So I was doing some surfing, while I was really supposed to be doing work, but I made it all up when I found this.
If you scroll down and read, Michael Olowokandi was spotted in public and somehow it ended up on Fox Sports' Rumors section on their website. It is amazing that O-kandi (I'm not going to spell his name out all the time) is still alive and well... is he actually playing basketball still?
(Note upon further review, O-Kandi is not playing with the Celtics or anyone right now)
How bad does it have to be for him?
Kwame Brown still plays basketball despite not really playing basketball, but he's another failed prospect that everyone thought was going to be so great. It really makes you think about how bad some number one overall picks have been in the NBA recently (with in the past 10-15 years).
It's interesting to think about it this way too, in that with football and basketball everyone places so much pressure on the number one overall pick, but no one really cares about who is numero uno in the NHL or MLB draft (this goes beyond not being able to pronounce some of those French-Canadians).
I'm going to take time and look back on the past 15 years of NBA overall picks and see how they panned out to what people expected. Obviously this sucks for all players drafted from UNC since everyone is supposed to be Michael Jordan.
Sal Fasano Facts: Sal Fasano was actually drafted after Kwame Brown and played three seasons with the Washington Bullets and Vancouver Grizzlies.
