The NBA lottery selection raises courageous claim to the 1996 draft

The 1996 NBA design is one of the best in the history of the league.

It showed Hall of Famers Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, Ray Allen and Steve Nash. There were also Derek Fisher, Jermaine O'Neal and Peja Stojakovic, Stephon Marbury and Marcus Camby.

Kerry Kittles, who was collected by New Jersey Nets No. 8 this year, recently spoke about the stacked class “Scoop B” Robinson.

“I didn't know that Kobe would be Cob“, Said Kittles.” I played against him in the high school … I knew he was talented, but not against him The Caliber. The same applies to Steve Nash – played it at Maui Classic. But man … Jermaine O'Neal, Peja, Derek Fisher? This design was particularly. “”

The 1984 draft is largely considered the best of all time. Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley and John Stockton, All Hall of Famers and on the Top 75 list of the NBA had that.

Then there was in 2003 when LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Bosh were selected. This summer Anthony Wade and Bosh joins the Hall of Fame. James will get an invitation as soon as he retires.

Nevertheless, Kittles said, who helped the networks in 2002 and 2003 to set the 96 class class against everyone.

Kittles said: “My draft? I put it against a draft. Even 2003.”
