1984 draft featured

The 1984 draft, featuring Michael Jordan as the No. 3 pick and three others who were voted among the league’s 50 greatest players, is the subject of the next NBA TV original film. “THE84DRAFT” debuts June 9. Narrated by Lakers guard Steve Nash, the program looks at some of the players in a class that is regarded as one of the strongest in league history. Hakeem Olajuwon was the No. 1 pick, the first player called by former commissioner David Stern in his first draft. Portland picked Sam Bowie, and Chicago grabbed the player who led them to six titles. Hall of Famers Charles Barkley and John Stockton also were in the class. – AP
