Zion deserves major credit for even fighting to get back in shape, even with the losses he still competes . You can’t take it for granted when you have players like Ben Simmons.

My advice to Zion is to call Michael Jordan’s former trainer. He’ll get ya all laced-up bruh..

Ja Morant has played in a career high 67 games and that was his rookie season, he’s been injured and suspended just as much. 63,57,61,9 and 41 games this season.

When healthy Zion has the doors to become top 3 in the league. Think about it when he is in transition or in a 1v1 situation how many players can even stop him.
Literally last game against bron and luka he cooked both of them but it was lost due to only a team difference. Bro ZION SCORES 40 WITH JUST DUNKS AND NO THREES, YOU KNOW HOW INSANE THAT IS, IT LITERALLY MEANS THE NO ONE ON THE COURT CAN STOP HIM

The Cavs won’t even make the Eastern Conference Finals…they never dominate teams…they just get these come from behind STRUGGLE wins against good teams and bad teams…like…how you strugglin to come back playin a bad team? You should be DOMINATING right out the gate…Cavs gonna have a great season…then it will end badly in the playoffs…nothing to see in Cleveland.

If Zion can somehow be consistent he’s clearly better all round than ja morant imo he’s a better scorer rebounder and passer and he’s far more efficient it’s not even close in that aspect

SAS: “he deserves a boatload of credit and I’m here to give it to him”
Also SAS: “he could be considered a bust”

I didn’t know the NBA had any other players besides James and Curry. ESPN needed to be checked by PK and Chuck

Stephanie smith jokic is mvp. You u want sga cause he is black
@DJo-d6m
March 13, 2025 at 2:44 am
When it comes to front court players… Jokic is miles ahead of anyone. Zion looks good (flashy) but when it comes to impacting the game.. you know what’s up lol
