I would have added Rick Barry there. 34.7 ppg and led the Warriors to the finals, where he averaged 40 ppg and scored 55 points in one of those games. At 23 years old.
no one stopping you from making your own video…
@Lil Durk but he didn’t bozo so we will never know
1:36 David Robinson led the Spurs to, what was at the time, the greatest turnaround season in NBA history. Just like what Steve Nash was able to do with the Suns, it is amazing how one player can turnaround a losing franchise in only one season.
Jason Kidd with the Nets. He took them from a 26 win team to 52 wins and a finals appearance in his first year.
@@henny6566 same with the sun's that's literally what cp3 did last year
@@maliksims4215 While yes Paul did turn the team around , Kidd didn't come close to playing with another star like Booker. Dude is a legit MVp candidate. The leading scorer on that Nets team was Kenyon Martin with 14.9ppg. Kidd literally took a bunch of good college players to back to back finals.
@@henny6566 oh yea you got a point I didn't even realize that
th-cam.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/w-d-xo.html
D rose definitely a great debut against the Celtics and possibly the greatest playoff round of all time too
Tied for 2nd most points in his playoffs debut.
It's just shows that the results wasn't legits. It's all about the story.. example Rose faced harder competition compared to Young and Luca. Young ranks higher but Luca faced harder competition more like that.
Jordan and Pippen Facing Barkley
Is not as impressive when Lebron Faced ,4 all-star GSW.

Trae’s first playoffs last year was electric. It set the stage for the success he would have this year in the playoffs. No one expected the hawks to even sniff the playoffs let alone make it to the ECF after the start that they had. And I don’t think much needs to be said about Booker. We all knew he was a superstar and we knew he would perform in the playoffs and he did that by far.
Trae shot 41% FG & 31% 3P in the playoffs & was hot garbage in elimination games. Not to mention the Hawks had their biggest margin of victory in the game he was out. People give him way too much credit for the Hawks success.

@@dmking26 yea but that efficiency drop comes from a combo of playoff defense being a lot better and he basically is the whole engine of that offense. Everything runs through him and he won against the 4 and 1 seed and took the champs to 6 games. Also had a PER of 21 and a ts% 55, those aren’t crazy stats but makes the 41/31 split look a lot better. Overall very impressive he could beat teams when his team was less talented (Knicks not so much but u get the point lol)
Lmao when Andy started talking about Paul Pierce, a Pampers ad popped up for me, what a timing 😂 if you know you know
😂😂😂
You forgot the two rookie studs of 2018: Donovan Mitchell and Jayson Tatum. Both young rooks leading their teams to deep playoff runs
True but individually they didn't put up great numbers, their teams were just well-rounded
th-cam.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/w-d-xo.html
Spida had an awful debut tho.
He has 2 good playoffs in his career and both are his recent ones all hos early playoff series he sucked
@@silverfang4583 Didn't watch him destroy the Thunder huh.
Tatum was unbelievable.
Donovan Mitchell's 2018 playoff run is underrated. Took down Russ, PG, and Melo as a rookie.
Yes this the one
Oh definitely for sure , that was one helluva a run
Thunder took themselves down more than anything
Ok this sounds a lot like hating, Donovan was amazing in that series I ain't denying that
@@bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee glad you came back to correct that
Is it just me or young stars in this era are so confident compared to their counterpart years ago?
As someone who has watched since the 80s, I agree with you. Young players are given both the opportunity AND the green light in ways that weren’t available as often before with old school coaches. Only the “greats” back then (for the young players) even had a chance of express themselves.
yes, and young stars today were given the key to lead the team almost on their sophomore year. In older era, veteran or even coaches would not let that happen
@@sirbradfordofhousejones It's like that in all of sports now. QB's had to sit for 2 or 3 years and learn the offense before they got the starting job. Now rookie QB's are thrown in there right away. Baseball players had to sit in the minors for 4 or 5 years to develop. Now they're called up at like 19 and 20 and put right in the starting lineup.
As part of the generation I’d say this, if we are confident enough to do silly dance on TikTok then we’d sure be confident enough in play-off
2018 to present, we started getting confident rookies again. Wouldn't give credit to the whole era tho
"If Allen Iverson is the Answer then Paul Pierce is the truth. I still remember PP's playoff debut against Philly. Good times.
I love when NBA players go insanely good in their first playoff game

Can we just apreciate andy make this amazing content for us. If you see this Andy you the real MVP and keep making bangers as we speak
Realtalk 💯💪🤞🏼 cuz dawg I would be losted without dem 😂💯🤞🏼💪
Andy been holding it down on TH-cam for me since 2016. Once I see a new video out, I watch right away.
I appreciate by watching, liking and sharing.

