Alright, so we got every NBA team's last first overall pick
0:03
And of course, there are a few teams that have never picked first overall, including the Jazz, which is that foreshadowing for this year
0:12
As a Wizards fan, I hope not. And the famous story with the Grizzlies, of course
0:15
is that they were this close to LeBron James in 2003, but they got the second pick and had to trade to the Pistons
0:22
It's kind of crazy that the Thunder have never picked first overall, despite having so many homegrown stars
0:28
Also, not to be that guy, but it is interesting how often the hometown kid ends up going first overall to the hometown team
0:35
including, of course, LeBron before Andrew Wiggins. But again, I'm not that guy
0:39
If we're going to go there, of course, I got to bring up the frozen envelope with the Knicks and Patrick Ewing
0:43
And then I'll be honest, I had to look up who Charlie Sher was for the Celtics
0:47
It turns out he was the number one overall pick in 1950, but he never actually signed with the Celtics
0:53
So they ended up trading his draft rights for future Celtics Hall of Famer Bill Sharman
