S1.E21 | The 1984 & 1996 NBA Draft Classes

Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley, and John Stockton. Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, Steve Nash, and Ray Allen. Each Hall of Fame Player was drafted to make an impact on the franchise that chose them. They went on to do that, and even more, for the entire league.

Who were the top players from the 1984 and 1996 NBA Draft? If there was a re-draft, how would the order shake out? What memories come to mind from the greats from both drafts? Who didn't pan out for the team that selected them? Which players were sleeper picks?

Lucas, Ben, Maurice, and Uriah answer these questions and much more on this special episode of Basketball Now and Then: The Greatest Comparisons.
