So dominant in the paint
Zion is a Shaq and Lebron Hybrid. Most dominant force we will ever see when he’s 27
I love his confidence out there!
Love new zion he doesn't do flashy dunks and just takes it to the rack and gets layups and what's nesceccsry
Zion the new face of the nba
Bro was clearly out 🤣
Zion just warming up yall hes gonna wreck the nba even better than shawn kemp back in the days. Zion only reason i came back to watch the nba. My gen got blessed to watch all the greats starting with MJ so when mike retired we where left with exceptional players. Cmon look nba hyped up Kawaii leonard like a MJ at one point it was sad to see that because naw the other guys are good but nothing like MJ.
Curry to me is just another better version of Steve Nash but until now NBA got something reeel special and the man loves the game hopefully he not into politics like some of the other players are.
Did Zion just make Lebron and Ad look small in the paint 😭
WHAT!!!
Zion and A.D. on the court at the same time!!
This is like seeing Big foot and the Loch Ness monster at the same time!!!
Can you imagine Zion 30 pounds lighter with a 3pt jumper?
Zion bullying Lebrun 😂
Bro like the announcer said it’s literally nothing u can do against Zion .. he’s all world
If he was so good why didn't the Pelicans win? I'm just about to collect my win on the Lakers. Go Lakers!!! Too easy!!!
He need to shoot the shot from the free throw line more often
man gets whatever he wants 😂
This dude was cookin Bron,,,
If he wasn't in foul trouble he would have dominated the end of the game both offensively and defensively.
So now you'll wanna ride his wood…smh!
And 1 call that ish
He’s a VERY VERY strong point-forward.
Was Ingram playing it would been a better game I finally missed a game didn't have my fire stick life of a trucker
I’m just wondering how long people are going to continue holding their breathe for this guy to be good. 27 points in a losing effort against the worst team in the league garners him a thumbnail highlight? Lmao 😂 the man has no tendons in his knees. Steve Francis at best… more likely DeJuan Blair 🥹😅.
He’s just getting started, he’ll out up 32 a game when he gets more and more into the flow of things.
the future is bright in the NBA. Zion, Ja, Luka, and Giannis. We are in good hands!!!
Watching Zion bully LeBron is insane 😂
HES A BULLY 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Most of zion's high school opponents gave better defense than Lebron. Dude is flat out lazy lol
If not for the ridiculous Matt Ryan 3 they win
Zion is in great shape now. Someone posted he'd be even better if he lost 30 pounds. I disagree. Given his body-type he would lose power & explosiveness if he lost another 30 pounds. That would be like an elite 100m sprinter losing weight to look like a marathon runner He would be lighter but he won't be faster nor jump as high because much of the weight loss would be muscle.
If you research basketball analytics and variables that impact player performance, "mass" if it is in the form of muscle & explosiveness is more impactful than height & length in the paint The caveat is that you have to have a certain baseline level of height meaning this would NOT apply to a 5’6” guy in the NBA.
Example:
Charles Barkley (6'6" in shoes) averaged more rebounds per game over the course of his career than the following (heights are in shoes):
1. Kareem- 7'2", 2. Artis Gilmore- 7'2", 3. Dikembe Mutombo 4. Shaq- 7'1, 5. Rudy Gobert- 7'1", 6. David Robinson- 7'1", 7. Joel Embiid- 7'0", 8.Patrick Ewing, 9. Hakeem Olajuwon- 6'11" 10. Kevin Garnett- 6'11", 11. Tim Duncan- 6'11", 12. Nikola Jokic- 6'11"
Zion reminds me of Jabari Parker, shame he got injured. Dude was so fun to watch
Nice to see a traditional Power Forward back in the league
that boy was giving Bron buckets
Zion is Shaq and Chucks virtual son.
He’s getting his legs back under him just gotta close out games
You gotta press Zion. Playing drop coverage seems intuitive because we all know he won’t shoot it. But giving him a running start to the basket is disastrous defense.
he's starting shooting, tried some fadeaways. very good
Zion was working that paint like nobody's business
zion its not fair. u r a cheat code
I'm telling you now Zion is a bust like Simmon, most of his shots are an inch from bouncing off, lose a little hop and he's trash
Cooking bron
0:29 "And one!!!!!!! Call that sh*t man!"
Why does Bron look so lazy on a lot of these buckets?
