So the NBA draft has also produced some interesting records. Let's take a look.
Speaking of the oldest rookie in the NBA, Puri Ghioni, who has played in the NBA for five seasons, has to mention it. If Kobe became a rookie in 1996, then Puri Ghioni, who is one year older than Kobe, only landed in the NBA in 20 12. That year, at the age of 35, he set a record for the oldest rookie in the NBA.
Because Laopu played in the Rockets for a year, he is well known by domestic fans. Calm ball style and team supremacy are the biggest values that this senior rookie has left on the court. Prior to this, Laopu was already famous in the European League and was a famous "old gun" on the court.
The year after Kobe retired, Laopu also announced his retirement, and has been an assistant coach in the Timberwolves ever since.
Speaking of the oldest rookie, of course, we should also talk about the youngest rookie, that is, Bynum, who was once the "No.1 center in the West" and was known as "washing, cutting and blowing". He entered the NBA directly from a high school student. He was selected by the Lakers in 17 10 months, almost half the age of the old Pujin League.
At his peak, Bynum was close to 19+ 12+2 and won two championships as the starting center of the Lakers. During the Lakers period, Kobe was called a "loser", but after leaving Kobe as the boss, no one began to sink.
Bynum, who is about the same age as the United Arab League and Curry, gradually disappeared after playing in the league for less than ten years. Mainly because of its immature mind, lack of self-motivation, coupled with the impact of injuries. Outside the court, Bynum has many topics, the most funny of which is his changeable hairstyle.
When it comes to the highest salary, you may think of the number one rookie. In the past two years, NBA salaries have increased year by year. However, even though Pang Hu and Edwards are hot, the salary of the rookie does not exceed10 million.
However, Bogdanovic of the Eagle signed a three-year 36 million contract with the King in the NBA rookie season, setting the most expensive rookie contract in NBA history.
In 20 14, the 27th pick in the first round was selected by the Sun, and he officially landed in the NBA in 20 17. At the beginning, who would have thought that a rookie at the bottom of the first round could actually get the highest rookie salary in NBA history, and star Mo Wen was born.
Recently, Japanese draft champion Takeo Watanabe got a guarantee contract from Raptors through his own efforts. Together with the Wizards Lotto Show Eight Villages Base, it ushered in the brilliant moment of Japanese players in the NBA.
Before that, there was actually a record for Japanese players, which was the highest rookie record selected by NBA teams. Generally speaking, the tallest players in the NBA are nothing more than 2.3 1m Bohr, 2.24m Eton and now often mentioned 2.24m Bo Ban. In fact, the highest record is 2.34m of Japanese player Okayama Gongchong.
Gongchong Okayama, who plays in NCAA, 198 1 was selected by the Warriors. At that time, the NBA had an almost paranoid pursuit of big men, and it was not surprising that he was selected. But in the end, for various reasons, he only participated in the training of the Warriors and did not formally sign a contract with the team. In any case, the Warriors made Okayama Gonggong leave this record in NBA history.
If the ancient gods Chamberlain and Ansel De won the regular season MVP in the rookie season, then Magic Johnson is the real rookie and peak. He won the finals MVP in the rookie season.
1979, the magician entered the NBA as the No.1 scholar, and went from point guard to power forward in the rookie season. Finally, he became famous as a center in the finals because of Jabbar's injury, with 42 points 15 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals, becoming the first person in NBA history to win the finals MVP in the rookie season, and no one has broken it so far.
Magic also has a brilliant career. He has been the first point guard for a long time in the all-time best team.
