Dave Cowens, Rudy T, and Dan Issel (though he played in the ABA his first 5 seasons) were in that class as well.
well now that the class of '03 is all on the same team, its going to be kind of hard to evaluate them. and lebron took himself out of any slim chance he had of being in the GOAT conversation. stupid, stupid, move. and yea, class of '84 hands down
Class of '84 for sheer elite-level talent produced. Hakeem - top 5 center ever and HOF level. Barkley - top 5 power forward ever and HOF level. Jordan - top 5 player ever, top SG ever, and HOF level. Stockton - top 5 PG ever, and HOF level.
I actually think 2005 deserves a honorable mention...it may end up containing 2 of the top 5 PGs of all time. 1984 is without a doubt the best, followed by 96, then 03. The 96 one was deeeeep.
