How many Rookie of the Years ended up or will end up not being the best in his class?

Pau Gasol < Tony Parker
Vince Carter < Dirk Nowitzsky
Patrick Ewing < Karl Malone

Never in the world has Tony Parker become a better player than Pau Gasol.

i stopped believing in the award when lebron robbed carmelo in 2004




scratch that... i never believed in the award...

a player in a bad situation usually wins over a guy who is forced to work his way up while winning



its the best of the worst situation award.. big deal

You'd be singing a different tune if Kobe had won it.

My list from starting from 2000 with who i think will end up being the best player from that draft:


Mike Miller (2000) < Kenyon Martin
Amare Stoudemire (2002) < Yao Ming
Emeka Okafor (2004) < Dwight Howard
Brandon Roy (2006) < LaMarcus Aldridge
Derrick Rose (2008) < Russell Westbrook
Tyreke Evans (2009) < 1a. Steph Curry 1b. James Harden
Damian Lillard (2012) < Anthony Davis
Michael Carter Williams (2013) < Giannis Antetokounmpo

You spelled Rudy Gobert wrong.

You spelled Rudy Gobert wrong.

No he didn't. Giannis is going to be a better player than Gobert when it's all said and done.

Pau Gasol < Tony Parker
Vince Carter < Dirk Nowitzsky
Patrick Ewing < Karl Malone

Pau has had a better career than Tony imo
