In the 2003 NBA Draft, iconic players from the league, including LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, and Chris Bosh, joined the league.
One of the biggest surprises is that Darko Miličić was ranked second just behind James. The Serbian center struggled to influence the NBA and made history as one of the most disappointing draft topics.
Anthony and James were friends and were expected to be in the top two drafts. The two talked about Lebron being near him in Cleveland and Carmelo in Detroit. But that didn’t go as planned, and the Pistons robbed Miličić and pushed Anthony to the third pick in the Nuggets.
“And as him [LeBron James] I got a call, I got a call, my agent is there for Detroit to come next, Detroit is taking the Darko [Milicic].. What am i like? Melo remembered the draft night Lindsey Wisniewski from NBC Sports..
