Another career Tigerdroppings loser who spends all of his time on the internet instead of actually living his own life. Very sad and pathetic


Oh this is good… this is real good

Being drafted by Griffin, being black, and playing basketball is about the extent of their similarities. Zion's issues are health and professionalism. Bennett's issue was talent.


Both 1 and done.

Both overhyped.

Both had under performing college year yet still was #1 pick.


Understand the stat inflation of Zion to Bennett comparison thus far.

I want nothing but the best for Z, but the fact that he never once actually gave Nola a chance is sad. Blame it on AD, blame it on the players before, blame it on the market, whatever…

But for a “once in a generation talent” to basically poison his own career because he doesn’t want to be there… that’s sad.

There is no comparison.

Bennett was a Superstar that never was.

Zion is a Superstar the could have been (and with a little self-discipline still could be)

The onus is on him.

lol When Zion plays he might be UNDER hyped. He averaged 27.5 last year with one of the greatest shooting percentages of all time.

one of the greatest single seasons statistically of all time. His PER was whatever the word more than "ridiculous" is. He wasn't even the SECOND highest ranked recruit on his team. He was the 3rd ranked recruit on his own team. If anything he overperformed.

You are clueless.

I think we both can agree that Current Zion is no where near the Zion the Pelicans drafted with their #1 overall pick.

Understand that it’s hard to have any other memory or hype surrounding Zion to be negative, but the more we get into his career the more we are seeing some of the negatives come about that would compare him to more of a “bust” or “overrated”..

Again, pulling for Z… and I believe I said it last May or so on the record here about him needing to lose 30-40 lbs (before it was an issue and made its rounds in the media) and just destroy the league.. instead all of this commotion since has occurred..

Assuming you just pulled a name out of a hat to try and sound smart. Obviously, there is no comparison whatsoever.

No even close. A healthy Zion is a top 10 player in the league. Potentially top 5.

Anthony Bennett just stinks healthy or not, motivated or carefree
