense midrange game and once Curry opened up the 3point line… he developed that into his game as well. If his work ethic was weaker he wouldn’t be an all time great.

Got to love Colin Cowherd. You can always rely on him for the most idiotic takes in all of sports. Sure, the NBA season is long and requires durability and core strength. But wtf do either of those have to do with benchpressing 185 lb?

AD is definitely a top 75 player

I feel like someone gets the generational prospect moniker at least every other year even if it's not accompanied by generational hype, like I'm pretty sure this vid doesn't even cover all the supposed generational prospect that have come and gone lol

Skipping over the ball brothers is criminal

Cowherd def doesn’t bench 185. He prob can’t even bench his own bird like body weight

Bron did the impossible. He surpassed that hype. Which is mind blowing.

No Ben Simmons?

This a good ass video

Psalm 23:4❤😊

Kevin Durant is the original layout for point forwards/ Centers

Oden wasn't a generational talent, he was a generational bust. Durant was the real deal in that draft but at the time execs were too obsessed with 7 footers thanks to Shaq. Oden had a very high ceiling defensively; but pretty average on offense. Not every 7 footer who looks like a mountain could become Shaq, people forget how skillful Shaq was for a big in his era. Durant on the other hand, he was something special. I actually did watch him in Texas a couple of times and he was just something else. A one of a kind talent.

Why put Hassan whiteside highlights ?

Lmao you skipped ball

21:54 2002 champion lol

Nah greg oden was finna be a problem

hahahhahahhaha i love the "specialists" ok the dude bench over 185 pounds ... but that also why he s still a talk show animator... what the point about benching over 185 n playing basketball or more playing in the NBA... i bench more than 185 and i cant do what KD does... o0 this guy anlysis level is inferior of actual ben simmons basketball level.... for me only one thing is sure... if you are drafted in the top 3 by porland your career will be a bust due to injuries. if you are drafted after the trailblazers pick you will be one of the greater.

I'd argue that only Anthony Davis and Zion Williams would qualify as "generational" prospects (i.e. someone whose draft grade you only see about once every 5 years) Unless I'm mistaken Blake Griffin also had a higher draft grade than a lot of players on that list

Kd college stats 🤯

NBA players are far to scrawny with their builds. They gotta get in the weight room like NFL players do, they would play so much better and be healthier for longer.

No Derrick Rose ?

AD is top 35 player of all time 🤷🏽‍♂️

John wall?

LBJ and Wemby have by far been the biggest prospects of my lifetime. Simmons and Fultz were pretty highly touted but the hype was nowhere near that level. Not sure if Wemby was even close to the LBJ hype for that matter.

🙏🏻

Ben Simmons

Can’t even hate on Greg dude was legitimately him it’s just his body gave out on him but he would have been him

Bring back our Sonics! We knew Durant was going to be the man ugh

Bro wiggins “role player” dude was an all star starter lmao

I still feel like Zion hype overseers all theses guys even victor he truly was the best prospect since lebron james

Nawl lonzo hall had the biggest hype

What boosts LeBron even higher is that he's where he is now after playing his entire career with a whole legion of Jordan fans hating allllllllll the way through. Jordan got to come in and just play. They called him the greatest after winning just one ring. No one was holding him to anyone else's ring count, they just saw that he was the best. NOW with LeBron, people dont want to move off MJ when LeBron is clear as day the greater player of the 2. People want to hold LeBron to a ring count when they didn't do that with Jordan. People discredit every LeBron win and pile on every loss. Jordan objectively won in a sorrier era. The 90s was trash league-wise. The powehouses of the 80s died out and it was easy picking for the Bulls. Bird's Celtics? Gone. Showtime Lakers? Gone. Bad Boy Pistons? Gone. All spent their primes beating each other up throughout the 80s. After 1990, the league was the Bulls. No other team stood a chance for real. Jordan also never faced a team in the finals with more allstars on it than his own team. LeBron has been in situations where he's been up against 3-4 allstars as the only allstars on his team.

U

Bro really forgot Blake Griffin exists

The league should retire the number 23 #jordan

no john wall or drose is insane👎

Greg Oden sucked, he was just tall n big. Durant was is a way better player

Stopped watching as soon as I heard your voice

Hope Wemby fails

Zion's a joke...nothing more...I told the buffoons who were droppin $20K for his rookie autos....I laughed ALL the way to a new house.
