The class of 96 has a couple of all star players in their first 2 years in the league. We have yet to see a couple of the class of03 be all stars. So i would say the Class of 96 is better... not by much but still better...

Well the class of 96 has some great players and potential hall of famers. And also 1996 they have great leadership in all of those players and veteran play. But the 2003 class has players you would want to build your team around with stars like Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Josh Howard and Carmelo Anthony. I would give the advantage to the 96 class by a little bit but I wouldn't be surprised if the 2003 class ends up being better than the 96 draft class in their careers.

Gotta go with 1996 because we still havent see the full potential of the 2003 class. The 1996 class has had 10 years to prove themselves while the 2003 class has had 3. I say when the 2003 class has reached that 10 year mark they will have surpassed the 1996, but until then, flops, injuries, and just bad moves can still screw the 2003 class.

Its close but im going to have to take 1996, there is much more depth and players that have proven their talent already. 2003 around 4 great players while 1996 has around 7. In the future i think 2003 might take it, but as of now 1996 has it.

yea 2003 is slightly better skill wise. you built teams around bosh and lebron. and its only be 3 years where as kobe and nash and oneil to get their respected spots. if you play them head to head i would take 1996 cause they got the experience but 2003 has showed alot of promise. and dont forget the biggest star of 2003 darko has a ring as well lol.

I'd take D-Wade and LeBron before Kobe A.I. or any of those guys
I think 03 has the most promising