I think another playoff debut u can have is D rose. In His first ever playoff game as a rookie I believe had 36 points which is tied with wilt for the 2nd most points in a Game 1 debut. And also the Bulls took the Celtics to 7 games
I was hoping someone said d rose it was a great series but ray going for like 50 something in games all off screen. We had Ben Gordon Kirk hirinch and a young jokim Noah
Yeah but the main guy wasn’t even d rose but another player who kept the bulls in the series
I'm glad someone pointed this out. As a bulls fan I remember that series vs the Celtics like it was yesterday. I just wish they could've pulled off the upset and got to the second round.
@@VincentVincent_89 Ben Gordon played really well, but Drose was the leader in that Bulls team
@@bf6639 he was definitely not the leader it was Ben Gordon hitting game winners to keep them in the series and it was Ben who averaged more EVERYTHING then d rose
Trae was absolutely filthy last year, it's just outrageous how calm and fluid he was in his first series too. He looks like such a normal guy out there compared to those freakish giants he's around, yet he was dropping 30+ basically every game like it's nothing
No Tatum, D Mitch or D Rose is surprising
Appreciate the vids Andy. Life’s been a rough stretch and the vids have helped me wind down sometimes. Your videos have a great pace and super chill. Keep up the good work.
Pierce made the ECF in his first playoff run with guys like Walter McCarthy... I didn't know that was his first run, good stuff Andy
Yet everyone clowns him like he was some kind of role player. People dont know how good he was. Definitely belongs to the top 75 players. Very good player, lethal scorer, and accomplished baller. Dont know why a lot of people still think he should not be in the 75.
@@brenttenorio9265some people just don't understand The Truth...
Antoine Walker no. 8 should raise into the rafter.
@@brenttenorio9265Because most so called NBA fans way too young or just Fairweather fans just wanna hate. HES THE truth for a reason
For sure Luka Doncic’s 2020 playoff debut was just unbelievable, and even hitting a game winner no less , which is just absolutely insane
th-cam.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/w-d-xo.html
I already can tell this video is about to be a banger
I think Donavan Mitchell gets a honorable mention. He was a rookie and singlehandedly knocked off PG & Westbrook Thunder 4-2. He broke Jordan record as most points by a SG in first two playoff games averaging 28 for the series, also 3rd most points by a rookie in their first 6 games behind Kareem and Wilt.
Luka was amazing!! And these playoffs are starting to separate itself from others!! Lots of surprises already and only going to get better from here on out!!
th-cam.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/w-d-xo.html
Young as he was, Luka was also a Euroleague MVP
Luka already proved he could play under pressure in the Euroleague, but his performance against LA was still impressive nonetheless
Lol at Young with his back turned in the thumbnail
Paul pierce is a legend and Boston fans will forever love him for all the great memories.
Luka was playing against grown men in Europe before NBA. So it wasn't something 100% new for him. But he was still amazing. ^^
I love your Video from Philippines
D Rose deserved an honorable mention imo
Facts
You forgot ben simmons.. oh wait. Nvmd lolol great video. It could have been much longer with more people but still a really good idea for a video.
Honorable Mention: Donovan Mitchell
Dude was a rookie back in 2018 and unexpectedly was the star to a Jazz team that most didn't expect to be in the playoffs. He dismantled an OKC team led by a "big 3" then tried to push the Rockets to 5 games. Along the way, he was performing at god level for a rookie
Derrick rose & Donovan Mitchell should be on pt.2
Great video and thank you for the Trae young respect!
Damn no dame lillard
Another good one. As much as I don't care for Dame, his 2014 playoff debut was nice.
I really like your videos mr Andy, I wish you will notice me and continue to upload great videos like this Godbless
People don't talk enough how amazing Booker's Game debut was 34-7-8 against a fully healthy reigning champ team it's trully impresive. Glad to see somebody that finally gives him the recognition he deserve.
Do a worst playoff preformers video
Part 2 sir andy hoops, timmy, d wade, and etc.
I had some nephew try and tell me that Chris Paul is better than Magic Johnson "in pure basketball ability." smh If Magic played today he would have broken the internet.
D rose in 2008 playoffs? You should include him andy.
Ty
Dude you forgot 2009 Derrick rose vs Boston Celtics smh
Now obviously I’m biased as I live 10 minutes from Jayson Tatums childhood house and am a huge fan, but I feel like taking a dominant Lebron to game seven after losing the first 2 options is pretty impressive but not over any of these players just in a addition to them
I swear people forget Kareem need to be in the GOAT conversation. Dominant.
always your #1 fan in the Philippines Andy! please notice me
1:04 Well I mean he played with adults when he's a teenager and winning a championship in Euroleague
Anthony Edwards first playoff game drops 36 points vs grizzle’s in game 1
Been a silent viewer for yrs, i suggest you go back to “what happened to X players career or how good was X player”
why
Jayson Tatum came close to beating a Kareem rookie playoff record (20pt games maybe?) for the 2018 Hospital Celtics and postered LeBron in game 7 of the ecf
Nah magic winning finals mvp as a rookie is actually crazy
Raptors fan chiming in here...I think, before getting his ankle stepped on by 300lbs of Joel Embiid, we were about to see something special from Scottie Barnes. It was just one game, but he was motoring through an otherwise underwhelming game.
