Will we ever see a rookie/soph more impactful than Shaq or Lebron's 1st-2nd year?

[Mr Feeny]

Google Larry Bird.

Google Larry Bird.

True, however Bird was already a 23yo coming out of his 4th year in college

Tim Duncan

As Feeny said, Bird

'79 Celtics: 29 wins
Rookie year: 61 wins
2nd year: 62 wins and the chip

Kareem

'69 Bucks: 27 wins
Rookie year: 56 wins
2nd year: 66 wins and the chip

Hakeem deserves mention too

'84 Rockets: 29 wins
Rookie year: 48 wins
2nd year: 51 wins and the Finals

Tim Duncan

Tbf though, Robinson won 59 games with the Spurs in '96 before his injury. Duncan won 56 his rookie year with Robinson

Ah yes, I forgot about Hakeem.
What a beast he was.

Hi Wheels. Why you always trying to prop up LeBron, who has cemented his legacy as being a glorified loser?

Good choices as well.

Seems to be a common trend that consensus Top 10 players come out the gate like Little Caesars. Hot and ready

This 100%

Also Wilt the Stilt 37 PPG and 27 RPG as a rook.

Dude......you're on here 24/7 and never provide a lick of intelligent basketball content. You're infatuated with a dude who you think is in a wheelchair and post about him multiple times daily on a basketball message board.

Let that sink in before calling others retards.

If Kareem wasn't on that team, then sure you could cite Magic's rookie year. But it was Kareem who was carrying the scoring and rebounding load up until he injured his ankle in the Finals.

He had a Kareem who was on the back-end of his prime. Nixon. That wasnt a bad team. Of course, Magic catapulted them to the next level.
