It's ONE of the reasons why he's loved by even more than just his own generation. His sometimes-brutal honesty is another. He's honest no matter what. Even at his own expense. That takes a level of humility that a lot of people don't even recognize as humility. Which is ANOTHER reason why he's so loved.

This is easily the best and most balanced draft in the history. So much talent and specialists. You have some of the greatest scorers in NBA History with Kobe and Iverson. One of the best facilitator with 2 x MVP Steve Nash. Ray Allen and Peja Stojakovic remains as one of the deadliest shooters in all era. And this class had a playground legend in Stephon Marbury who in my opinion was the second most skilled player of the draft. Just imagine if Marbury fell into a great organization, he’d be another Hall of Famer from this group. Then the rest became either All Stars, Defensive Player of the year or were key pieces in championship teams; Marcus Camby , Jermaine O’Neal, Antoine Walker, Derek Fisher and Zydrunas Ilgauskas and though he was not drafted, 3 x DPOY and NBA Champion Ben Wallace was also part of the 1996 NBA Class. Just insanely talented and deep. Wish Kobe’s still alive. Sad we didn’t see him partake in the Top 75 NBA players anniversary and his HOF enshrinement.

It’s no coincidence Kobe went to the Lakers and with Shaq The drafts are where You can really see how much there is an agreement between the teams behind the scene that the public is not and most likely will not ever be privy to Just like with the refs and putting certain refs in certain games to make sure of a certain outcome . It may not be completely scripted and they’re too smart to have to leave any trails But there’s definitely nods & handshakes that happen between owners & The League to do what’s best for the entire League so that players and everyone involved with NBA ,MLB, NFL, etc. to make sure they continue to generate the most revenue possible So players have what they have now Which is Why Mike was going to Win no matter what as long as He was playing. Mike is why NBA is what it is now Started with Magic & Bird but Mike is what BLEW That thang UP Mike was Must See TV Always

This really was an incredible draft. But even bigger - think about how HUGE the "Big East" was. It was like a golden year in college basketball. Georgetown with Iverson, Nova with Kittles, UConn with Shuttleworth ;), Wallace at Syracuse. I see some guys saying 84 and while it did give you Hakeem, Barkley, Stockton and Jordan the depth of 96 kind of sets it apart. There weren't just standouts but I think more guys that had careers in the NBA. And by 'careers', I mean they contributed to the 'annual Jordan fodder replenishment plan'.

It's easy. Back then, Kobe didn't show as well in workouts and looked overmatched. That was the word amongst GMs so he went from top 7 to top 20. That's how his stock fell. It wasn't incompetent GMs he really just didn't show as well. Kittles had accolades and was a great prospect. No fault on the pick. Kobe just grew up, evolved and turned into an incredible player. Not a lot of guys turn into what Kobe did.

This draft marked that period in the NBA where Mike Fratello traded in his Sicilian afro for a Marv Albert inspired hairpiece. John Calipari fully embraced his Pitino cosplay. Tony Braxton was in the process of breaking up a core in Dallas. Fans witnessed the coming together and subsequent breakup of a Marbury-Garnett 1-2 in 'sota. John Wallace was the first Karl Kani endorsed NBA player. Iverson played the first half of his rookie year with a fro before the first iteration of his signature rows. Many folks thought Eddie Jones was on the cusp of stardom before Kobe came. The Raptors was the place to get your numbers up before skating. The Grizzlies as a franchise skated to Memphis. *Sidenote: Marbury should be a Hall of Fame inductee due to his status as a global ambassador of the sport of basketball.*

To say this draft shaped the NBA is an understatement, both good and bad!

Watching this it’s tough to see and ponder how many potential Hall of famers over the years weren’t able to break through to the NBA level. This shows how tough the business was and continues to be for so many people. Seeing Ben Wallace given a second chance, goes a long way for those that fall out of the draft.

1996 was a great year for everything. The economy was booming, politics were mostly sane, and the NBA was about to get a huge influx of unmatched talent.

Unknown fact. The Raptors won the 1996 draft lottery. They were not allowed to pick #1 due to their expansion agreement with the NBA. So they ended up drafting Marcus Camby at #2.

If Duncan had gone in 96 instead of 97, which he could have and still been #1 overall, the 96 draft would be the GOAT draft. Still had some legendary players, but some of the stars flamed out quick.
