Is Lebron James the best Rookie Ever? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Have you seen this guy play? He is great! I have heard some sports people say he might be the best Rookie ever. I don't know about that cause in my mind Michael Jordan is still #1.

He is by miles the best rookie ever to come out of highschool, but MJ averaged over 30 ppg his rookie year. I'd say he's probably 2nd best rookie in a long, long time.

If Cleveland doesn't make the playoffs, He wil not win rookie of the year.

I think him scoring 41 points just about wraps it up for him.

It's definitely gonna be close between him & Carmelo for rookie of the yr award cause they both have had major impacts on their teams & the league this yr. Monarc did u see Manu Ginobili dunk on Carlos Boozer & Zydrunas Ilgauskas last night? I don't think the Cavs are gonna make the playoffs. Even if they don't make the playoffs, i think Lebron will get rookie of the yr. I think Michael Jordan is the best rookie ever. Lebron is definitely the best rookie to come out of high school cause Tracy McGrady, Kobe, Kevin Garnett, Jermaine O Neal, Shawn Kemp didn't have major impacts on their teams when they first entered the NBA.

He should because he is leading his team to a playoff spot. Carmello and Lebron will be home when the playoffs start

Rookie of the year is about which rookie was the best player. Not the rookie who had the best supporting cast to take him to the playoffs. LeBron will definitely win it this year.

Since Miami was not a PLAYOFF TEAM last year, Wade Will defintely win. Remember Miami will be not only a playoff team but a 6th seed maybe 5th

if that is the case then CARMELLO should win one..he is the more polished player. Lebron thinks "shoot first"..

If that's the case, then Mello should be averaging more assists per game. But guess who is? (Note: Carmello Anthony would be an incorrect answer)

They also added Lamar Odom this year. Keep in mind the Heat are in the Eastern conference, too. Don't make it sound like Wade is "putting them over the top" or something, because that isn't the case.

LOL@Jekouptown thinkin that Carmelo doesn't have a shoot first mindset like Lebron. Carmelo jacks up as many shots as Lebron & they both have terrible field goal percentage. Carmelo is more of a ballhog than Lebron is. Lebron gets his teammates involved & he's never once complained about not getting the ball. Carmelo has already complained to his teammates in Detroit a few weeks ago when he felt like they weren't giving him the ball enough. Does Lebron lead all rookies in assists?
