Ricky Davis didn't come out of highschool. He went to Iowa for a season.
-
Shaquille O'Neale was also one of those rookies who never (I think) experienced rookie hazing cause he was a big dude and acted as such. There was this story when a Scott Skiles told Shaq "Carry my bags rookie" and Shaq literally replied "I'm not a rookie, I'm the franchise". They left him alone after that. Pretty much sums up Diesel's career in the NBA.
-
I watched his rookie season. His teammates hated passing him the ball and his teammates were bums.
-
What made it more impressive is that he played his entire rookie season in what were essentially capris.
-
Seems like Big Z was the only starter teammate to actually embrace him as a rookie.
-
Young LBJ was a specimen, how almost forgot how athletic he was. The speed, strength and explosion is mesmerizing
-
Brought tears to my eyes to hear Bron went and got the doughnuts. He was ready to be someone's rook but they were intimidated.
-
Told people that lebron wasn’t only playing against opponents, he was playing against his teammates also, and that people were trying to sabotage this mans career for a long time
-
I have never seen an athlete gets so much hate like this guy. He didn’t robbed anyone never been involved in bad situations and yet he gets the most hate 😂 despite all that hate and jealousy he overachieved
-
The hype around Lebron before he made it to the league was crazy! I’ve never seen a player hyped that much before actually playing in pros. After 20 years it was All worth it. He lived to All expectations and beyond
-
Jealousy got no cure got no point . LEBRON deserves all his blessings
-
The moment Ricky Davis left the meeting and got traded was the moment future LeGM was born, Bron just didn't know that he already had it inside him that time.
-
Zydrunas & LeBron were always cool. They worked together very well & even complimented each other’s game.
-
Crazy to think that this man has been a transcendent talent in the NBA since I was 10 years old and is now playing my favorite team. I think about how much things have changed since 2003 both in general society and in my personal life. LeBron has been around for all of it, crazy!
-
Zion and Wemby have crazy potential, but 19yr old lebron was just something else man. Look at the speed, athleticism, and instincts he had at 6’8. We can only hope to see something like him again once he retires. And being that social media is so prevalent these days, we will know if another Lebron is on the rise by his sophomore year of high school.

Theres a story where the bulls loss and the team nonchalantly didnt care except Joakim Noah, who was crying and yelling in the locker room. Point is some players actually care about winning
-
The fact that LeBron James is still currently playing speaks volumes
-
I could cry right now… young bron was just unexplainably amazing.
-
Imagine the hype, intimidation, expectations and hatred as a rookie up to now and overcoming and defying all odds, I’m proud being Lebron’s fan since day 1.
-
They all had to deal with a 19yr old coming into the league already being compared all time greats without a single dribble. This rubbed a lot of veteran players who had pride and had to swallow that ego because before day 1 this was already the Bron show. With todays hype machine its tough to explain how much clout Bron had as a senior in HS.
