#2 Class of 1996
The NBA Draft class of 1996 was another one that was stacked with superstars. Allen Iverson was picked first overall, and justifiably so, because the player is generally considered one of the greatest of all time and is a Hall of Farmer.
However, the one player from this draft class who surpassed them all in terms of pedigree and achievements in the NBA was Kobe Bryant.
A five-time NBA champion and 18-time All-Star, Kobe Bryant was arguably one of the greatest players of all time. His Jordan-esque style of play captured the imagination of fans and experts alike.
This NBA Draft class also featured Steve Nash, Antoine Walker, Ray Allen and Peja Stojakovic, whose success made this class one of the best of all time.
#1 Class of 1984
Hakeem Olajuwon went first overall in the 1984 NBA Draft. While he was an all-time great and a Hall of Famer, he wasn't the best to come out of this class. That honor went to arguably the greatest of all time, a certain Michael Jordan.
These two players in the Draft class were incredible, to say the least. However, there were other all-time greats like John Stockton and Charles Barkley in this Draft class too, players who went on to etch their names as some of the finest ever to have graced the NBA.
Considering the sheer pedigree of this Draft class, it is arguably the greatest of all time in competition history.
