The Draft Class of '96: The Truth

[1bzoe]

Why didn't you just call the video, Kobe Bryant, Stephon Marbury, and Allen Iverson Tribute or something like that? You did this video no justice by dedicating it to a draft class that had so much talent.

[astorbergonzoni]

iverson, camby, abdul raheem, marbury, allen, kobe, nash, dampier, jermaine oneal, stoyakovic dang the 2nd best draft by far

[agaynars]

this draft produced the 2nd most talent ever in the nba history

. 03 draft < 96 draft

[mrsquallkennedy]

@agaynars yup! there shoudln't really be a debate.

[canukmark096]

I'd say 3rd best draft after 84 and 03. I'm a little disapointed in the lack of Nash highlights on this video. I know he's not much for the highlite reel but he is a 2 time NBA MVP and will be a first ballet hall of famer, and will most likley be considered a top 50 player when all is said and done.

[TheAnswer71086]

i definitely woulda added Nash highlights but i didnt have any at the time.

and your definitely right, nash is one of my fav players, along with Iverson

[canukmark096]

Fair enough man, quick little Iverson story for ya. Gordy Cheesa, who has worked with literally the majority of the NBA and is a master genuis at scouting NBA talent has said that Iverson is by far the best pure athlete he has ever seen. He told us that at a pre-season camp back in 01 they had them all run a mile in their street clothes and Iverson did it in around 4 min.

[mrsquallkennedy]

@canukmark096 totally disagree I don't know what to say about the 84 draft but this one had more star power and raw talent. It really carried the NBA throught the post jordan era!

[abuevamonster]

@canukmark096 i would say that its the second best draft class. '03 are bunch of creeps except for dwade.....

[kinglomolomo]

CLASS OF 1984 jordan , the dream,sir charles barkely, john stockton that a team for you

[murphturph66]

Iverson vs Wade

Kobe vs James

Starbuury vs mello

Allen vs Bosh

96 draft is all guards... to close to call.. goo darko miliic

[gtmsnba13]

[nuggetsfan0115]

[aprilmarco]

What about steve nash & Jermain o'neal,Steve nash is way better then stephon,Hes garbage now

[cidnunez]

no draft has ever produced some many superstars and bust as this draft!! you talk about kobe, iverson, marbury and ray allen but at the sametime you had brian evans, todd fuller, efthimis rentzias and john wallace all go first round!! legends and guys most folks wouldn't even bother tryin to remember...

[wtfmynig]

[bikeboynoob]

[wavenstein]

Bullshit! Bwhahahahahahahahahaha

[galacticinquisitor]

From the 4 1984 members you mentioned compared to the 9 1996 members you mentioned, ready for this? Remember, it's 4 guys against 9 guys..

[galacticinquisitor]

im having trouble posting the stats gimme time

[akoyshokla]

1996 owns 1984! 1996 starters pg-iverson sg-bryant sf-stojakovic pf-o'neal c-camby reserves: nash,ray allen,ilgauskas,marbury,abdur-­rahim 1984 starters(thenoteworthy) pg-stockton sg-jordan sf- pf-barkley c-olajuwon AND THEN WHO?!?!?

[StoneThrowingDevil]

You don't need anyone else, loser...

That team could play 4 on 5 and STILL WIN.

[88HJS]

Agreed with StoneThrowingDevil. Stockton, Jordan, Barkley, and Olajuwon are all better than anyone on the 1996 team IMO.

[jimmytwotimez]

the song ask "i want the truth"...well your post is the truth lol

[shutdowncorner]

cant put nash as a reserve!

[jkchan1a]

1984 owns 1996

championships

1996-3

kobe-3

1984-8

jordan-6

olajawon-2

enuff said and the 4 from 1984 can be considered as the best at their positions of all time

[akoyshokla]

you can add one more from kobe. 4 more from fisher. 1 from ray allen...

[FireDannyAinge]

What the hell is with Marbury being mentioned. He is an over rated ball hog that can't get along with anyone.lol

[pridetobechinese]

u still want ainge fired? or u glad he is still here and still ripping his old teammate kevin mchale off?

[FireDannyAinge]

Yes I want him fired. Doc Rivers will never get out of the first round. again yOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST.

Danny Ainge should die.

[pridetobechinese]

they should get larry brown as coach. his tough love would work with this group and it would help mature the young players

[kivo44]

the finals

[TheAnswer71086]

marbury is a great talent that is just in a tough situation. im not gonna lie, his teams havent performed well, but that doesnt mean he doesnt have any talent

[BlackBerry1010]

There were a lot more from this class that's not here, Nash, Camby, Petra and a few others I dont recall right now

[eatcheesekobe]
