Could there be a better first night in the NBA? VJ Edgecombe can ask the question since his big league debut will be a success. They are even historical. THE rookie from Philadelphia scored 34 points (13/26 shooting and 5 awarded baskets) in Sixers win on the Celtics floor.
“I’ve worked every day, my whole life, for moments like this. It’s my dream. I’ve been praying for this. I’ve always prayed to be in the NBA, to stay there. It’s been crazy. Honestly, this is beyond my expectations.”, commented former Baylor player.
VJ Edgecombe exceeded everyone’s expectations in this first match. You only have to look at his stats and history to see that. Only two players scored more points in their first NBA game: Frank Selvey, 35 points in 1954, then Wilt Chamberlain, 43 points in 1959.
Allen Iverson and LeBron James deleted
It’s been 66 years since we saw such a show! “The first one is amazing, really. It’s a pretty cool list to join”lance son coach Nick Nourse. “He was very good, very comfortable. He has confidence in himself, a lot of confidence.”adds Tyrese McKay.
The Sixers’ rookie scoring record, held by Allen Iverson (30 points in 1996), therefore fell. First-quarter scoring record, again for a rookie, also as his 14 points surpass LeBron James’ 12, October 2003 in Sacramento.
“It’s nice to hear his name next to LeBron’s. It’s crazy.”reacts the guard of the Sixers, who not only added 7 rebounds and 3 assists to his performance, but also several nice flights. “I hope to have a long career ahead of me, that’s the most important thing, longevity.”
