Yeah. Most overrated player currently. In the 50 or so games he played in two seasons, he was good but not great. He’s way too heavy. Shaq, the only player I can even compare him to, was 7 feet. He’s only 6’6 and over 320 lbs dude. That can not be sustainable.
@@chrismofo1 He played historically great? U mean like every #1 draft pick in college who’s a supposed future NBA superstar? Playing 50 games and saying his dominant is like saying Lonzo Ball is Steph Curry with a 40 inch vertical. He’s proved nothing yet.
@@chrismofo1 empty stats if you can't stay on the court. Shit Michael Carter-Williams if he got injured right after his 1st game people would talk about how historically great he was too but he kept playing and we saw "oh okay that was a fluke" let's see him play a full NBA season, at least 70 games 65 at bare minimum, and then we can talk.
I really hope with the next CBA contract, NBA players power is limited. It’s unfair if players can just sit out games to demand a trade and still get paid. They shouldn’t be paid if they are sitting out games to get traded. Being fined isn’t enough. The team just shouldn’t pay the player entirely. I hope we don’t get to many more Ben Simmons type situations because then the NBA will be uninteresting to watch.
Yea it’s gone overboard. NBA has been a players league since the 80’s+. I understand, everyone should be paid what they’re worth. But they’re taking it too far now. Big contracts use to be earned with stellar play and consistency. 82 games season - (96 including the playoffs) and you’ll be lucky if a STAR player even plays 40-50 games the entire season. If they feel the team is bad, just sit out and rob the fans 🤦🏾♂️
Ummm you do know that most of the reports are saying that the pels are the ones who didn't let him play in the playoffs right? Wasn't even his choice. All the reports I've read state that he wanted in. The organization refused.
Lol right 🤣😂 the dude is a bust, fat and is going to get bent over next season🤣 y’all Zion fanboys gonna be crying saying he didn’t get a chance or the right team blah blah 😂🤣
@@mutandaeffiong2685 that's the way it always goes. It's not just the NBA every sport or news outlet needs their story so things will be misconstrued and taken outta context. The Nets for example. Steve prolly gonna get fired. But this season should be all blame falling on Kyrie.
Quite honestly player empowerment could totally destroy competitive balance. Teams like OKC and San Antonio wouldn't be able to compete if every time they drafted a really good player the player was allowed to force their way out. While the large market teams would be able to cherry pick the best talent.
What the Hell are you talking about San Antonio has five championships and OKC drafted three MVPs in the words of the infamous Jerry Krause organizations win championships choose freedom bro
If teams respected that, then we wouldn't have had the Cavs before 2010, KG and Love in Minnesota and so many other players who were drafted by bad franchises who refused to build a good team around their stars.
@@daanishgupta kg played in Minnesota for alonggg time, and Kevin love was traded for the first overall pick these situations are different then what he’s talking about, he’s talking about like James harden in Houston just acting like he’s hurt “gained weight” stopped trying and then still gets what he wants and traded to a contender and the rockets couldn’t get the actual value harden was worth bc everyone knew they had to trade him bc he wasn’t even trying for the team anymore
Look, I love your videos but you can't just overdramatise and assume things. Zion stated he wants to play, the pels just didn't let him. And it makes alot of sense why, playing they way he wants to play at his weight brings to much risks for him and the pels. If anything, the fact that the pelicans are willing to not let him play means that they can guarantee or at least have a belief that he will stay
Zion played 50games in 2 seasons. And still getting compared to the games played by other players. Yall dont think those PPG will go down if he played more games ? Stop comparing his 50 games in 2 seasons. Just stop.
@@orlando9103 lmfao. And u gonna compare him to those jump shooting players? While most of his basket was near the ring. He barely shoot jump shoots and lay ups and dunks has more chance of going in. Even Isiah Thomas can do that if he had the same height and weight like zion without ease.
