this draft should be on the top 5 greatest draft class list

[sptrfn]

This draft was the beginning for two dynasties, the Bulls of the 90's and the Spurs of the 00's. The Bulls got Pippen and Grant, and the Spurs got Robinson.

Also, the Spurs getting Robinson may have saved them in San Antonio. They may be in Miami or New Orleans today if they didn't get the Admiral.

An underrated what if: What if the Suns get Robinson? They may have been the team of the 90's.

Hindsight is so interesting. Larry Connelly says there are 10 really strong players, but doesn't have Kevin Johnson, Reggie Miller, or Reggie Lewis on the list! Besides Robinson and Pippen, those were the best players. With hindsight as my guide, my top 10 (in rough order): David Robinson Scottie Pippen Kevin Johnson Reggie Miller Reggie Lewis Horace Grant Mark Jackson Mugsy Bogues Derrick McKey Kenny Smith

Nice top ten. No way were the Spurs going to pass on Robinson.

@mamacornettesmoney I'd switch Pippen and Robinson. but thats just me, yes Robinson was great but I always think of when Hakeem just dominated him right after Robinson won MVP.
