Revisiting the 1996 NBA Draft..

[Anklebreaker702]

This is what's best about being a Laker fan. The organization wants to win. You can look at the past drafts and trades and be pretty satisfied. When I am really bored, I'll visit some memories of the 96 draft, Gasol trade, 3-peat, so on.. it's just great to be a Laker fan with the memories, history, and winning.

Yes sir! You can say that again

Kobe was such a Laker fan he wanted to be here before Shaq EVEN though E Jones was tearing it up.

Kobe had the confidence that he would be the best way back at age 17... a lot of players do at that age... but a lot of those players don't work 12 hours a day at getting better and better and better and better and better and better and better

So Steve Nash has as many MVPs as his whole draft class... Dude he is the GOAT

TRAVIS KNIGHTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, our thug credibility went out the window once him and Mike Penberthy left the team.

I was always enthralled by Steve Nash. This is a guy who was not recruited by any college, then played for an unknown in Santa Clara University, and was still drafted 15th overall. NBAtv recently aired an NBA draft marathon...and they booed this man when he was drafted. He ended up being a very smart player, multiple all-star, 2 time MVP...I'd say he's had a storybook NBA career so far. Hats off to you, Steve Nash.

Teams 1-12 fail

Charlotte should've never agreed to trade Kobe for Vlade Divac, and had they known Bobby Phills was going to die in a drag racing accident, probably would've kept Kobe..

seriously, dang them for not knowing the future

He refused to play anywhere else. The nets said they would draft him but he said he wouldn't go. Apperently Charlotte tried anyway or knew and wanted Vlade.
