do you know what Duncan, Shaq, Bird, Magic, Drob did as rookies?
Magic dropped 42, 15, 7 game 6 finals with no Kareem to win the title
Bird, Shaq, Drob all had 20+ win turnarounds for their teams
I'm talking basic regular season numbers brodie small sample size but it's not a stretch. Zion played 23 games and was in and out of the roster. You are evaluating full seasons to compare to.
Whatever COMPARABLE sample size you wanna use, Zion was just as good or better than all of them you mentioned. Offensively of course.
D Rob was 24 and a member of the NBA for 2-3 years before playing his first game wasn't he
Bird is fair. I was meaning more like since Jordan which would include Shaq, Iverson, Duncan, Bron, Durant, Blake, ect.
nikka the list of rookies to average 20ppg since Jordan is slim as fukk and the only nikkas that didn't end up great players was Elton Brand, Tyreke Evans???????
Damn near every rookie to average 20ppg since Mike is a first ballot Hall Of Famer but a nikka who averaged 24pog in 28mpg as a rook is somehow less impressive than all of them.
.
We are also talking nikkas like Melo Blake Wade.
Zion was a lot better than all them nikkas
. Like, a whole lot. In his small sample size
