Inside the NBA reacts to Suns vs Pelicans Game 6 & Discusses Zion Williamson | 2022 NBA Playoffs 

I’ve never seen a 1st year coach with this much heart and emotion put into his guys…. The Pels have a very bright future with or WITHOUT Zion

Man shoutout to New Orleans for rallying and pushing the suns in the first round like they did. With this group and hopefully a healthy Zion, they can make some noise in the west next year

I'm not even exaggerating... Chris Paul is legitimately still in his prime. I've never seen him better than in these last 2 years with the Suns

CHRIS PAUL in this series has been mind-blowing GAME 2 : 14 Assists with 0 Turnovers GAME 3 : 14 Assists with 0 Turnovers GAME 6 : 33 Points on a 100-100-100 splits Rewriting history at age 36!

Damn, the Pels lost a hard fought game. I'm so proud of the way they turned the team around after getting McCollum. BI been balling all season! Hope to see y'all build on this next year!! Let's go, Pels!!!!! Much respect to CP3 and the Suns! An awesomely historic game by CP3!! Hope they finally win so he can get his ring! Much respect to both teams!! Great series!

8:30 He absolutely has that David Robinson comp, awesome Shaq recognized it.

15:38 Chuck about the Zion situation: "Hire a chef" 🤣 *Thank you Chuck. I knew I wasn't the only one thinking that!* 🙌 On average, these dudes getting paid 12M$/year. You telling me you don't have 50k to spend on these guys nutrition! Come on now!

First year coach, him crying shows the love of the game. Love to see it 🙏🏼🙏🏼

CP3's game was a win for basketball. 14-14 without a bunch of threes - higher % shots and fundamental plays and moves. It was like a throwback to better basketball.

I love the culture that Willie Green has built with these Pelicans, they are gonna be contenders next season.

Was rooting for PHX, but man those Pels were fun to watch. They played with heart and didn't let PHX roll over them.

Chris and Bron are the only players capable of games like this at their ages Kudos👏🏆

I picked Phx to win this before any of the series started….but hats off to N’Orleans. The Pels played their asses off…all heart, max effort. Honestly hope they keep improving. Think they on to something with Ingram coming in to his own and bringing McCollum in has turned out to be great so far.

Ayton really does remind me of David Robinson. The physique, the jump shot.

CP3 still the best PG in the NBA

Suns always bring the best out of everyone It's been like that all season long Everyone was on their A game when playing against the Suns

Hats off to my Pels for playing so hard Let's go Pels can't wait until next year

The pressure is on Zion now because unlike the Griz the Pels made the playoffs in spite of you…so if he doesn’t show this summer going into next season the city is going to want him gone…it doesn’t matter how great somebody is if they don’t want to be there we don’t want you here

Pelicans you did fantastic, they are going to be scary next season.

I'll disagree with Shaq about predicting injuries. From the point that Zion blew up his shoe at Duke it was obvious he needed to lose weight or he'd have issues.

I just dont see how they stop Ayton. Dude will FEAST

When a player shows no discipline, trade him, no matter how talented he is, not worth it.

“That school in Durham” 😆🤣🤣

Two of the more happier and feel good teams in the league. Love it

Seeing Nop rises up this season I realizing the league is well-balanced no more super teams just true competition 👍🏽

CP3 showing why is a known as a *POINT GOD* Curry : best shooter Kyrie : best handles CP3 : best IQ They all have there flaws but I still think CP3 the best PG still in the league . One of the Top 10 PG of all time hands down

I want the Suns to finish what they left last year. 💪🏽🔥

"You may get in a crash, but at least wear a seat belt" lmaooo

Hats off to BI and the Pels

Chuck said he'd get an Academy Award for Jose's flop 💀🤣

3:06 this almost made me cry fr. Love seeing that raw emotion! When you have passion for something the sky is the limit

Shaq called it right when he said Paul is at a place where he can ball out every other game. And to have Booker back gave the rest of the team the confidence.

Shoutout to Pelicans fans that held on to that hope they might actually get this series. Y’all made it fun, and even scared us a little bit. Go Suns!!!

I'm proud of our guys for fighting until the end.

Wish Ingram, and Nance were still Lakers. Yall can have AD back

Business was slow at State farm due to lockdowns. Cliff Paul did well there moonlighting as an NBA player.

Amazing series. I was worried about playing the Pels, they have talent up and down this roster. Zion needs to get off his ass and play hard for this team. They will be contenders the next couple years if he's serious

Chuck's smart Alec remarks are legendary 🤣🤣🤣

Im not a Pels fan but it would be great to see Zion back and in good shape.

Deandre Ayton 10.12 FG😂

CP3 Was absolutely Awesome...Go Suns!!!

Give Wily Green a two year extension!!!!!

I'm proud of New Orleans, I really wish them the best success next season and hope they can become the next emerging young team!

Yall hear the chant from the crowd "who needs zion"

This pelicans team gonna be nicee to watch when Zion comes back. They’ll be back for sure next year! 💪🏻

Luka went back, booker went back, but ben simmons cannot be bothered while teammates were needing serious defense

Who the hell said Jae Crowder could guard Luka 😭

Pelicans are tough what a good run

Chuck is soooooooo wise...he needs to make the HOF as a broadcaster...the mind is what needs to be tightened up on Zion for real!

