BI > Zion

That's what I see. Am I crazy?
BI in the playoffs last year proved he can get his shot against anyone. I view his playoff performance as better than anything Zion has shown so far.
Is there a question heading into next season as to who is the Alpha?

BI is the alpha until Zion proves differently.

We’re just gunna have to agree to disagree on this one

Why are some people so obsessed with "alphas?"

It's not an obsession, it's an observation. There is only one ball on the court.
It's a damn good problem to have but it's a legitimate question.

This is B.I.‘s team. The FO knows it. He knows it. At this point I’m sure Zion knows it. Z will have to put time on the court and stack scalps on the wall before the pendulum swings his way.
As of now:
Batman-B.I.
Robin-Zion
Ra’s al Ghul (mentor)-CJ
Joker-Lakers
TwoFace-Toní

Dude BI great but Zion literally was unstoppable last year with a awful HC who did a terrible job getting the team ready to play night in and night out.

If you're referring to alpha males, they don't exist. If you're talking about who's team this is, it's BI's.

BI will be 25 soon. Zion just turned 22.
BI should be further along. But I don't think that means BI is automatically the closer. A lot will depend on the match ups. I also would hope that we have enough talent to run plays at the end and not just ISO our "alpha". Between the Big 3 and Trey, they should be able to get a good shot in crunch time.

BI is awesome and I hope he’s a pelican forever, but If Zion remains at least as healthy as BI has been, then it’ll be his team. Zion was historically good when playing, even when he was out of shape. Zion doesn’t have to be the team leader to be “the guy”, he’s just likely going to be the better basketball player going forward unless he cant get rid of the injuries
Please go watch Zion’s highlights if you haven’t in a while. It’s truly absurd how good he was when playing, and he’ll only get better
Preferrably both Zion and BI are Batman

BI has the more complete game and is more of a leader.
Zion still has more of a ceiling. BI’s jumper is occasionally off and that definitely can impact the type of game he is having. Zion’s jumper is arguably always off and he’s still going to get 25 points on 50% plus shooting.
But we should probably stop Debate Style Vsing/Pitting our Players against each other.
Both will shine, usually in the same game. One night, BI might get the last look, the next, Zion might.

BI, CJ, and Zion are all going to lead this team in different ways this season.
BI is the one who leads by example. He's the last one in the gym, he's the one who holds the team together, he's the big brother to Jose, etc.
CJ is the wise counsellor. He's the one who will have the right words to say in the locker room after a tough loss, the guy who's an extra coach on the floor.
Zion is our best player. He's the one we are going to feed in crunch time, because he's unstoppable (and I expect him to be much better this season).

BI will be even better with Zion on the court. Even if he doesn't score as much I bet he will be a more efficient scorer. We don't even know how good Zion could be. I think he could be a Shaq level player, and that's pretty damn hard to top.

Does it matter? Lmao

I saw what you did there!!

Stop with the stupidity.

If you're using health as the main driver, then yes BI has been better because he has been more available.
But when both are on the court and playing, there's really no debate, Zion is decidedly better.
quote:The whole alpha concept is silly, but again, assuming full health, there is no question who the best basketball player on the team is, it's Zion.
Is there a question heading into next season as to who is the Alpha?
