Though the 1998-99 season was shortened by a lockout, it was the debut of a NBA Draft class with at least two future Hall of Famers, several All-Stars, and a bunch of other notable NBA players.
It's not as heralded as the 1996 NBA Draft, but the 1998 Draft has proven to be one of the best in NBA history.
Michael Olowokandi was taken 1st overall by the Los Angeles Clippers.
Olowokandi never lived up to expectations as a No. 1 pick. He has stayed off the radar since retiring in 2007 and earning $38 million.
