All time rookie starting 5

[oarabbus]

Create the best team using only players in their rookie seasons. Doesn't matter their age, just that it was their first NBA season. Keep in mind there's only one ball to go around.

[GoranDragon]

Lillard
Jordan
Lebron
Davis
Duncan

[Akrazotile]

I would have to go with Darko and other guys that won rings as rookies. Winning is all that matters. Why not take guys with rings?

Rings man. It's all about rings.

[aj1987]

Lillard
Jordan
Lebron
Davis
Duncan
MJ
Magic
Oscar
Shaq
Wilt

Would destroy your team.

No. My team plays in a tougher era, we would eat your team alive.

Magic won a Finals MVP in his rookie year and you managed to keep him out of your line up. :applause:

I have Lebron on my team. Lebron needs the ball to run the team. Lillard is a scorer.

Lillard - scorer, clutch
Jordan - GOAT
Lebron - 2nd GOAT, prefer him over Magic to run the offense
Davis - walking 20/20
Duncan - GOAT PF

[Uncle Drew]

A scorer who averages only 1 ppg more? Uhuh. :facepalm

[oarabbus]

Magic
Tyreke Evans
LeBron
Duncan (was a PF initially)
Hakeem

[GoranDragon]

A scorer who averages only 1 ppg more? Uhuh. :facepalm
I DON'T need Magic when I have Lebron.:no:

Davis - walking 20/20
Duncan - GOAT PF
I screwed up. Took 2 PG's. Updated list:

Magic - Lillard? LOL!
MJ - Push
KG - Lebron is better, but prime KG is gonna give Lebron fits on defense
Shaq - Davis is gonna retire before the end of the game
Wilt - Definitely better than Duncan

Davis - Sorry he'll teach Orlando Shaq a lesson on defense and not choking
Duncan - GOAT rookie GOAT PF while Wilt is a choker

Rookies! We are talking rookies. This is the rookie all time starting 5.

That's why he chose Lillard (even though I wouldn't have) because Lillard had an AMAZING rookie season.

[GoranDragon]

I can't believe the amount of poster who didn't read the title and OP.

Rookie Shaq aka Orlando Shaq is a mental midget who couldn't get it done yet. Don't get me started Wilt too.:facepalm

[SHAQisGOAT]

Magic
Earl Monroe
Kirilenko (don't want it to be too stacked)
Bird
Hakeem or Duncan even though he played PF (I think Shaq would be too much considering the rest)

[LAZERUSS]

Erving and if it has to be NBA, Barry
Duncan
Wilt
Magic
Monroe

[christian1923]

Magic
Jordan
Melo
Duncan
Wilt

Yep... 37.6 ppg and 27.0 rpg.

[Marchesk]

Wilt's rookie season is GOAT level for a rookie. If you need Shaq or Hakeem, move them to PF.

Wilt won the MVP his rookie season. Over Bill Russell, Bob Petit, Bob Cousy and Elgin Baylor. He led the league in scoring and rebounding as a rookie. Case closed.

[GoranDragon]

Yep... 37.6 ppg and 27.0 rpg.
Ended career with 2 rings compared to his rival's 11. Right from his rookie year I KNEW he was nothing more than stats over winning.

I wouldn't take him on my team, prefer Duncan as center.

Then obviously I am dealing with someone that knows absolutely nothing about the game.

29-53 record to 61-21 team record impact > 17-65 record to 35-47 record

Bird > Lebron

Deal with it :oldlol:

[GOATbe]

Lebron had 25/9/6 of 12 for 20 shooting in his FIRST NBA game. No need to be upset guys, he's clearly the GOAT rookie.

[Milbuck]

Where's Giannis doe?

The Bucks haven't gone on their 1972 Lakers-esque winning streak yet. Once they do, he cracks the list. But as of right now I have to give Bird the nod.
