Did you "boo" when Stoudamire was drafted over O'Bannon

[Gold Chain]

Only time I ever booed was when they passed on Igoudala. That one hurt.

Liar. You didn't boo when they passed on Iggy. Nobody did. Sure, the Hoffa pick wasn't good, and I'm sure you didn't like it...but we still had Carter at the 2 spot. I don't think it was seen as such a big loss as the percieved Stoudamire over O'Bannon pick.

Worst draft year for us was 1999 - Antonio Davis and Radojevic for #5 and #12 .... we passed up:

Wally Szczerbiak (SF)
Richard Hamilton (SG)
Andre Miller (PG)
Shawn Marion (F)
Jason Terry (G)
Corey Maggette (SG/SF)
Ron Artest (SF)
James Posey (SG/SF)
Andrei Kirilenko (F)

Liar?
Just because you were peering through my window on draft night and I was macking on your girl, doesn't make me a liar.
I boo'd.

More like you boo hoo'ed after she laughed.

But we all had a good time and that's what is important. Just joking.

I was at the Skydome that night... and cheered and hi5'd my mates. True story.

Seemed like all the boos were coming from the lower bowl...

[jay632]

didn't know enough about college ball to boo back then, all i knew was MJ dominated the 90's

I was at the Skydome and I was stunned silent, I was a big time NCAA fan back then and O'Bannon wasn't just about the hype, he was an all-american champ with the necessary credentials & skills.

I dont know the full story of why he didnt pan out as a pro but everything I heard was that the doctors believed his knee would never last an 82 game NBA season.... maybe a 35 game NCAA season but never 82. He was seen as damaged goods by the time the draft rolled around and for good reason. H ecouldnt compete physically in the pros with a broken wheel.

As for Damon, he was a pleasant surprise but anyone who followed college ball knew that in his junior year Stoudamire/Reeves were considered the best backcourt in America (although I think Eddie Jones/Aaron McKie were better)
