AI Would Pick Kobe Over Himself In The 1996 NBA Draft ๐Ÿ‘€ | @WillieDLive #shorts

Allen Iverson talks to Willie D and Scarface about what many consider to be the greatest draft in NBA history, the 1996 NBA Draft. Allen Iverson singles out Kobe and as humble as always, says that he would rather have taken Kobe over himself if he were the Philadelphia 76ers. I haven’t seen a single athlete ride as hard for his homies as AI did/does for Kobe. Much respect.

  1. Kobe had a terrible rookie season and if I was in the same position as those gm I wouldnโ€™t of pick him either

  2. Move said that he didn't want the Sixers to draft him. For that reason I didn't realize Kobe's greatness until l8r in his career. ๐ŸŽ‰

  3. I had that picture on my wall when it came out. From SLAM

    That was the greatest draft of all-time, then the 84-85 draft. When you got MJ and Hakeem the rest on the list dont even matter

  4. Jerry west knew how good Kobe was. He traded vlade divac which was a good center for the 13th pick which was Kobe. But dumb Del Harris didnโ€™t play him, thatโ€™s why he got fire.

  5. Damn. It's a shame how much alcohol has robbed AI and Steve Francis of their skills and their appearance. Both look like old ass drunken uncles of their former selves.

  6. No jerry west stamped kobe before he even stepped foot on a NBA floot 1ST game of summer league mr jerry west said wemby is just a bigger bill russell from my knowledge that was the last persosn he evaluated before he pass so im holding wemby accountable

  7. In order of all time points, the 1996 draft had Kobe, Ray Allen, Allen Iverson Steve Nash Stephon Marbury Antoine Walker Peja Stokakovic, Illgauskas, Marcus Camby, Eric Dampier, Kerry Kittles Malik Rose, Lorenzsn Wright, Shareef Rahim and more

  8. As a senior in high school he averaged 30-12-6 4 steals and 4 blocks
    Led his team to 31-3 and a chip
    He was player of the year for every major award and then to Brandy to the promโ€ฆ
    Everyone knew Kobe

  9. 96 definitely the deepest draft class ever
    MVPs: AI, Kobe, Nash
    All stars; Ray Allen, shareef Abdul rahim, Stephon Marbury, Big Z, Antoine walker, Peja, Jermaine Oโ€™Neil, and then you got Ben Wallace that goes undraftedโ€ฆ

  10. I said the same thing. People always say that weak shit about he wasn't a starter his first year. Wasn't better than them my ass bro. With all do respect to Jones and Vanexle
