As of 2022, the only remaining active player from the 2004 NBA draft is Andre Iguodala( warming the bench).
As of the 2022-23 season, Lebron James is the remaining active player from the 2003 draft class; Udonis Haslem entered the NBA in 2003 as a free agent after going undrafted the previous year ( warming the bench)
As of 2022, Chris Paul is the only remaining active player from the 2005 draft class.
Where are Melo, Wade, Bosh, Dwight Howard, Deron Williams, and many others?

Injuries and Melo was blackballed. Health/luck with health plays a part too

Why is that?
Well. Even as lebron reaches his ceiling of being the eternal #2, Hakeem did manage to do what lebron will never ever will and that is winning it all with no allstar teammate. Lebron usually needs 2 at a time lol
[QUOTE=ShawkFactory;14727129]Why is that?[/QUOTE]
Racism probably

He in particular was a victim of racism in a sport that is almost 80% black?
Wouldn't Lebron, and so many others, be affected as well if this is the case?

And Lebron didn’t go to college
I don't understand how people vote Hakeem over Lebron, then vote Durant over Hakeem.
