All the Picks From the 2012 NBA Draft First Round
Draft night was mostly about Anthony Davis picked as number one, but it turned out to be quite a celebration for the Kentucky Wildcats, as he was joined by Michael Kidd-Gilchrist in going 1-2 from the same school and all together 4 players in the first round of the 2012 NBA Draft, which surprisingly had no trades in the top 10.

NBA Draft – Great Number 1 Picks in the Lottery Era
Every time the NBA draft comes up, people bring out two lists – Draft Steals and Draft Busts. Sometimes, it’s easy to forget that players like LeBron James or Tim Duncan were actually number one picks, and sometimes, the teams that pick at the top spot actually get what they asked for.

Being a two time All-American and leading the Ohio State Buckeyes to the NCAA final four in 2012 isn’t going to help forward Jared Sullinger be a top 15 pick in the 2012 NBA Draft in a few days, as most of the top picking teams are afraid that his back issues will trouble him in his pro career.

2012 NBA Finals, Game 5 – When Russell Westbrook Fell Apart and LeBron James Officially Became a Legend
LeBron James tied for his lowest scoring game of the 2012 NBA Finals series, it might have been his best, closing out the series with a triple doube.
