Babe wake up, Michael Jordan drafted Kwame Brown fist overall. <br /><br />It was the first time a high schooler had ever gone number one. What could go wrong? "Nothing!" said Wizards' president off basketball operations, Michael Jordan. (that's not a direct quote, that's an inferred-but-imagined, quote)<br /><br />He was not correct. <br /><br />Look, the 2000 draft was a tricky one, with no consensus number one pick and a bunch of high schoolers. But Jordan made the wrong choice and also was really mean to that wrong choice.<br /><br />He could have traded the pick, Elton Brand was available and in consideration. Jordan could have picked someone else, Pau Gasol was in the 2001 draft! But he didn't.<br /><br />My point being: Michael Jordan drafting Kwame Brown first overall was a big deal.<br /><br />My point is: Michael Jordan drafting Kwame Brown first overall was a big deal.
