#3 Dirk Nowitzki
Nowitzki, the German player, had a forgettable start to his NBA career as he was poor in his defense and averaged only 8.2 PPG and 3.4 RPG in his rookie season. But he bounced back strong in his next season with numbers like 17.5 - 6.5 - 2.5. Every season he became stronger and eventually helped his team to reach playoffs after a decade in 2001.
