Every NBA Star's Best Play As A Rookie!
Спорт
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
That may be the flashiest play of duncan's career

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

Nobody beats Iverson's best rookie play! 🔥
One of the best highlight videos I’ve ever seen
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.
Good Video 🔥
Young Chris Paul and Kyrie handles are really similar when you observer how fluid it looks . It makes me thing maybe Kyrie will become a point god(in terms of changing a franchise through iq and leadership) when he gets older and wiser.
I was at this game in Trae Young’s rookie season, it was against the bucks, and it was in overtime. John Collins went to the basket after a miss and tipped it to Trae, and Traetipped it in in midair. It was so crazy, it was a game winner
