re: Why do people say Zion Williamson is such a good player?

Charles Barkley was a completely different player who played at a completely different time under different rules.

Charles Barkley could shoot and play 1 on 1. And he used to constantly back guys down for like 10 seconds until he got near the basket and hit a little jump shot. That doesn’t work in today’s NBA.

Check out early 76ers Barkley when he had athleticism. It looks more like Zion. Later Barkley’s game was backing people down but that was after he slowed down. I’m not saying Zion is Barkley, but their power game looks more similar if you look at Barkley’s early career.
