June 26, 2016 will mark the 20th anniversary of what is often considered the greatest draft class in NBA history, though the players drafted in 1984 and 2003 would likely have something to say about that.
Headlined at the time by Allen Iverson, Marcus Camby and Shareef Abdur-Rahim, the draft also featured All-Stars Kobe Bryant, Ray Allen, Stephon Marbury, Antoine Walker, Jermaine O’Neal and two time MVP, Steve Nash.
In a recent article for The Players Tribune, the third overall pick, Shareef Abdur-Rahim documented all of the behind the scenes information fans wish they could’ve been a part of but weren’t able to be until recently on account of the intense coverage of all things draft related.
