The 2003 NBA Draft was celebrated as one of the best drafts
the NBA had seen in a long time even before any players were drafted. That’s
because the two biggest names in that draft were current New York Knick Carmelo
Anthony and current Miami Heat forward LeBron James.
These two small forwards drafted at the top of the 2003
Draft had different games but both possessed all-world ability. This was
supposed to be the second coming of the Bird-Magic rivalry that put the NBA on
the map back in the early ‘80s.
