Who is your favorite Rookie of the Year award winner?

I have to go with '97 ROY winner Tim Duncan

Close second: Larry Johnson ('91)

Share your favorite :D

I wonder if blackmambaexquisite is still working on his roy auto photo. He was getting all the roy winners to sign a photo of the trophy.

Definitely Tim Duncan. He is one of the two players (along with Kobe Bryant) that I have been watching since their respective rookie years and feel connected with.

[hquiz]

so many great ones.. Bird in '79, MJ in '84, Ewing '85, DRob '89, Shaq '92, CWebb '93...

[Vizap]

Tim Duncan!!

[CubKings]

Shaq and AI.

[skycat]

Vince Carter. His Rookie Year was awesome. Some of the craziest dunks I ve ever seen!
Love the Duncan, MJ, Lebron, Durant, Rose too!

[TBarn291]

Shaq all the way!

[ExAreSee]

Patrick Ewing #GOAT

[No 1]

Duncan & Iverson

[smalltown]

Damon Stoudamire '96

[asujbl]

The answer is obviously Damon Stoudamire.

Because I had some redemption card in 96 - I don't even remember what brand - where if Stoudamire won ROY I got prizes. It was a long shot and then he won it.

The prize probably sucked - but it was a big deal at the time - remember how big those "Predictor" cards were?

[chocsports2000]

Iverson. Remember when he went off at about this point in the season? Dropped 40+ in 5 straight games, including 2 50+ point games, hit a game winner, and crossed up MJ for good measure?

[xavieronly1]

Tim Duncan. 4 year college, a true winner, a team player, all-star, All-NBA 1st team, Defense 2nd team.

Mike Miller

Pau Gasol FTW! However, Ewing wasn't born in the USA but is considered American.

Shaquille, and jordan, had basketball competing with baseball for Americas past time.

Wrong NBA era sonny boy. Finals were on delay in the late 70's.

Greatest outlet pass. EVER!!!

Yes.... Yes, YES! (Jim Carey voice)

I remember this class very well, even with Glen Robinson, and was such an exciting time. Even card wise... I chose Carter and Francis for the same reasons, very exciting, but also because it changed the card game with first ever numbered rookie cards, and autographed/numbered rookie cards.

[Beavers98]

Tough Choice....Timmy D is great.. Shaq. Kidd/Hill are there too

[XARZY]

Same with Timmay! being born in the Virgin Islands:)!

Last time I checked US VIRGIN ISLANDS are part of the US

[NickM]

Not the greatest stats ever from a ROY, but not too bad either.
28.8 PPG, 14.5 RPG, 4.1 APG
Career ended up OK too.
6 championships, 6 MVP Awards.
You should know who without seeing the name.

Agreed for all the reasons you just pointed out. I like guys who just do their job and don't make too many waves.
