    Uhhh Michael Jordan is a guard. Can we pump the brakes here? They love to compare people to the GOAT…….

      Zion has 34 games of his first 50 where he has at least 20 points and his FG% is at least 50%.
      the next two players on the list are Shaq and Jordan.
      that is all they’re saying.

    Here we go, Michael Jordan the only one on that list that’s impressive being that he shot other places than under the basket

      Exactly people act like zion is shooting 60% taking deep jumpers and tough contested shots . But all he is doing is dunks and lay ups

      Shaqs not impressive? The only difference from Zion is that Mj shot the mid range, shooting under the basket is considered easy now? You get guarded the most being under the basket as your surrounded by defensive players tho its not harder to make the shot its the most gaurded

      also think about everyone knowing that you want to attack the rim 95% of the time

    I mean all zion does is dunk and lay ups

    I don’t understand how people think he has already lived up to expectations he hasn’t improved his game at all, he hasnt had an effect on winning and he’s not a good defender I think eventually he is going to be an mvp player but right now I think he’s disappointed

    In this nba newest tofu defence system, scoring is easier than before and no more iron defence, so sad nba becomes a circus shotting contest

    A lot of people on MJ’s nuts in the comments all I know is MJ not even close to the goat Robert Horry

    Perk was a role player , Zion is not that

    His ThicccNess > His Airness? That’s a bold statement

    Imagine if zion could stay around 255 260 ish OMG that man would be unstoppable

    Yo, I swear ESPN be like: “No player has ever scored 34 points during a winter storm while being 23 years old or younger in the month of February on the evening of a crescent moon only visible for 21/2 hours in the Pacific Northwest – not even Jordan.”

    That’s with half the games being a 20-25 min restriction

    Zion takes more shots at the rim then Shaq. 75% of Zions shots are from 0-3 feet away from the basket. Shaq in his prime was hovering around 50% of his shots being from 0-3 feet

    Zion reminds you of yourself Kendrick really… can you tell me when you score 20 points in any game professionally

    Barkley could shoot 3s but didn’t make them lol

  19. Slim Chain AKA G. Wiz

    February 18, 2021 at 2:02 am

    He reminds me most of Larry Johnson

    Zion can’t play defense

    The G.O.A.T will never replace
    Signature quote: I want to be like Mike
    Many basketball players idolize mike
    One thing no players will ever do better than mike is sell more sneakers than mike ,each time his shoes come out there’s always a line
    Mike crying is long last
    Those analysts need to stop jumping over kobe byran

    1:25 ‘Barkley could shoot threes’…..he could….but judging by his accuracy from outside he probably shouldn’t

    • Joe Douglas

      Exactly. Barkley was never even league average (which was 25-30% back in the day).

    • Joe Douglas

      February 18, 2021 at 2:33 am

      *League avg was closer to 30-35% at the time, so not AS terrible as first mentioned.

    If MJ played is this SOFT AS TOILET TISSUE LEAGUE HE WOULD DESTROY THE ENTIRE LEAGUE AGAIN WITH ABSOLUTE EASE!!!!!!!!

  24. don't want this

    February 18, 2021 at 2:49 am

    Stats are inflated now. Everybody will pass everybody soon and faster 🤷🏾
