Oddly enough, the NBA is a different type of culture that has seen 13 as a lucky number in the draft because it has produced players that went on to become stars or at least talented scorers in their own right. Many 13th-overall draft picks in different NBA drafts over the past three decades have gone on to prove that number 13 is a lucky spot for any team to land in the draft. This has also served as a testament that a player's worth and potential are not always determined by his position in the draft. In some cases, these players have even made teams rethink their decisions of not drafting them somewhere in the top 10. What is also interesting is that the best 13th-overall picks have also turned out to be some of the best scorers in NBA history. Arguably the most decorated 13th overall picks in NBA history are Karl Malone and Kobe Bryant, both of whom have carved careers worthy of the Hall of Fame and getting named in several people's list of top ten players. Interestingly enough, Malone and Bryant are second and third respectively in the NBA's all-time career leaders in scoring. Had the 1985 and the 1996 drafts been repeated, Malone and Bryant would have surely been the top picks of their respective classes. Did you enjoy this excerpt?
