This is an Upper Deck Insert found in fan program on the night of the legendary 1996 NBA Draft.

June 26, 1996 at the Continental Airlines Arena at the Meadowlands in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Considered by many to be the greatest draft I’m not only NBA history but sports history.

High School Senior Kobe Bryant of Lower Merion High School selected #13 overall by Charlotte Hornets and TRADED that night and on site to the Los Angeles Lakers. The rest is history.

Allen Iverson of Georgetown the #1 overall pick to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Other NBA legends drafted that night include Steve Nash, Ray Allen, Stefon Marbury and more.

Truly historic moment of time.

This “Limited Edition” Upper Deck item was in the building.

*There is some yellowing from many years of storage and some kind of mark on back (pictured), but not available from front of item.
