    Math is wrong. Hakeem was drafted in 1984. That's 29 years ago not 30.

    Not gonna lie, I got chills and almost teared up seeing the 1984 draft picture. Beyond awesome to witness.

    That was just awesome. I wonder if that was the same red bow tie he wore when he was drafted.

    Awesome moment. Hakeem is a class act and a nice surprise for Stern as he made his last pick as commissioner.

    Dream still the best. Ever.

    Starting in 1984, this is Stern's 30th draft. You have to count 1984 as "1".
