How To Watch NBA TV’s ‘Ready or Not: The 96 NBA Draft’ Documentary Live Online

The 1996 NBA Draft was, in a word, stacked. From Hall of Famers Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, Steve Nash, and Ray Allen to future NBA All-Stars like Stephon Marbury, Antoine Walker, Shareef Abdur-Rahim, and Jermaine O’Neal, the 1996 draft changed the shape of the NBA. Later tonight, NBA TV will premiere a two-part special, Ready or Not: The 96 NBA Draft, that commemorates one of the most impactful draft classes in NBA history.

Featuring rare pre-draft footage and interviews with more than 30 former NBA players (including Iverson, Nash, and Allen), the two-part documentary will center on Iverson’s highly-anticipated arrival, a new generation of multi-talented rookies, and the slew of memorable draft day trades.

WILL READY OR NOT: THE 96 NBA DRAFT BE ON NETFLIX OR HULU??

Nope, at least not in the near future. While the documentary could eventually find its way to Netflix or Hulu, it won’t be there anytime soon. Since NBA TV is operated by Turner Sports, the more likely scenario is HBO Max. TNT’s recent Inside the NBA documentary, The Inside Story, aired on TNT in March and debuted on HBO Max in April.
