Request a trade to the Heat.. would be a dream come true.
Start of something great next season
good interview
How much fun are you having rn ? And they last in west
luv zion…go pels…:)
Is it me or does Zion sound like Damion Lillard 🤔
I've definitely leveled some criticism his way over the years, but i forget how young he really is. I'm hoping this is just the start for him on realizing his true potential. And i appreciated his candor during the interview, keep it going man 👏
Dragon Goon Z🔥🔥. I know what you were thinking Z. Me too Z, me too.
Freaky Zeke 😂
90% of his shots are layups, come on be real with this stupid 59% percentage
Soon as she mentions his diet he farts LOL
Media Trained Zion….
The only player that keep dunking on Wemby
He could easily be a big that represents team USA just gotta stay consistent
Missed the boat 🛶!!! 😢😂😂
"Who doesn't wanna be forever " love this kid, wishing him total success 🎉
Zion should pair up with Luka in LA
Dude your team has worse record in NBA. You having sex with strippers and other being a clown. ONLY espn would take this as a flex
FOH
Good interview malika zion keep growing bro now we need ja morant to do the same stay consistent
Dude wasted his career eating Doritos and drinking sprite getting fat. Bro you wasted your career. You and Ja. He tryna be Nino brown. Smh
Love this kid, so humble….
Glad that Zion came out and spoke on his behalf regarding his career. I hope that he can make the 2028 Olympic team 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🫡🫡🫡🫡
Daily reminder that Zion Moriah-Onlyfans has yet to play his very first playoff game, and he won’t any time soon. He’s extremely talented at f*cking up different parts of his fragile body. Big fat Z or Ozempic z, don’t matter. Something will be f*ucked up. It’s the only thing he can offer to the pelicans fans
Blessings and good health for this kid.
Somebody SERIOUSLY needs to take this dude aside and teach him how to properly shoot a jumpshot. That coupled with a pump fake (just those) and he'd be probably be a top 5-10 player in the league. They know exactly where he's going on offense every time and he's still killing them. Now just imagine what he could do if it wasn't completely telegraphed the whole time. I was MAJORLY hyped when Zion came out of college and think he could still be the real deal. But he's got to expand his game. He's also more likely to get hurt by going into contact every single time he gets the ball. I am massively pulling for Zion but he's gotta switch things up a bit and make himself a more complete player. His athleticism is off the charts, he's competitive when he wants to be, but he's gotta take that approach into every game and add to his skillset, or he'll unfortunately just be star as he gets older, instead of the superstar he could/should be.
Good Interview // Will be cheering for you mate…
Also that line from Invictus, DAMN !
Even when he was out shape let dudes have it.He could average 30 point.But go with the flow of the game.And he unselfish still one of the best in the game and he skill.
One thing new orleans did this year.Year was DeAndre over there to be that veteran.And you can see players respect him.And that was good for Zion.
Bro happy I'm happy for him just need the rite players and coaches around him
" I care a lot. I mean I really care. "🤪
At 3:27 somebody farted 😂
please join the celtics
Please trade this guy
Bro said a bunch of nothing😂3 baby mamas, 150k a month, anime socks & dietary issues is all he has to show since the 2019 draft😭
He needs to be in the dunk contest, enough of the no name competitors
If he can just stay healthy. He's literally unstoppable. I mean players are great in the league and eventually they will learn how to stop him more bt so far I ain't seen it
He trynna create some trade value when the Pels decide to sell. Wonder who will bite.
Love from New Orleans, Zion❤️💙💛
