Tribute to NBA Players Transcends Beyond the Court

    With a nostalgic look back, basketball players from 1950-2005 take their place in NBA draft history.

/24-7PressRelease/ - WILMINGTON, DE, November 11, 2005 - The Draft Review announced its long awaited historical online resource in honor of NBA draftees. The free web archive appeals to NBA enthusiasts and serves as an essential reference tool for researchers and journalists. Although there are basic historical NBA draft lists available on the web, www.TheDraftReview.com brings impressive visuals and exclusive features for a trip back in time to experience the draft as it was on that very day.

The draft dates back to the earliest in 1950. While the players themselves are highlighted with pre-NBA photos, profiles and biographies, there are other dynamics that precede a draft. It's become a prime time event that buzzes with predictions, rumors and anticipation many months before draft night actually unfolds. The Draft Review takes you back through each year to recall the excitement and drama of it all. With in-depth reviews, commentary, articles and interviews, you're presented with the complete NBA draft experience.

"This has been years in the making, a tremendous undertaking with even more to come," explains site founder, Matthew Maurer (former Senior Scout for NBADraft.net). "From the greatest legends to the almost forgotten, each player has accomplished what so few are able to achieve - their names have been called on draft night. Although some former players have met with adversity, others have gone on to achieve beyond the court. They're now doctors, lawyers, architects, and even clergymen. Behind each ballplayer is a man with a compelling story. The Draft Review gives them a lasting voice and they won't be forgotten".
