The 1996 NBA Draft class will go down as debatably one of the greatest in league history amongst many basketball fans across the world featuring Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant and recent Hall-Ff-Famer Steve Nash.

On Tuesday night, the NBAonTNT broadcasted a special program dedicated to Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna and the seven other victims involved in the tragic accident on Sunday in California. Nash reflects on his relationship with Kobe.


Steve Nash spent some time as a Lakers rival playing against Bryant three times in the playoffs, and later joining the Lakers as Kobe's teammate. 


The two shared a rollercoaster of emotions but in the end, it all boiled down to nothing but love and respect for each other.
