re: Pro athletes who had major hype when they started, that actually met the hype

This. MVP in his rookie season.

KG wasn't a #1 overall pick, but he had a ton of hype because he was the first (or one of the first) to skip college under the new rules and was drafted very high.

I’m not a Lebron fan but It is honestly insane that he lived up to and probably exceeded his hype

I don’t like him either, but he’s real good
He is really good, but he certainly hasn't lived up to the hype. He was on the cover of SI at 16 being touted as a prodigy and baseball's "Chosen One."
Pick your starting 3 OF, does Harper even make the cut at this point?
Acuna
Bellinger
Betts
Judge
Harper
Trout
Yelich

Ken Griffey Jr. and Chipper Jones

Peyton Manning
Troy Aikman
Terry Bradshaw
All three were the #1 overall pick in the draft, and they all won multiple Super Bowls.

I’d take Springer over Harper

Lebron and tiger are the answers to this thread
If only baseball would have hyped Trout instead of Harper

Bregman didn't go #1 either but he was regarded by many to be the most pro-ready college player since Strasburg.
Posted on 8/16/19 at 11:37 am to lsutigers1992
Hes not even the most hyped top prospect over the last 5 years

If Strasburg was as good as Kershaw or if Harper was as good as Trout baseball could have an answer in this thread

# 1 all Time is either Peyton Manning or LeBron James.
We were told they were going to be one of the all-time greats way before they turned pro, and they were.
Lew Alcindor/Kareem and Shaq too.