There is no “drama”… Mike literally used 0 sources for this video. Zion has been wanting to play, the pelicans are sitting him out. This happens all the time, teams don’t risk returning a player late into the season. Zion is the only player that gets no sympathy for being hurt, people make fun of him for it instead
Greg Oden situation is entirely different the reason he was so injury prone was cus he got hurt as a kid and fucked up his pelvis never got it checked out and one of his legs is longer than the other sadly he had no chance to have a long career
@@ThaKingSwervooo How do you expect him to type it out then? exactly you’re the type of person who’d do the same “Bro is trippin” you’re correcting someone for being informal but for somewhat reason does it as well.
As a Grizzlies fan, I thank the basketball gods that we got the 2nd pick, and Ja Morant instead of Zion. of course back then I was sad we missed out on Zion but after now? no. Zion played 85 games his first 3 seasons... Greg Oden played 105 in his first 3 seasons 😄 Ja will definitely have the better career when its said and done. Ja already led his team to the 2nd best record in the NBA while Zions pretty much already missed 2 full seasons.
Somehow, everything you said was false. Ja is the most overrated player in the NBA right now, ain’t no way your telling me he’s gonna finish his career better than Zion. It’s not Zions fault he played 85 games... he wanted to play and the pelicans didn’t allow him. Zion is the next Shaq. Mark my words.
You could’ve honestly made this video with Ben as the sole example and not Zion, cause Zion did say he wanted to play but you made an assumption regardless and overdramatized his situation moving forward. He’ll be back
Milan Radojkovic yeah i dont think people actually believe that Ben’s back is having trouble…. coming from someone with back issues, i have to believe he may actually be in pain.. That said, i think that he has some mental issues honestly…. i believe it’s anxiety, possibly depression. He seems traumatized by the people who criticize him for the way he plays with his lack of shooting in this era of shooting. Whatever it is, if his employer is allowing him to be paid still then people shouldnt have any criticism since they have the most insight and firsthand information, so it must be legit.
@@killerjunior2587 What makes you so special for him to heart and comment? 😩 I’ve been supporting him for like more than 5 years and I’ve never gotten such thing 💔
Pelicans have no incentive to rush him back. They have a blossoming future superstar, solid roleplayers, and a very good coach. I hope Zion comes back healthy and shuts down all the slander.
Who is their blossoming future superstar? Surely you’re not talking about Zion, he’s not blossoming by any definition of the word. Outside of him, I can’t think of anyone on that team with superstar potential.
@@georockmann7113 what is there positive to say? I think it’s sad to see all these ppl with false hope/delusions about Zion. Just trying to be a dose of reality
I think not a lot of people look at the owners who are content with just having a "name value" on their team to put butts in seats but actually have no intention of making moves that would make teams actually contend. Like what the 76ers did to AI when there were players available that could have made the 76ers go to the Finals again. As long as you got owners that go "Why should I pay extra money when the guy we got already sells out arenas?" while the team goes nowhere. You should have players that can go "Nope, bump that, I want to play for a team and organization that's actually trying to win and willing to spend to even attempt to get the right players here. Why do people gotta wait till they are in their mid 30s before they say "Well alright.. it's fine if Lillard left the Trailblazers now." why the heck should a player waste nearly a decade of their career for a team or FO that isn't even concerned with EVER contending for a Championship. I guarantee if more first round picks gave their teams 4 years to turn their team into one that can make it into the 2nd or 3rd round of the Playoffs a LOT of teams you watched wallow for 10+ seasons will SOMEHOW find the money/resources to bring in actual talent that makes their team not be a first round hopeful/exit every season. If every FO knew they had 4 years to become a contender or their rookie star is leaving.. watch how many teams SUDDENLY start figuring out how to run a team, knowing they can't depend on ticket sales off the back of this one player for a near decade before they are looking elsewhere. Shaq left Orlando after 4 seasons and signed a max contract with the Lakers. BEST decision of his career. And the NBA THRIVED.
