I think weakest might be 05-06:
Other than CP3, Aldridge and Deron Williams (s/o B Roy too), you had Bogut, Felton, Webster, McCants, Bargnani, Adam Morrison, Tyrus Thomas all high picks.

Never see black dudes coming on air with nappy thin hair like this. Maybe there is hope for me after all!

Either the kobe duncan or the mj and Hakeem. Just judging by only those 2 classes had top 10 players of all time. Lebron and wade is arguable but the rest of the class is lacking even though melo and dwight had huge potential it didn’t pan out for them the best it could’ve.

That 96/97(faster, better shooters) vs 84/85(bigger, post players). I’m takin Kobe squad but MJ got beasts with him.

the downside of 03-04 is they join forces to dominate the league.
imagine tmac,duncan,nash,kobe on one team.

I hate this class narrative nowadays as if there are more than 5 All star caliber players per draft. 96 and 84 are the only class worth talking about so stop it

The a.c must be pumping out that cold air
An assumed wife beater under the button up
Said button up
A sweater
A pullover
And a jean jacket
But the head is losing some hairs so I guess that’s why he’s cold..

Isn’t the 03-04 class kind of skewed? Many of the best players from that class are from 2003 and are most likely future hall of famers. But most of 2004 players were role players.
