Michael Jordan who is the greatest basketball player ever to play ball(I don't want to hear anything from you Kobe lovers).
I can see the Rockets taking Hakeem Olajuwon #1 since he ended up having a Hall of Fame type of career himself. But Sam Bowie by the Trail Blazers at #2 over Jordan, seriously? Sam Bowie was nothing more then a run of the mill journeyman player in the NBA. Definitely a case to not be drafting someone just because you wanted someone to play that particular position for your team.
Other notable players from that years draft was #5 Charles Barkley by the 76ers, Otis Thorpe #9 by the Kings, Kevin Willis #11 by the hawks and John Stockton #16 by the Jazz.
