WHO IS THE BEST NUMBER ONE PICK SINCE 1985??
Since the NBA lottery was introduced in 1985, 18 of the 27 No. 1 overall picks have become All-Stars.

Since 1985 we have had a lot of great number one picks. The question is now who is the best number one pick since then. Here are my top 5.

5.) Patrick Ewing 
 The man who brought the Knicks back. Ewing was one the more highly looked at prospects NBA prospects of all time. Ewing mostly lived up to it making the Knicks a force for many years. This Hall of Famer has done so much the one thing he that he dint do and will regret is not winning a ring for the Knicks.

4.) David Robinson 
   Another Hall of Famer Robinson is one of the main reasons why the Spurs are relevant. Robinson is one of the greatest centers we have ever seen. He won two world titles with the Spurs and also retired as a champion which is something players dream of.

3.) LeBron James
   I know what your saying " LeBron only three!" Well when you look at the other two guys you will understand. LeBron has become the best player in the game today and is gonna go down as an all time great.  LeBron is a three time MVP and now a NBA finals MVP and champion.

2.) Shaq
 
The most dominate center of our generation Shaq has done so much. Between MVPs, All Star Games, Finals MVPs and wins. The most impressive thing to me is other then his first year when his team went 41-41 Shaq never missed the playoffs no matter where he went or who he was traded to.

1.) Tim Duncan
 
The greatest power forward ever. Duncan has done so much in the game. Hes a 4 time champion former MVP. Duncan to me is a slam dunk as the greatest number one pick mainly because, he has stood at the same place he was drafted at and has done all his greatness that means a lot when you think about this question.
