Reese, Kmac and Alex discuss whether the 2026 NBA Draft is the most talented class since 1984, and revisit one of the greatest "what if" debates in basketball history: would you take Michael Jordan over Hakeem Olajuwon in a redraft of the legendary 1984 NBA Draft? Plus, in an all-time NBA redraft, is there any player who should be selected ahead of Jordan?

The 2026 NBA Draft will take place across the next two days with the first round tomorrow night, June 23 and the second round on June 24. Both nights are scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ET at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. This draft is deep and seems to be star-studded with names like AJ Dybantsa, Cam Boozer and Caleb Wilson to name a few. Is this the best draft since 1984? If we did a redraft of the 1984 Draft, would you still take Hakeem Olajuwon over Michael Jordan? In an all-time redraft, is there any player you would draft over Jordan?
