I felt like something was weird when he was pulled from the summer league when he banged his knee. But then when he tore his meniscus that preseason, it was right around then I first thought he was injury prone and would eventually become a problem.

It was really when the shite happened with the playoff bubble in Orlando, I knew he was a baby back bitch who we should trade as soon as humanly possible.

Now I feel like the more we try to hang onto him, the more danger it puts this entire franchise in from being move bait.

No way I thought that! I thought he would be a 10 time All NBA player at least! Now, forget NOLA, he might go down as the worse #1 overall pick before it is said and done!

I love this post for so many reasons.

But to answer: when I see the worst of the worst posts, the most toxic shite on here, I call it out.

And the best teams get front running fans. Ask the Westbank.

The Pels have depth issues, as they do just about every year. Some of that is developmental.

People saying I told you so about Zion or calling a “fat lazy dumb frick” etc. it’s the worst kind of fandom.

It’s more of the same, since the franchise moved here. I understand the frustration, but the melt around here after every tweet is a little much.

I had my moments of doubt during his 20 game run where he did pretty well


Its 85 games and if that is your definition of pretty well, id be curious to know what your standard is for really good.

In my defense I've been melting since the Davis pick. Zion is just a more injury prone version, which is a tall hurdle to clear.

He was actually phenomenal. If he had any capacity to keep that pace up for weeks on end and then for an entire season he'd be a force. I just never expected him to be able to at that size-- either he'd stay big and get hurt, or have to lose 50 lbs and change his game. he's chosen the big route so far.

Check in here if you're the special kind of retarded failure of a human being that thinks he deserves an extra dingdong for parroting the most obvious critique you could make of Zion that's been repeated ad mfing nauseam for years now.

hes not a bust.
when healthy hes an all star.
op is trolling.

what only time will tell is whether zion can stay healthy except for bumps and bruises for a season and a summer so he improves his basketball skills. come back for 2022 2023 with an ordinary jumper and fit as Duke D zion.
then bust talk melts in awe.

You say it's been repeated for years, but everyone gave me shite when he was drafted like I was the idiot. You may now bow to my superior intellect.

He's never healthy and will never stay healthy at his size. So he's either got to lose 70 pounds and completely change his game or stay fat and waddle out of the league.

I didn't think he would be a bust, but also had a feeling he did not want to play in New Orleans.

Most players don’t that’s not an insult, that’s just a fact.

Tell me which part of that entails stats?
