  1. Idk why Zion don’t watch his old high school tapes he used to be so ambidextrous like he would dunk with his right hand more. Right now he the typical left hander I feel like he can use his tools so much better

  2. Wouldn't it be amazing if this was the year Zion finally got it right and lived up to his potential. I forget how great he was in college. He could have been top 5 every year. He needs to finally develop his jump shot. With the shape he s in right now he d be ALL NBA. He s gotta stay healthy and available first though. I hope it sticks this year

  3. I was at this game in person, Tre murph was unstoppable. If the Pels tidy up their pick and roll defense – which was atrocious last night – they will make the playin/playoffs

  4. Instead of people waiting for his downfall, how about ACTUALLY applauding this man. How about keeping him motivated and stay in this type of mind frame. I know he got to want it for himself but when you see someone reach a milestone you gotta do your best to at least help to keep them there.

  5. I'm calling 2 months before Zion blows his knees or something out again. If this dude was serious about staying in the league long-term, he should have had his weight under control from the get-go BEFORE all the injuries. Now his body's already pretty worn down and more prone to injuries, and it's never going to be as durable as it could have been, had he never gotten injured. He ain't getting younger either and injuries will only cost him more and more each time. It's a damn shame, with all that athletic gift

  6. "Shining" against a UK team. Yeah, I would hope so. What's next, Zion gonna be shining against my local middle school?

    We'll see once the season starts and they start playing something real. Zero faith in Zion, he hasn't earned it.
