Miami Heat Introduce LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade

Notable Members: LeBron James (1st), Carmelo Anthony (3rd), Chris Bosh (4th), Dwyane Wade (5th), Chris Kaman (6th), David West (18th), Boris Diaw (21st), Josh Howard (29th), Mo Williams (47th), Kyle Korver (51st), Jose Calderon (Undrafted)

The 2003 NBA draft class is the best since 2000 and one of the best ever. James is a four-time MVP and possibly the second G.O.A.T. Anthony, despite his current status, is a future Hall of Famer and one of the greatest scorers of his generation. Bosh is a lock for the Hall of Fame even if his career was cut short while Wade is the third greatest shooting guard ever.

Kaman, West, Howard, Williams, and Korver were all All-Stars while Diaw was a key member of the championship winning 2014 Spurs team. Calderon has carved out a good career in the NBA even though he was undrafted.

However, names like Darko Milicic (2nd) and Michael Sweeney (9th) were poor selections by the Detroit Pistons and New York Knicks.