Should also note, this isn't new. Kobe fell to the teens because he would only play for the Lakers. Steve Francis (#2 overall) outright refused to play for the Grizzlies. NFL players do this all of the time too (Eli Manning anyone?)
Zion said repeatedly that he love playing with the Pels. The Media think they could control where players could go! This is getting ridiculous at this point
Has anyone thought the Pelicans might have an insurance policy covering Zion's injury that doesn't vest if he plays 1 game? I know that's a thing in baseball.
I have heard he wanted to play but the front office and the rest didn't think he should. Also when looking at him on the court side it seemed like Zion desperately wanted to be playing
If you’re Zion you 100% sign the extension. Because you can always jus demand a trade in 2 years. Which wouldn’t surprise me at all. That’s the NBA now. Contracts mean nothing besides the amount of $$
as a suns fan if he was fully healthy I doubt he would have refused to play. maybe he didn't want to risk it like booker did in game 6, he could have easily tore his acl which is the reason I wouldn't have wanted him to risk him and why he was on a minute restriction. though that pwlicans team is going to be scary with zion or if they trade him and getting good pieces for him
Not sure how impressive Zions shooting percentage is. He dunks and dunks and maybe does a lay up and dunks some more. If he didn't have a very high ts% it would just mean he doesn't have the hand-eye coordination to play in the nba
People talking about players sitting out and wasting the fans money, but teams have tanked entire seasons just to win the lottery. The whole player empowerment thing stems from the organizations being able to get away with shit players can't. A player can be traded like its nothing, but a player forcing the trade is crazy? It wouldn't even be forced if they just had the option. All the moves shroud how horrible soem of these organizations really are. Most of em are looking for quick ways to win instead of developing players or an actual winning culture. Bad owners and GMs across the map.
IF you do this in the NFL they fine you and then time on contract does not count so if you started with 3 years left on your contract then you still have three years left next year.
Man... You never failed to surprise me with fantastic stuff. Please do another what if episode on what would have happened if Kevin Garnett had joined the Lakers instead of the Celtics in 2008.
CJ will go down as one of the best players in NBA history never to be an All-Star. He’d possibly have won 6MOY multiple times if he were coming off the bench (so I guess there may still be time)
Honestly I think this drama by the end has shown almost the entirety of NBA media to have egg on their face. Zion is a quiet dude, so when he was quiet(while also being in a bad mental state the man said it himself, and focusing on healing injury’s) the NBA freaked the fuck out. Honestly I think a lot of big name NBA writers and analysts should take this has a lesson to not overreact to a players silence, not everybody is a LeBron who will make some big announcement when the slightest things happen(no offense to Bron). The Pelicans are a team that doesn’t have shit talkers on them, the closest is Alvorado. Looking at there team they feel like the Shaq and Kobe Lakers with the Tim Duncan Spurs mindset, and that is fucking scary.
He's only played a total of 85 games in 3 seasons. His numbers could be inflated because he never plays. Lets see him play 70 games in a season and then let's see how good he is. I hope he plays soon either way though.
Even if and that's a HUGE if Zion gets back on the court and is back to peak Zion form, his playstyle and body frame will only be good for 3-5 years. There is no chance he's a long lasting star at that level going into the future. I would bet an all star for 3-5 then a roll player going forward
@@georockmann7113 he never said “imagine if Jordan didn’t age”, he said “imagine if (he) never retired”. Not sure how you mistook one for the other. He could age, just not retire.
Though I get where you're coming from; you completely oversimplified this ordeal. Zion has stated he's wanted to play. Pelicans just don't want to risk his injury.
I can't get over the fact that this dude got a sneaker deal and put on the 2K cover before he even played 40 regular season games.

I think he will be convinced into staying by Herb Jones and Jose Alvarado's play.
It’s going to be an amazing decade for basketball
I don’t see what that has to do with this video since Zion won’t be apart of it.
