What Happened To The 2008 NBA Draft? 

Derrick Rose career would have been really stellar until that playoffs injury…

Goddamn! This was a seriously good draft class. Two league MVPs, and yet like a number of people have already said, this class's potential still left so much on the table. But I imagine if you count up All-Star and All-NBA selections, 2008 would probably compare favorably to almost any other class. If you compare NBA games played, it probably stacks up better than most. It is not common to see so many long NBA careers outside the lottery. Great video to remember how successful this class was.

This draft had sooooo much untapped potential. Still was a good draft though, but jeez what could have been.

The music in this is BEAUTIFUL! Well, well done sir!

Every time I look at this draft class it’s sad because this class is OP

Derrick Rose managed to get his hands on the MVP trophy, but his career could have been so much better. The point guard won Rookie of the Year, became an All-Star in his second season, and amazingly, became the youngest MVP in NBA history in only his third year in the league. He was rewarded by the Chicago Bulls with a huge new contract in December 2011 but was limited to only 39 regular season appearances due to injuries. Rose was back for the playoffs and was ready to push the Bulls to an NBA title. However, disaster would strike. In Game 1 of the first-round bout against the Philadelphia 76ers, Rose tore his ACL while trying to jump. The Bulls were up 12 points with just less than a minute-and-a-half left in the fourth quarter. He shouldn't have even been in the game at that point... Rose never returned to the MVP star he was after undergoing knee surgery. He missed the entire 12/13 season and only played ten games the following year. The highlight of Rose's career since that fateful knee injury came on October 31, 2018, when he scored 50 points for the Timberwolves in a 128-125 win over the Utah Jazz. Rose was incredibly emotional after such a superb performance, which was a joy to see.

Nahh that block on Scal was ruthless

Really sad that D-Rose will be the first ever MVP not to make the HoF. He just hasn't done enough-his body robbed him of that trajectory

This Was A Solid Draft.... The Top 10 Minus 1 Pick Crazy...

Beasley's problem was always mental. He was kind of looney.

D Rose is still my favorite player, and why I got into ball. Scored his career high on my Wolves, holds a record that will be hard to ever beat, he’s a legendary player and could’ve been a star had his coaching staff treated him better

Your always my no.1 idol Drose

Great class

Nice video

13 picks before a rings. Damn

crazy how people deny that russ is a top 5 point guard of all time

Crazy to say. But honestly if I could've been any player from that draft it would be JaVale McGee

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't OJ Mayo's "drug problem" just that he smoked weed? Which isn't even a thing the league cares about anymore

DRose is such a sad story. The man could’ve been so great. As well as these men losing their careers over weed. They beat their bodies night after night. Let them smoke damn!

If we have one coming thing in our minds . What if Derrick Rose didn't crack his leg in the first place ?

As I like to say , DRose is the Goat that never happened

This draft could’ve have been one of the best of all time

Gallo is the definition of underrated, injuries did him dirty tho

When talking about the drug violations we should separate marijuana violations from the rest

Mike Beasley and O.J Mayo are “what ifs”

Espn 30 for 30 “The Rose that never blossomed”

Russ doesn't get dragged through the mud as much anymore. The only people that do it are casuals who are stuck on the bit. I don't even think Skip hates on Russ as much anymore (granted I stopped watching Skip after Shannon left).

Joe Alexander is my hometown hero😂

Drose 😭😭😭

Mcgee is the goat.

2012 Bulls Winning It All

Anything? Russ was literally more explosive than Rose, Ja is equally as explosive too. SGA will equal him too soon.

It's Dwight not Shaq

Tibs ruined rose’s career

Only my pistons would trade for an old guy with 3 leg injuries 😭 I didn’t even realize who he was till this video 😂 i forget all about him

Oj mayo and beasley coulda been better

K love not whining? thats all he did in Cleveland after bron left

Early 🎉 👇

Jesus Christ loves you

Drose was a tragedy.. The rest are bums

Gets suspended for 2 years for drugs meanwhile the league just ignores the wife beaters and pedophiles
