Personal data of Sam Bowie

1984 is an unforgettable year in the history of draft, because it was in this year that Michael Jordan entered the NBA. Originally, the pioneers had priority over the bulls, but they didn't like Jordan, which became the biggest joke in the history of the draft.

Before the draft of 1984, although Jordan had played a great role in American college leagues and led the University of North Carolina to win the NCAA championship in 1982, his guard position and height of 1.98 meters were not as attractive as a tall center. So after the Rockets picked Olajuwon, the pioneer general manager of the second draft hesitated slightly on Jordan and turned to the center group who participated in the draft. After careful search and consideration, the pioneers finally saw Poewe clearly. Poewe was born in the University of Kentucky, one of the top ten famous basketball schools in the United States. He is the main center of the team's main lineup, with a height of 2m 16. He is very attractive in terms of pace movement, running speed on the court, jumping ability, and China Investment Corporation. He is one of the central figures concerned by scouts and managers of various teams in college competitions. Bowie is one of the heaviest freshmen in the history of Lebanese high schools. Average more than 28 points per game, 18 rebounds, selected for the starting lineup of McDonald's and Rangers. From 65438 to 0980, Bowie was chosen as the last player in history who had no college or professional basketball experience. After playing for the University of Kentucky for three seasons, Sam took part in the NBA draft with a serious leg injury. So, in the draft of1June 20th, 984, pioneers announced that their "prey" was Poewe. The Chicago Bulls, ranked third, watched helplessly as two big centers were robbed by others. Although the Bulls also want an excellent big center, they really can't find a center talent that can match the talent in the draft, so the Bulls decided to win the championship of the University of North Carolina, Jordan, who is known as the flying man.

Bowie and the pioneers were extremely unlucky. Poewe was injured in sports before. After coming to the Trailblazers, he suffered a new injury in the fierce competition of professional teams. At first, he underwent surgery to correct the bone in the leg cavity and remove the bone spur on his big toe. After a year, my right leg and tibia were severely fractured, and I spent the whole season in soup. After another year, he finally recovered from his injury. Unexpectedly, the bad luck of the Wei Bao brothers never stopped. Before the game, he broke his right leg and tibia again, and even didn't play a pre-season warm-up match, so he went to the hospital to play a plaster crutch for one day. The poor pioneer watched Jordan become famous in the NBA, and he won the best rookie player award of the year. His offensive breakthrough ability and inseparable defense predicted the birth of a generation of great players. Moreover, Jordan's joining not only improved the record of the Bulls, but also increased the value and box office of Bulls fans under the call of Jordan's personal charm. The pioneers missed such a good opportunity out of thin air, but they just picked a tall "sister Lin" with Kong Wu. Non-stop sports injuries have made him miss more than 300 games, and the glistening money has been poured into him, and the strength of the team has been greatly reduced because of his absence. In desperation, the Blazers finally sold Poewe to the New Jersey Nets before the start of the 1989 season. Since then, Poewe has disappeared from this big net. As we all know, Jordan later became famous all over the world and became the greatest player in NBA history. The mistakes made by the pioneer in the draft gradually showed his stupidity and funniness. To this end, the pioneers have a famous saying-"We needed a center at that time"-which has now become a "famous saying" teased and ridiculed by the sports world and the press, and has been quoted for a long time. 1992 finals, the Chicago Bulls led by Jordan beat the Blazers 4-2, adding endless regrets to the Blazers who hated the Pearl. After playing for the Trailblazers for four seasons, averaging 10.5 points per game, Bowie, who was plagued by injuries, was traded to the New Jersey Nets for Buck Williams with the draft pick of 1989 on June 24. The following four seasons with the Nets were Bowie's healthiest and most successful period. Average 12.8 points and 8.2 rebounds, and never missed more than 20 games in a season. Bowie announced his farewell to professional basketball on 1995 after leaving the Nets and spending two seasons with injuries in the Lakers. In his career, Bowie averaged 10.9 points, 7.5 rebounds10.78 blocks, and also had 30.2% three-point shooting percentage.
