THE 2003 NBA Draft remains one of the most legendary drafts in NBA history.

Though it may lack the depth of the classic 1996 Kobe Bryant draft, it was among the most top-heavy we’ve ever seen: LeBron James went first, and the top five picks were rounded out by Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, and Dwyane Wade.

Of course, like all drafts, it also produced some famous busts, role players, and players who went into other fields after their playing days were over.

See what happened to the top 10 picks of the draft below:

LeBron James was picked No. 1 overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers. LeBron’s one of the best players of all time, with four MVPs and three titles after winning a championship with the Cavs last year.

Darko Milicic was picked No. 2 overall by the Detroit Pistons. Considered one of the biggest draft busts ever, Milicic played for six teams in ten years. He later played overseas, became a kickboxer, and now reportedly lives on a farm in Serbia.

Carmelo Anthony was picked No. 3 overall by the Denver Nuggets. Anthony is a nine-time All-Star and is in his sixth season with the Knicks.

Chris Bosh was picked No. 4 overall by the Toronto Raptors. Bosh’s successful career has taken a strange turn. After sitting out portions of the last two seasons with bloodclots, the Heat have put a pause on Bosh’s return to the floor. It’s unclear if he’ll play in the NBA again.

Dwyane Wade was picked No. 5 overall by the Miami Heat. After a falling-out with the Heat in free agency, Wade joined the Bulls over the summer.

Chris Kaman was picked No. 6 overall by the Los Angeles Clippers. Kaman played for the Trail Blazers in 2015-16, but did not return to the team this season.
