First of all, thank you for the good reception and how I said to. I want to continue with the dynamic of creating articles that contribute things that are not known. Well, this time, I present some data that is related to the NBA, and that you will surely find them curious.
First curious fact
- In 1984, the draft was magical, from there players John Stockton and Charles Barkley came out, but three players stood out as main players.
With the first pick, the Houston Rockets chose Olajuwon, an indisputable pick that ended up giving the Rockets the championship.
Portland Trail Blazers was the second and they have Sam Bowie, who played five years with the team although he had a solid career would become famous for being chosen before the shooting guard at the University of North Carolina.
The number three pick for the Chicago Bulls went to the great Jordan.
Second curious fact
- One of the best in history was selected in the 13th Draft in 1996.nAs if it wasn't incredible that 13 teams ignored Kobe Bryant, the team that selected him was not the Lakers, with whom he was going to play for 16 years, but Charlotte Hornets. However, in a trade that lost them, the Hornets traded custody of the new high school for Vlade Divac.
Rest in peace this great athlete
Third curious fact
- The Boston Celtics and the New York Knicks are the oldest teams in the NBA. The Knicks and Celtics have been around since 1946 and are the oldest franchises considering they haven't undergone any name or city changes. The tallest and shortest player played on the same team. At 1.60 meters tall, Muggsy Bogues is the smallest in the NBA. He was chosen by the Washington Bullets where he shared a team with the 2.31 meter Manute Bol.
Fourth curious fact
- The NBA logo, the man who lost the most finals. The silhouette that appears in the NBA logo is Jerry West, a legendary Lakers player who has never won a championship. It wasn't until his ninth appearance in the league that he won the NBA title. Fun fact: the logo has the globe in his left hand, while West is actually right-handed.
Fifth curious fact
- Since 1984, the trophy awarded to the champion has been worn by Larry O'Brien, who was commissioner of the NBA in 1975 and 1984. His accomplishments include the 1976 merger of the American Basketball Association, introduced the salary cap, and the most lucrative television deals to date have been made.
