6	Kwame Brown is definitely the biggest bust of this decade, possibly ever. The fact that the Pistons passed on Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, and Carmelo Anthony to draft Darko makes it way worse for him. He is forever linked to "what could have been" for the Detroit Pistons. As far as straight basketball skills, Kwame = Darko. They both suck.

4	That 2000 draft was pretty bad with the likes of Stromile Swift, Darius Miles, Marcus Fizer and Mike Miller going #2-5 in that draft.

1	When Kwame Brown and Michael Jordan were teammates with the Wizards, I guess every scrimmage was littered with creative names Jordan would call Kwame. Kobe Bryant later called Kwame the same names. He's been berated by the best.
