This. 84 and 03 are pretty damn close though.

03 has more depth
84 has more Greats

[angelbelow]

84 then 03

[ChrisRichards]

96 was a special crew until its best players started collapsing. 03 is right there with them because its Top 4 players are dominating right now.


2003 is top heavy but 96 was far more talented overall.

[JMarkJohns]

Greats: 84
Depth: 96
Balance twixt two: 03

I'll take 84 and not think twice, however. You give me Stockton, Jordan, Barkley and Olajuwon and I'll fill out the remainder of my nine-man rotation with second-rounders from that draft and take my chances.

Watcha think?

GOAT/best SG, top 3 PG, top 3 center, top 5 PF of all times and you are asking us if 09 and 86 is better?

[ezau]

84 and it's not even close

[Killakobe81]

84 you had me at Olajawon but Barkley and Stockton though ringless not bad ...

2003 may catch it ...but they have a LOOOONG way to go ...

Jordan denied a whole generation rings; its unfortunate

[Medvedenko]

84, then 96....03.
Look at MVP's and Rings, final appearances etc...

03

03 class of stars has only one ring (Wade).

[sefant77]

Wade doesnt have a ring, he has a buttplug from Stern & Co

[Truckules]

84 and it's not even close

[JamStone]

03 class of stars has only one ring (Wade).

The 84 class of stars had zero rings in the first six seasons after that draft

And don't forget Darco has one, too.

[IronMexican]

Or was it Darko? I think it was Darko

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

This thread reminds my friend owes me money for betting me money Danny Manning was drafted first in Jordan's draft class. Gotta love betting people money when they're drunk.

if you want to go by rings, the 1992 draft class owns your 1996 kobe ass.

1992 draft :

Shaq - 4 rings
Robert Horry - 7 rings
Alonzo Mourning - 1 ring
PJ Brown - 1 ring





anyone notice how the OP listed twice the amount of players for kobe's draft class than the others? and with guys like antoine walker?

[XFactor]

84 only because Jordan is on there.

Dirk has a ring
