I see 1 Hall of Famer. 1 borderline. Rest are stud role players or borderline All-Stars.

'84. 4 Hall of Famers. 1 leads the NBA in total assists and among the league leaders in steals. 2 took turns with Defensive Player of the Year awards with MJ and Olajuwon. 1 is arguably #1 at PF by position in points and rebounding. Of the guys mentioned, I think there's 10 total rings.

In terms of hall of famers, u say 1 for sure and 1 borderline. Well kobe 4 sure, and I definitely believe allen iverson will be there, and nash is the borderline one IMO.
U think ray allen and jermaine oneal are just stud "role players"? They're go-to guys on their teams. I disagree. More than stud role players. Stojakavic=maybe categorized as stud role player, but if u a go to guy, u more than just a "stud role player."

Is there any reason Bowie was picked over Jordan? wow talk about the Blazers laying a bomb big time, till this day there haunted through that draft and the Choke job in G7 in 2000.


When you think about it, the shame wasn't that Portland took Bowie over Jordan, but rather that they took Bowie over Barkley. As Mike mentioned, they already had The Glide and Terry Porter in the back court...you throw Sir Charles on that team and that would have been an amazing starting lineup.

Being a Lakers fan, of course, I'm quite glad it didn't go down that way.

Absolutely. People forget Kobe was the first guard ever drafted directly out of high-school. All the previous HS draftees were big men. Everyone who scouted him knew he had raw talent. It was his lack of fundamentals that were in question.

I think this might have played a little factor into him wanting that game so bad on Wednesday night and maybe forcing some shots. Throw that in with the first game in N.O. and the hype that game was getting. These are the type of games Kobe thrives in. Just a thought.

solid group of players - nice influx of talent in to the league in 84-85. Some good small school players here, like Dumars and Porter. There's also a high comedy factor here with guys like Uwe Blab and Alfredrick Hughes.

I believe you are right. When talking on Steven A Smith's show, he said he remembered the hornets trading him cuz "they had no need for him". Kobe just Said, "OK....OK, I'll remember that" and he said he hit the gym right after he heard that. He uses everything against other teams to motivate himself.

Little known fact: New Jersey was set to take Kobe at 9, but the combination of Calipari perfering Kittles and Kobe's Dad making it known that Kobe would make it "difficult" if they took him forced them to change their minds. Amazingly, that was the only team ahead of Charlotte that wanted him.

Even less known fact, Phoenix wanted him as well. They worked their asses off to get him and failed. When the lakers picked up Kobe in the trade and sent vlade, Danny Ainge was quoted saying "Holy SH!t!!!! They have Kobe AND Shaq!!!!"

You beat me to that post! The '03 draft class is definitely one of if not the best class. There is just way too much skill and potential in that class.

No, it wasn't his lack of fundamentals that were in question. He had among the most individual skills as a guard as collegiate players. Elite ball-handling, passing, shot creating abilities, athleticism, AND size.

It was ABSOLUTE insecurity by GMs to pick the guy, only because they had seen so many great high school guards go into college and not turn out to be great players.

Kobe was arguably the most skilled guard out of HS next to LeBron.

When West so him beat out Cooper and ACC player of the year in individual workouts, West wasn't insecure anymore. No reason to be.

Whoa, not instead, but after he retired from basketball. He had quite a few productive seasons.

'84 is the best draft class ever. Dream, Mike, Stockton, Sir Charles as the brightest stars. There were many other players also with solid careers, like Sam Perkins and Alvin Robertson to name some. Worth of mentioning are also Rick Carlisle (coach of the Pacers) and Carl Lewis (9 Olympic gold medals, former world record holder).

As for '96, it's a quality class.