Zion’s literally their missing peace from title contention…he’s that good. Hopefully he takes this off-season series and gets back to atleast 270

pelicans went from being a joke organization to having the brightest future, they have a lot to be proud of.

there's a reason Chris is top 5 point god ever. this man doesn't fade and has been day 1 from day 1.

BI step up got lot respect for him and his game..pels got nice roster if zion can come bk...bt cp3 is climbing the best ever pg list they don't call him a point God for no reason...dude a gamer

Is cp3 in the top 5 for players still in the playoffs?

Shaq talking “for us veterans” like he still in the league. 😂

Tell me again how Chris Paul can't get it done when it really matters. I love that story.

Pelicans had a double digit lead, should have found a way to hold on for the win at home, despite CP3 and ayton having solid games

I love what this Pelicans team played since January. I am proud of them. This team is on the rise. Sn: trade Zion

So, Zion couldn’t play 15 minutes per game. Just his presence on the court would’ve been enough to keep the double teams away from BI and 3J. I mean the guy is throwing down 360 for fun. I’m sure he could’ve average 10-15 pts.

It took a perfect CP3 to put these boys out. They’re one piece away and he’s sitting in the bench. Bet they’d kill to have Zo back too.

Honestly love Shaq more and more as the years go by. And I straight up hated in my early years. He’s a competitive person, view him as such. Nothing wrong with it and it’s actually pretty entertaining

Can't forget pelicans head coach played with Chris Paul and coached with Monty Williams... I know that definitely slowed phoenix down too.. hard when a coach knows exactly what your gonna do and how u gonna play!

Lol that screen by CP3 on Alvarado in the backcourt was like the cleanest screen in this whole series. Def not a foul, but Alv sold it well.

Dam I gotta turn the volume up when Shaq talks 😂

Kenny dressing up like a UPS driver again. 🤣 🤣 🤣

Chris just took that game. Man, I can only sit and think back what if Kobe and him would have been able to play in the Lakers together. Wow. Hope He gets the Chip this year.

trade zion, he looks not into this team and they need build around ingram

Lukic a bad man. So is booker!!! Go Suns

Haha I get what chuck is sayin but the way he said it was essentially "stop being hurt." As a life long Suns fan this series has opened my eyes to the impressive talent that the Pelicans are working with. Once they work out the kinks in their team strategy they are going to be a force to be reckoned with. I never paid much attention to the Pelicans this or any season, but bet I will be next season. It's always gonna be Suns first to me but when the Pels play anyone who isn't the Suns I'll be rooting for em.

Once Zion gets that max contract, he's mentally gone to Cancun for the rest of his career.

Respect! New Orleans with Zion healthy will be powerhouse in years to come! Let’s go Suns!

CP3 is making every 30 year old and above whose still playing sports extremely proud!

New Orleans played so hard I don't even think they need zion

I think another example of a "point guard" that nobody talks about is Draymond Green. When he takes the ball up, he'll make the pass TO MAKE THE PASS to someone else. He wants to push the ball up the floor and use his speed advantage against traditional bigs to run them off the floor.

Any team giving Zion 200 million has to be crazy.

Got to recognize Ayton and Bridges as well...

So happy for all these young teams to make some noises in the future.

This was the most fun series in the first round....this is what playoff basketball should be about.

It will never be done again, for a long time? Shaq and his mastery of "the slip a contradictory statement in"

Shout out Book, for believing in the heat check lol. I’m here for it.

Pelicans played well despite Zion being a no show all season.

The Suns vs Mavs series is about to be REAL interesting!

CP3 is the best point guard.

Did anyone else notice the Microsoft advertisements on the court that disappear halfway through the first quarter highlights?

Would be a lot more different if Zion playing. Excited for the next season with these hungry Pels!

What a great series. Really enjoyed seeing the junior lakers do so well.

Man this Mavs Suns series is gonna be so good. Brunson v. Bridges

Maybe trade Zion while his value is still high and get some pieces that will be available to help now cause Z ain’t even playing

shaqs face at 12:32 oml

Suns not beating the Warriors after how much they struggled against the Pels I predict a Bucks Warriors Finals Bucks back to back champs

Monty Williams at 2:43 was hype AF!!

Why did Kenny cut off Shaq like that? 15:05

Suns are the best team in the clutch and Luka is one of the best players (along with some of the suns players) in the clutch, can’t wait

if booker is healthy, its gonna be short series

If Zion was healthy or in basketball shape to play series would’ve been different especially with d book gettin hurt early

We seriously weak players today man. They don't get half the hardest fouls Shaq and MJ use to get. And these injuries and Zion being over weight and calling it fat shame is sickening man!!!

Shaq couldn’t help but laugh @12:24 😂 he so childish

NOP got Great young players if Zion can stay healthy next season they'll be a problem

Kenny was on point about the pg. This is a better game with real points.

I'm really gonna miss Chuck when it's all said and done givin CREDIT to folks all the time 🤣