@@WinedandDined27 lmao just say you hate Zion and move on. You're a goof bud
As an Oregonian I can confirm the correct pronunciation is Or-E-gen
People talking about players sitting out and wasting the fans money, but teams have tanked entire seasons just to win the lottery.
The whole player empowerment thing stems from the organizations being able to get away with shit players can't. A player can be traded like its nothing, but a player forcing the trade is crazy? It wouldn't even be forced if they just had the option.
All the moves shroud how horrible soem of these organizations really are. Most of em are looking for quick ways to win instead of developing players or an actual winning culture. Bad owners and GMs across the map.
IF you do this in the NFL they fine you and then time on contract does not count so if you started with 3 years left on your contract then you still have three years left next year.
This means nothing. "When he is on the court" is the key statement. Anyone can bend numbers to make them fit a narrative.
Man... You never failed to surprise me with fantastic stuff. Please do another what if episode on what would have happened if Kevin Garnett had joined the Lakers instead of the Celtics in 2008.
My man Drein!!!

@@MikeKorzemba Man it's an honor, been watching since 2020, love your videos especially the What if series, keep going!!!
He'll sign the extension for financial security and then ask for a trade
Of course he is willing to sign that contract
#exactly
Did you watch his interview? That man is not leaving for years. No team would have a better roster.
At this point, Zion is probably the 3rd best player on this team. This team is a perfect fit for him but if he can't stay healthy or adapt his game...
Mike talk more about Ben I'll be intrigued when you do
CJ will go down as one of the best players in NBA history never to be an All-Star. He’d possibly have won 6MOY multiple times if he were coming off the bench (so I guess there may still be time)
he has an MIP
He literally choked the game against the suns
Even when zion is healthy ingram should be the number one option
Dude is Ben Simmons all over again
Mike, you should do a video about Jalen Brunson. He's amazing.
Unfortunatelly,he will never be able to play more then 40-45 games per season. PERIOD.
Imagine the pelicans make it to the finals and that's when they debut Zion!
I KNOW SOME PEOPLE ESPECIALLY PELICAN FANS WILL LOSE THEIR MINDS! LOL
Honestly I think this drama by the end has shown almost the entirety of NBA media to have egg on their face. Zion is a quiet dude, so when he was quiet(while also being in a bad mental state the man said it himself, and focusing on healing injury’s) the NBA freaked the fuck out.
Honestly I think a lot of big name NBA writers and analysts should take this has a lesson to not overreact to a players silence, not everybody is a LeBron who will make some big announcement when the slightest things happen(no offense to Bron). The Pelicans are a team that doesn’t have shit talkers on them, the closest is Alvorado. Looking at there team they feel like the Shaq and Kobe Lakers with the Tim Duncan Spurs mindset, and that is fucking scary.

He's only played a total of 85 games in 3 seasons. His numbers could be inflated because he never plays. Lets see him play 70 games in a season and then let's see how good he is. I hope he plays soon either way though.
Even if and that's a HUGE if Zion gets back on the court and is back to peak Zion form, his playstyle and body frame will only be good for 3-5 years. There is no chance he's a long lasting star at that level going into the future. I would bet an all star for 3-5 then a roll player going forward
The Pelicans literally just went through the same thing w AD 🤦🏾♂️
Imagine if Zion never got injured and played this year
Imagine if Jordan was still playing......u see how stupid that sounds
@@Eighty5iveProd What a stupid comparison. Imagining if an event didn't happen is completely different than imagining that people wouldn't age
@@georockmann7113 he never said “imagine if Jordan didn’t age”, he said “imagine if (he) never retired”. Not sure how you mistook one for the other. He could age, just not retire.
@@WinedandDined27 And what would be the point of that? What would be the point of imagining a 60 year old playing?
Players are turning into Karen's for real. If I was paid this much, I'd play with a broken leg.
Though I get where you're coming from; you completely oversimplified this ordeal. Zion has stated he's wanted to play. Pelicans just don't want to risk his injury.
I thought the title was about Ben 💀
