[alan48085]

BEST dRAFT IN HISTORY OF NBA... ALLEN IVERSON.... kobe... ray ray.... steve nash ... how much more you need

[raider8sox]

REEF WAS A FREAKIN BEAST MAN!

[crda44]

this was a really deep draft!

[dds2190]

Yeap and Van/Mem didn't get good until Gasol came there and got them to the playoffs 3x.

[AllEyesOnMe08]

This man was underrated. Only made 1 all star team! Come on man.

[armstrong2mcgrady2k1]

Shareef was a great talent, but you have to hold the fact that he never lead a team over a .500 record as #1 guy. He had a solid career though.

[airyoxus]

hall of famer

[TheNDCtalent2010]

he was great, not good

[terminuszone1]

I used to watch him ball in highschool

[111chicity]

great player played for horrible teams he had a good field goal percentage twenty points a night sad that he only went to the playoffs one year out of his 13 year career

[ShootAAppleOffMyHead]

96 draft had many allstars and many players that are still in the league and have had an impact 2nd best draft ever

84' #1

[TMGPREZ]

take away jordan would u still think 84 was the best draft? watch the players and draft selections theres guys in 96 that are gonna pass 84 players in stats,championships,points etc

u kidding me? number 1 pick 84 sam bowie number 1 pick 96 allen iverson lets sart at number 1 my freind 84 2nd best 2003 third best

[pretzelpimp]

@TMGPREZ Hakeem was the number 1 pick in 84, Bowie was second

[YoYoYeahBoy]

@TMGPREZ anything with Jordan's name and Basketball in the same sentence is #1 lol

[samtheman7975]

@TMGPREZ theres olajuwon (imo best center of all time), Barkley(legendary rebounder), and Stockton(leader in assists of all time and point-asisst double doubles)

[TMGPREZ]

my mistake the dream was number one but fuck it i'll take shaq in 92 lol his dominance was the best from any center after Bill russell

[UpLikeWade]

Shareef was an excellent player

[jkballer16]

soooo many teams made mistake not drafting kobe earlier.. no1 wanted to take a risk i guess?

[z4ng3tsu1ch1g0]

He kinda looks like a skinnier version of Al Horford on draft day... :o

[SolidSnake061390]

@z4ng3tsu1ch1g0 hahaha..lol..now i remember who al horford looks like. it always bother me when i think of it. An older version of horford

[TheAmebix]

He was actually a good player, never got a good oppurtunity.

[chewyj555]

That's why teams should not rely on the draft to turn their franchise around. You never know if your gonna draft a bust or the league's next all-star.

[POWERJFROMLA]

wtf who is this?

[sactownsgreatest]

REEF!!!!!Great Career!!!! Not a bust!!!!!Deserved a championship ring!!!

[halokid26]

@sactownsgreatest he was good, not great

[reile567]

bust

[Majesticon]

are you kidding me? this guy was great. played on really poor teams, i can't believe they couldn't get him the help he needed!

[inc2000glw]

6-10, 220lb....worker bee !!

[arhymemaster]

Good player, was very underrated in his best seasons. The 6th best player from this strong draft class.

[CSLent]

ppl hesitated about kobe cuz he came out of high school

[Th3Best0ne]

everyones calling ppl idiots for picking camby shareef kittles dampier Lo wright and so on for kobe THINK ABOUT IT hes comming out of hs say we go back to 96 your a manenger you have no idead of how any of these players carers pan out...you probally wouldent of picked kobe either...

[lordg17]

i hate the draft selection but obviously at the time this wuz the best selection and dont forget people didnt like choosing high school player at the time

[hopelesskc]

i disagree it goes kobe,AI,ray allen

[XbuiiX]

Too bad he got injured

[dlee7283]

a Jamison type player in his prime. Both were 20/10 guys on bad teams.

[Ruebensvideos]

he was good in the begining of his career

[ajdoms4]

NOBODY beats this NBA draft!

[chitoz666]

this was a great rookie class

[alvinjason10]

[zackman47]
