7.3 assists and 7.7 assists in the same season... Dang

[Fracasso]

the disrespect shown to Larry Bird is outrageous

[melvynsngltn]

Wilt #2 are you crazy? Wilt had best Rookie Year ever. Also where the hell is Shaq. Shaq's Rookie was better than alot of people's best season

[kenbekilling]

Magic johnson at 5th best rookie didn't even win the rookie of the yr award. I wonder who won that, that yr? Oh... LARRY BIRD! Where is he on the list?

0:41 "He averaged 18 points, 7.3 assists, and 7.7 assists per game" I found a mistake!

I feel that there has been quite a bit lebron click bait. Put him in the thumbnail of this video when he's not on the list, put him on the top ten all time thumbnail when he's not ranked there either and solo on the top ten sf thumbnail when he's not first or second.

Larry Bird? He won rookie of the year in 79

[segundosTV]

Wilt at second, the MJ bias is real... Wilt, Bellamy, Oscar and Kareem all had better rookie seasons than him

Edit: Also, you mentioned every player to average 20-5-5 during their rookie season except one... Tyreke Evans, now sure he didn't deliver on the promise of his rookie season but only 4 guys have ever accomplished this, surely mention worthy

I could have as many kids as Angelina Jolie between video posts on this channel

[bastawa]

The best voice on the YouTube. Thumb ups for
MJ

Magic Johnson is the top rookie of all time. He lead his team a championship his rookie season, (something that hasn't been repeated), played all five positions, was nominated for rookie of the year, league MVP, finals MVP, single handedly made basketball fun to watch and had just come off of a NCAA finals win. No one has topped that!

[devinlaster]

Magic should've been 1. Like really Willie

[spikeymax]

Don't you hate when you are so early but no one notices your comment anyway?

[junaidshahzad]

0:37 technically James Worthy was the "final piece" for that team but I get what you mean

[ababdullah]

Tim Duncan should be here. He was all NBA first team as a rookie.

[BlackhawkGamer-yxqx]

Accurate list: 1. Magic (won finals MVP as a rookie, hop off mjs nuts) 2. Wilt 3. Tim Duncan (21 And 12 plus finished 3rd in MVP voting) 4. LeBron, he averaged over 20ppg at 18-19 years old in the NBA, that's phenomenal. 5. Kareem/Shaq both were incredibly impressive their first years, I would probably give the edge to Kareem tho

[ChowDownDetroit]

Magic should be No.1 on this list since he won the championship because of his rookie season.