How did Jayson Tatum rookie year playoff appearance not make it? He went to game 7 of a ECF & almost beat Kareem’s Rookie total points playoffs record.
Tim Duncan as the #1 pick in the 97-98 season won Rookie of the Year and immediately helped turn the Spurs around after that miserable 96-97 season
You mean the miserable season they brought on themselves after tanking to get Duncan.
@@henny6566yea people forget tha for some reason
Donovan Mitchell
He must have forgot about a 99 ovr demi god winning mvp and sweeping the whole playoffs
Inamgine if Paul Pierce and the Boston won the ECF against the Nets (then in New Jersey) in 2002 (which 20 years later, Boston swept the Nets now in Brooklyn) that would have been the Lakers-Celtics rivalry renewed and also would have been Kobe and Pierce's first Finals showdown (but evetually they met in 2008 and 2010 Finals and split their meetings)
Jokic 25.5 pts, 10.5 reb, 5 ast, 2 stl, 1.5 blk
Kinda meh statline
@@gabrielnieves9974 wtf is a good stat line to you then if that is meh?
@@goddammitnappa1617 I mean it's good, but there's way better statlines for playoff debutes.
You’re going to have to add Jordan Poole to the list later.
Jaylen Brown next video Andy Hoops 🙏🙏🙏
Andy Hoops is the best NBA TH-camr ever next to Chris Smoove
Don’t forget jxmy and swishout
DRose debut is amazing against a def champ Celtics in 09
Thanks For Throwing Devin Booker On This List Bro. He Plays For Phx So His Historic Performances And Accomplishments Are Always Going To Be Undervalued💯💯✊️
What about Anthony Edwards this year vs grizzlies
Two of the best wing defenders in nba history (clips)
Dang very interesting title
Maaan those are some Gargantuans sideburns
I was waiting to see that man Jordan Poole
Derrick Rose vs the Celtics in 08. Dude was popping off
MJ, Magic, Spider Mitchell and Tatum.
im tired of this kids who mocked Paul Pierce as if he was a bench warmer, the dude can play and is a fighter on and off the court.
Derrick Rose????
Ja Morant from last year should be here. Man was giving Utah the business
"He looked like he has been doing it for years."
like yeah?, in Europe.
You forgot to mention Bill Cartwright he was a Monster his rookie year and should have won it all but he was still a beast 21.7 points per game.
It's a shame that Trae couldn't able to replicate what he did in 2021.
Devin Bookers narrow beady eyes are creepy af....Reminds me of Michael Meyers
Respect to the truth
DROSE MAN 👀😭
I think Ja has a good case, although a first round exit in his debut playoff series, he scored 73 points in his first two games against Utah.
The best one on this list is Magic rookie and finals MVP 🔥🔥
Maxey dropped damn near 40 while the nigga he replaced in the starting lineup rode the bench for his new team. Maxeys has one of the best playoff debut games of all time. Definitely in the last decade im giving him the #1 spot. Luka had more points but we expected it. Maxey came out of nowhere.
Luka magic working his magic
Derrick Rose!??
HAPPY 2024 NBA PLAYOFFS DAY
man i think you forgot D Rose when he almost won against Bostons big three
Dwyane Wade lowkey
I mean no surprise , Earvin Magic Johnson is the greatest in his regard , won the FMVP as a rookie , self explanatory honestly
Big shout to ICE TRAE and the HAWKS.
Why didn’t you put Luka’s stat line for the series?
We know Magic Johnson is #1
Trae and Luka somehow became underrated this season. Wth happened ? They are still playing very well and are legit superstars
tim duncan should be in the list.
What about Donovan Mitchell? Man averaged over 30 a night in his first playoff series
Steph Curry 2013 playoffs debut should’ve been on this list. Also Derrick Rose too.
Lot of shots thrown at the Admiral considering he completely turned around a dismal franchise
Pat McCaw, where he won it all in 2017.
What about bill Walton playoff debut
Heinsohn & Russell?
You miss Tim Duncan the start of the Spurs Dynasty
With Luka leading the way in 2020, Dallas exposed the Clippers so much that the latter lost to the Nuggets in the next round.
Derrik rose 2009
D rose in 2009 playoffs?
not real but I'm a 92 ovr in my first playoffs in 2k22 and I'm averaging like 50 ppg
