like rookie Lebron, rookie Jordan, or 02' Jordan - all three were beginning the organic journey and should be commended for successfully completing the first step... :applause:...
Bird is obviously an exception because he won 61 games in his first year - this is the goat turnaround but Bird had numerous veteran HOF teammates.. David Robinson also did well as a rookie but he was joined by veteran Cummings that year too.
The larger point is that there's levels to this shit - no one carried "bums" (a 20-win team) to the title in Year 1 - everyone needed several years to develop that team into a contender and then champion.. So let's lay off rookie Lebron, rookie Jordan, or Wizards Jordan because they all did very well.. And stop saying Lebron's early playoff teams were bums because they were infact veteran high seeds and among the best teams in the conference, including the theft of their opponents' sidekick to win their first round series (Lebron stole (https://i.makeagif.com/media/10-15-2021/LIlDOj.gif) Hughes from Arenas).
