    Seconded, Thirded, and infinity.

    That draft gave the NBA the best center of all time. All Time!
    and one of the bestest SG's to ever step on the court.

    The quality of the draft is defined by the number of super elite players to come out of it. Here's how you look at it:

    -LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, Dwayne Wade
    VS
    -Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Ray Allen
    VS
    -John Stockton, Hakeem Olajuwon, Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley

    It is impossible to tell because the 96 and 03 class is still playing. We need time for us to get a historical perspective on the 96 and 03 class, so it's unfair to compare them until we have a clear picture on how they appear looking back in history.

    Nash > Bosh
    Melo = Ray Ray
    Iverson = Wade
    Kobe = Lebron

    but

    Jordan > Kobe
    Hakeem > Iverson
    Barkley > Ray Allen
    Stockton > Nash

    That's the way I see it playing out.

    96 also had other all stars such as Peja, Jermaine O Neal, Ben Wallace and Marbury.
