Giannis Antetokounmpo didn’t always look like a Greek god. Stephen Curry used to be even more baby-faced than he is now. James Harden’s beard wasn’t always so magnificent. Today, we take a look back at NBA superstars when they were first-year novices, long before they solidified their respective places among the all-time greats. We are going to see why these future stars showed so much promise at such a young age. This is, Every NBA Star’s Best Play As A Rookie!

He had them till tore his meniscus in 2000. Dude was athletic as all hell. Spent the rest of his career with a knee brace managing the load he was putting on that leg, though tbh, robbing some of his athleticism and making him jump less probably made his career longer. The biggest key to a long NBA career without injuries is honestly to jump less - Jokic will stay in the NBA for a long time

@efisgpr 3 года назад

Yeah MJ recovered really well but he is 6'6" and AI I definitely under 5'11" (6' and met him..MAYBE 5'10") So, it was a huge announcement to the world that he was 100% unguardable just to get that off on MJ, the DPOY. And AI's teardrop also got better and better. Just amazing.

The Answer changed the way kids like me played the game of basketball. We started going for hard "bait" crossovers, hanging the ball out there until that moment the defender gets on his heels, then jamming it to the other hand and flying by him. That move crossing up Jordan... everybody in the building, and at home tuned in, knew about the build up to that game. MJ's the g.o.a.t., AI's the new hotness, the young phenom... I still remember how much that matchup was talked about... Watch it again, everyone on the court except for the big men down low stopped to watch what Iverson / Jordan would do. It was that big a deal, and Iverson proved he wasn't all hype. After he had Mike going the wrong way on that play, they started calling "carrying" on his hard cross. If you watch how he does it, his hand never dips below the ball, his shoulder moves make it look that way. lol come in the league, cross up it's best player, they immediately find something wrong with how you play lmao

@blovett0814 3 года назад

Gotta love Jason Kidd, for no particular reason, doing a double clutch mid-air on the 3 pointer at the buzzer. Not a double pump on the shot to shake the defender as is typical for jumper mind you, but an in air double clutch. Style points do count, and I guess he figured why should they be reserved only for dunks. I forgot how funky his shot was early in his NBA career, as it got much better later.

What I learned... 1. Giannis looked like Gumby from Year 1. He's now a muscular Gumby. 2. James Harden looked for fouls from Year 1. Right after the dunk he holds up 3 fingers like, "And 1?" 3. Tim Duncan banked everything...even dunks. 4. DRose is this generation's Grant Hill...we got robbed as fans due to injuries. 5. Dame had game winners from Year 1. 6. Vince had the dunks from Year 1. 7. Carmelo Anthony is this generation's Alex English. In 20 years, we'll need to be reminded he was good. 8. Wade mastered the stylish fall down/roll into a sitting like a badass as a rookie. 9. Jokic had jokes from Year 1. Just clowning people. (Side Note: Kenneth Faried's career died as soon as big men were required to have range.) 10. Steph had the tricks from Year 1. 11. Year 1 LeBron looks like a skinnier Year 17 LeBron. Hairline was receding even in Year 1.
