The Greatest Rookie Season In NBA History 

3.5 BPG in this 3pt era is like 7 BPG in 90s era

Wemby is also much much younger as a rookie compared to Shaq, Robinson, Duncan, Olajuwon etc while also doing those below 30mins...

Why Wemby is your 2024 DPOY: - Leads the league in blocks (by far) - Leads the league in stocks (by far) - #2 in steals league-wise in February… - Spurs defense is elite (#5) with him on the floor. Could have been higher had he played center full season… - Spurs defense is DEAD LAST when he’s off the floor. Not only dead last but also historically bad defensively. Competing for the “worst defensive team ever” title when he’s off the court. - Only player with 10 blocks in a game this season. - Only player with back to back 5steals 5blocks games since MJ. - And the number of shots the opposing team does not take because he’s there is probably his biggest argument that does not show up in the stat sheet. - Opposing teams are setting high screens, double screens, re-screens, just to make sure he’s out of the paint… for a rookie… That’s how impactful he is. He is the DPOY and it’s not even close. By - @Peroriperora

He did all that on minutes restriction.

Wilt Chamberlain had the best rookie season ever. He was also MVP that year.

Y’all rock! Felt like a very chill conversation with a friend. Good video guys. Subscribed

Great video, guys. I think he deserves ROY & DPOY this year.

Alright cool but the 12 game stretch for the Admiral in 1994 is freaking insane!

Jordan…. 28/6/6 with 2 steals and 1 block a game… The GOAT

He might win 3 Defensive Player of the Year awards before he turns 21!

In the past, americans see playing in europe a disavantage in comparisson to anything happening to rookies in USA. Now they talk of playing in europe as a way to say "oh well, he is not really a rookie" and again playing in europe became a disavantage in the other way around.

I got the general ad featuring Shaq before this video😂😂😂

Best rookie season by all metrics taken into account was by the Admiral, David Robinson

With an asterisks

And this video was made before he just dropped a 40-20 game 😭 and just against GSW had a 32-9 and 4 steals 3 blocks game it’s crazy

Blocks were not recorded when Wilt and Kareem were rookies.

How was Paolo not in this he had a crazy rookie year last year too

Winning finals MVP as a rookie won’t be topped. Magic will always have the best rookie season.

Bro quoted foot on the line

SATX in the house! Go Spurs Go

It would be great to see Tacko Fall and Wemby to play against each other.

There's been better rookies before, but at 20 years old I don't think there's been a better first-year player to come into the league at his age.

🌌🛸👽🌎🏀😯😳😲🇫🇷 I think Lebron Shaq MJ Larry Magic n' Kareem were more impactful as rookies but for sure Victor belongs to their Galaxy ! Top 10 all time !

Duncan. It’s Tim Duncan

Wemby is the NBA’s Messi

It's all about team wins. The Spurs aren't winning that much. But Webby is definitely a great player.

I’ll take Larry Joe Bird as the best post merger rookie. Pre-merger it’s gotta be Wilt

Luka Doncic 21.2 - 7.8 - 6.0

you forgot about Tim Duncan?

Wilt scored 38 pts a game his rookie season.

i love wetbananas

Wilt...end of discussion

My question is: Has anyone who have put up comparable numbers done it on such an awful team? And that's not me saying he's doing this in spite of his team, but perhaps because of.

Best, no. Great? Yes

You got to be joking. Fucking wes Unseld won the MVP his rookie season. Damn you guys seriously need to get your shit together. Great season.. sure.. Best ever? Give me a break.. his teams won like 12 games.

with all of those stats but his team only won 15 games? even ben simmons had a better impact for 76ers on his rookie season

Completely disregarding Wilt! He had the best ever rookie season, winning the ROTY and MVP at the same time. Had blocks and steals were recorded back then' he would've had the numbers. Still, as a rookie, Chamberlain averaged 37.6 points and 27.0 rebounds, More than anyone before or after hime, and actually, nobody else, rookie or not ever had or came close to those numbers.

wilt had 37.6 ppg with 27 rpg, won mvp as rookie

L ad

Magic won a chip..Finals MVP

kinda plagiarizing Legend of Winning, no?

Spurs have an even worse record with the "greatest rookie in history" than the previous year without him. Yesterday they won against the Suns... when Wembi didn't play. Chet being a key piece in the best team in the west being completely ignored. Wembi has fantastic potential, but the marketing hype strikes hard on this one.

Wemby is nowhere NEAR the best, or approaching top 1o, rookie season ever!! First off, you cannot count raw #s between eras. When the rules & enforcement are so lax for offense, the counting stats are meaningless to judge for good anyone is between eras! Next, it is not a discerning way to evaluate how good anyone is just to pile up stats. Any scien-terrific measure of efficiency & how productive anyone is MUST measure not only turnovers but shooting %. looking at MEANINGFUL measures of total accomplishments: Value Over Replacement Player & WIn Shares-& you want to adjust for limited playing time? WS per 48! Box +/- & impact measures: sabermetrics stats. So Win Shares per 48? .076. This is several TIMES less actual contributions to wins as the very best guys, who approach & top .300. LeBron also did not have a superb rookie year: but if Wemby can be as dramatically improved next year as James was as a sophomore, then he that will mean a lot. He is having a GOOD year: for a rookie. An excellent year for anyone on something that adds value but not nearly as much as offense: his defense.

Spurs has 15 wins this season lol. Spurs have more wins last year without wemby. This guy being hyped too much this season

Magic won a chip lol. Mvp of finals

17 wins lol. Jabar team went from 17 wins to 58 wins. 3rd in the east. Grow up.
