The best NBA draft ever.

That’s how most view the 1984 class that included Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, John Stockton and Charles Barkley. But was it?

What about the 1996 draft that produced four guards who put their definitive stamp on the Association (Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, Steve Nash and Ray Allen)? What matters more; that the top picks lived up to the hype, or that another draft had more gems later in the rounds?

The 2011 NBA Draft may not seem like it has the star power of past years, but one day in the future we may look back and see it ranked amongst the all-time classes.

Maybe Kyrie Irving becomes another Isiah. Maybe there’s another Karl Malone. Did anyone think Manu would blossom so late?

But it’s too early for that. Until then, we can only look back on the drafts that have produced players that have already had an impact. Sometimes a big and historical impact.

See which draft classes are among the all-time greatest. Which players were selected in the same year, and blossomed into Hall of Famers. Which class should be ranked, higher or lower, and what year do you think belongs on the list.
