Under a picture of Lebron James, who was on the headline, it said James likely would have gone No. 1 overall in the 2002 NBA draft had he been old enough. I was wondiner, did Rudy ever comment on James around the time of the draft? Like whether he'd draft James or not if James was available.
If I get the pick I'll still pick Yao. The Rockets need a center and it takes a heck of a long time to get a good center in drafts these days, whereas promising forwards come almost every year. Maybe the caption should be rephrased, like, "James likely would have gone No. 1 overall in the 2002 NBA draft if you don't consider who won the lottery." (and even that it still may have been yao)
