This Is Not The Same Zion Williamson 

I only care about the game, that other stuff is for national media outlets.

@@HoopVenueyeah but come on conditioning is part of the game. Now I get the fat jokes that’s one thing but I don’t believe all critics about his size are related to making fun of.

For real. Mainstream sports news is basically buzzfeed levels of dumb now.

Yea but that shit talking is working. Zion is much better now, good job kid shows he has grit, but needs consistency and the lebron James plan of how to take care of your body.

@@saidufofanah2210 but he was never even that big. He’s a large muscular dude. He was never fat/obese like these media outlets and casual fans insinuated.

It’s possibly best I’ve ever seen

kyrie touch at 6'6" 270 pounds is crazy

@@wephilips6651 😂😂

@@feelcollins4358 Find me someone else who finishes as smooth and as strong as Zion does.

His touch around the basket is already top five of all time. Dude has some finesse 👌

Absolutely, I don't know if we've ever seen a guy that can explode to the basket and then finish with the soft touch like that. And the scary thing is that he's not even at top condition yet. If he stays disciplined he will put the Pelicans on the map, there's no one stopping him

pause

Unfortunately there’s a lot of teams that are fine with facing the Pels in the playoffs but it’s not because the Pels lack talent or even depth. They have an insane one-two punch on the starting roster as well as amazing developing talent like Dyson Daniels, Jordan Hawkins, Jose Alvarado, Herb Jones, and Trey Murphy. It’s their coaching that’s so putrid. As a Pels fan I find myself pulling my hair out in far too many games just from absolutely insane plays being drawn up. Like it actually seems like Willie Green is just a kid playing 2K so much what he’s drawing up is that bad. If they can get some more competent coaching and a gritty, old-fashioned style center then they can actually go toe to toe with anyone in the west in the playoffs.

Curry at the rim

@@ActivateMysticMine exactly Willie is holding us back

That’s crazy. The Pelicans are a darkhorse sleeper team that could upset one of the top seeds. Point Zion is a problem for the league, with better conditioning and focus he’s becoming elite in real time

He's the only one in a top 25? What?

@jordanbabcock9349 can you read lol

@@autofill17 without punctuation I believe I read this as "Zion is the only player on the top 25 NBA leading scoring list this year, doing so in under 31 minutes a game."

The way he gets talked about for what he’s produced thus far is wild.

I am convinced that the NBA made a choice to not market him this year because of the off the off-season drama. Probably smart to let him have less of a spotlight to solely focus on the game.

Idk.. hasn't he missed a good proportion of his career already? At 280, idk how long he will remain explosive. His stats should be massive right now.. he hasn't even played very much since selected.

​@@jamesviolette3rd463cuz he stays out of shape. I don't know why people get mad about the truth. He was overweight. He has gotten in better shape as the season has went on. A good question will be. Will he come out of the next off season in shape or just like the start of this one.

@@jamesviolette3rd463he’ll always be close to a double double in averages World class strength is hard to come by & for a guy his size he has great touch around the rim

Just look at some of these comments, truly hated.

People don’t hate Zion they hate that he has seemingly not given his all to the game, dude was suppose to be the face of the league but can’t keep his weight down in order to stay on the court. Look at his body and effort at Duke vs now it’s not the same.

@@cameronbolden5064 If that was the case they would be more positive especially on this video I call bullshit. Certain ppl were pissed at his hs videos and bullying kids. Those same folks never wanted to see him succeed. Those are the same folks who tried to relate Chet Holmgren to every Wemby highlight video problem with Zion there is no one to compare him to so they have no choice but to wish the worst on him. If they can get a SA charge on him they’d be happy

No one wishes worse for Zion, where the hell did you hear that? Or are you just making it up?

I already explained this page is deleting comments 🤷🏾‍♂️

@@QueenNala487 It's true women really don't know sports 🤣🤣

Also just like Dominique Wilkins he’s not a good defender despite his athletic gifts

He’s more like a small giannis without the defense

Giannis isn't even a great defender but I see what u mean

@@adolfBBClmaooo Giannis is a former DPOY wym?

@@chrilpy Like 'Neque, he'll get better as he realizes that that is a way to win. Many good defenders weren't that early on. Tyson Chandler and LeBron both got really good on that end as veterans. But unlike those two, Zion is not working with great defensive physical tools. I do expect improvement though. I called his injury problems before he was drafted, though. That might also slow his career progress.

Yeah he's way less of a dunking threat than projected but he's found a way to get back into the groove of things. Serious serious dark horse for all nba teams in the next few years as he continues to develop and work on his health. If he can become a 30/10/3 player he should be the Pels will be a scary team going forward.

If he played in the nfl he would probably make Myles look small tbh. Zion would be like a 6’7” 315lb DT who destroyed people

Julius Peppers as well. 6'6 285 40in vert/4.7 40. I could see Zion having numbers like that probably with a bit more vert and weight.

if he was a draft prospect, they would all be gushing about his bend from the edge

Myles Garrett with the hands of Randy Moss lol.

There are videos of myles garret playing bball. He is indeed impressive. But zion is way more explosive and athletic. I really think zion would destroy everybody in the nfl for 3 quarters as a giant RB or insanely fast TE, until he got hurt. You can just tell by how he plays he would be world class in any sport.

Last time I watched the NBA was the 1970s (yes I missed the Jordan era, lol, too busy with my career). Zion is like a modern day "Wes Unseld" of the old Washington Bullets.

“defense” is wild 💀 Like bro that’s half the game!

I'm not sure I'd agree with that. If you mean more ways of finishing around the rim, sure. Playmaking, yes. But shooting or D is expecting that he would become something that he really doesn't seem to have any potential or desire to work on. You wouldn't ask Shaq for that (except FTs heheh)

A player who does not take care of his body probably is not taking care of his game. The only thing about this season that gives reason for hope is his injury status. I still wouldn't bet on him reaching his potential.

@@andredornelles8014 wouldn’t say he doesn’t have potential on defense. He was one of the best POA defender at Duke and a very sneaky help defender as well. The problem with his defense rn is one, he’s a little lazy, but that’s ok, star players all take rest defensively. But just don’t give up cuts easily or not even trying, which I think he did better lately. The bigger problem tho is he’s jumping on every contest, even giving people driving lanes just to try to block their shots. But that can definitely improve with more playing time. So I can see him being an average defender at the very least. And for the shooting part, maybe it’s a little too much to ask for him to ever become a legit jump shooter with his body type. But his shooting form actually looks pretty solid, and even though the sample size is small, you can see a lot of promise from his few 3pt and midrange attempts. The reason why he’s not taking them often is he’s not consistent or confident enough to shoot it instead of driving in for a layup that has a way high efficiency. But we all kno the driving lane is not open all the time and especially in the playoffs teams would make things the most uncomfortable for you. So I’m not asking him to implement shooting as one of his primary ways to score, but just being a respectable catch and shoot player would unleash so much for both him and Bi. I don’t think it’s not possible we see guys like Randle and OG who were also considered big forwards who couldn’t shoot when they came out of college and were eventually able to develop a respectable jumper

Nah just let him dominant in the paint its fun to watch

Would love to see Ant and Zion duke it out , they have not matched up much

i dont think they can get through the Thunder, but it would fs be a great match-up

Don’t worry, I had Ja 😭

Thank you so much!

Thanks!

Thank you!

Only on right hand dunks but no layups with the right.

I don't think he was overrated at the peak of his hype and he would have shown that if he could have been healthy.

The formula of force is definitely the best way to describe his game 😂
