I don't think the PASportsfan's question on quickest turn around after a #1 overall draft pick has been answered.
How about, Earvin "Magic" Johnson? Magic was the first overall pick in 1979 and won the NBA Championship in 1980, famously playing every position from Point Guard to Center; A generational talent that created the "Showtime" Lakers.
The Magic v Bird high stakes championship games that started with the NCAA finals between Michigan State and Indiana State continued throughout the 1980s NBA. Has there ever been anything like that since? By the way, I'll date myself and admit to watching that NCAA finals game on a black and white TV while being told to come to the dinner table by my parents who just didn't understand why the game was epic. (I held off until Michigan State pulled away to seal the game.)

In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.
