Homie was drafted before Kevin Durant...

I can't really put him in this, we just don't know if he would have lived up to the hype or not

You proved my point the hype caused that otherwise he wouldnt have been back there returning kicks

Reggie Bush. Now it was his inability to stay healthy more than anything but the expectations for him coming out of SoCal were crazy

Eric Crouch drafted by the Rams.. converted him to wr and he retired after one year

I wouldn't call this hype just a busted draft pick....I remember when he was drafted...most folks thought he was trash before he even go on the court

Jeremy Lin

Nah linsanity was hype .. he fashioned himself into a decent player that was more fan driven than anything

And this nigga had Jordan even giving him praise at one point and offering to work him out yet all he wanted to do was play his Xbox in the hotel.

That said: McGregor, Rousey, practically ANYONE in UFC not named Silva, Jones, Penn, St. Pierre.

Football: Michael Vick (hate it or love it his run was more Bo Jackson than Warren Moon), RG3, Vince Young (Jeff Fisher's fault but still), Reggie Bush, Bortles (haven't checked back up, but ESPN was on the nuts at one point)

Basketball: Oden (he was injured if I recall and STILL went over Durant. Trailbrazers lost Jordan AND Durant... Stoudemire and Rasheed didn't smoke L's as big as that front office), Rose, Harold Miner, Adam Morrison, Jimmer, Reddick, and waaaaay too many European players that didn't amount to shit.
