The Draft Class of '96: The Truth

The NBA draft class of 1996 is often considered among the best, along with 2003. The draft featured MVPs (Allen Iverson, Steve Nash), Champions (Kobe Bryant) and numerous All-Stars (Stephon Marbury, Ray Allen, etc.). The video showcases three of the draft's most electrifying guards that continue to this day break ankles and make posters.

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.

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

[FireDannyAinge]

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

[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

[franchiize15]

[TheAnswer71086]

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

[abuevamonster]

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

[mrsquallkennedy]

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

[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!

[agaynars]

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

. 03 draft < 96 draft

[nuggetsfan0115]

howard wasnt in the 2003 he was in 2004

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.
