It’s kinda crazy how Zion has basically become an afterthought (alien.top)

I remember the hype coming out of duke, how teams were tanking for him, the “generational” talent/prospect talks. How by this time Zion would either be the straight up face of the league or one of them. Definitely a top ten player and more than likely a top 5 player by now. That basically didn’t happen, he’s been surpassed by other young players since. I legit remember several Who would you rather have going forward Luka or Zion threads. It’s crazy

I feel kinda vindicated atm. I knew this guy was not going to have a smooth or successful start to his career.

His overweight body, his lack of work ethic or feeling the need to work hard to compete, and his really immature early teenager type character from interviews all gave me red flags.

Being that fat is a choice, and the dude has been used to rolling out of bed bigger and strong than players and not needing to do much to be one of the best.
