In hindsight, Kobe would obviously be the first pick.
After that, it'd be a toss-up between Nash, Iverson, and Allen.
The Raptors picked second and were absolute trash, but they already had Stoudemire at the time, so they probably would still take Camby, maybe Allen.
Iverson would probably go to the Grizz. Allen to the Bucks and Nash to the Wolves instead of Marbury.
For the record, Nash had a better career than Iverson. The Canswer was more talented and at his peak a better player, but Nash has been better long-term, easier to build around and every guy in the league would choose to play with Nash over The Canswer. Just ask Melo, C-Webb, Stackhouse, the entire Pistons roster, Larry Hughes, Iggy, etc.
What score first wouldn't choose to play with a pass first player
...and for the record I never heard any of those guys say anything bad about A.I outside of Stack and Webb....and let's be honest I watched the games and Webb wuznt the same damn Webb.
Kobe and A.I my one and 2 favorite players all time...say what u want but him and Kobe have the same damn mentality basically lol....if they teamates ain't scorin cooperation goes out the window and they will take bad shots,if they on a hot streak all cooperation goes out the window as it should imo when u two of the greatest scorers of our time....they bad shots are better than open shots of sum of the nikkas they've played with....the only knock I put on Iverson is that he had potential to be point guard of Magics breed where he could've controled the game and I believe get those bad teamates easy scores if he had the will to really learn that pg position....he could've got 10 assist a night effortlessly without that knowledge and in fact showed it when he first got to denver and wuz tryna prove he wuznt selfish....that only got thrown in the bushes when the team started struggling a bit he abandoned it and went back to what he knew.
Let's be honest tho,he had talent to be top 3 great pg of all time,under rated passing skills and the way he handled and moved with the ball....but coaches never forced his hand to make him a better player....him scoring wuz filling up the seats and taking them to the playoffs....they didn't want the headache of trying to force him to be a better pg,so moved em to sg
...but then again they say great pg's are born and not made
Kobe,AI
when the gawd kobe leave its gon be another sad day....it feels great when your favorite player plays for the tea u root for
..but in 96 I wuznt watchin them in college so who knows who id take....but in 1999 id still trade Kobe for Iverson in a heartbeat....id look like a idiot a few years later
...but I don't doubt for a second we'd still have rings upon rings
..who coulda stopped prime ai and shaq on the same team
...gladd I'm not the boss when considering the long term tho
And another thing,that ain't the same nuggets team chauncey had
don't get me wrong chauncey wuz a better fit but cmon
