Eddie Griffin

Reading on ESPN that the former Rockets/T-Wolves swingman died in a car crash recently.

A phenom who never lived up to his potential, mainly because of his off-court troubles.

US sportswriters are now compring the 'Class of 2001' to that other cursed draft, the 'Class of 1986'...
Everyone can eat s#!t! A big bag of s#!t! I'm the greatest man in the world!

Check out some of the players picked at the tail end of that draft
Tony Parker, Mehmet Okur, Gilbert Arenas and Zach Randolph went 19th as well.

As mentioned before, apparently Michael Jordan was about the only person in the Wizards organization who wanted to draft Kwame Brown and then once they became teamates, he broke him down like he'd done to players at the Bulls many years prior.
