Lebron James and Magic Johnson two of the only #1's in team sports history to win 4 or more titles, maybe Kareem Jabbar too, but those are all basketball players.
NFL, MLB, NHL, it is very difficult to live up the hype. Sidney Crosby and Eric Lindros? were they both #1 picks? sidney has had an incredible career and Lindros did not win a cup from what i remember but he was still a tremendous hockey player with a better career than 95% of people who played the game.
