😂 Gentry is so mad at his players. The boys just want to have fun and they keep feeding him so he doesn't get subbed out. Shout out to Lonzo for taking charge.
I wouldn't call it selfless. He's playing to his strengths. IMO the most selfless thing he does is take the shots. Those are the risk. That is when he is putting himself out there. Assisting is what he is most comfortable doing. I prefer him to stay out of his comfort zone. He has been playing a lot better getting used to contributing in different ways. Now he is back lobbing. It's great true pg play, but if he can average that 18 point double double and some rebounds, he can be an engine.
gambler's fallacy. Statistics show that there is no evidence of "hot streaks" in the NBA. Players are not more likely to make a bucket after making a previous one, they're actually less likely.
@@carlsmith4568 "hot streaks" are simply when players continue to do well, and or outstandingly well after having done so for a given amount of time. Not the chance they have to continue that, therefore statistics can't prove shit.
Getting blocked in close quarters like that and still getting your own offensive rebound against like 3 other dudes coming the help is crazy. On a debut too when you’re supposed to be nervous and shaky, he was simply automatic throughout every movement.
@@eazythedon54st doesn't matter if he was open. He was coming off an injury and played well. Its about building his confidence after missing games due to his injury. But I see you commented on a post that's how old....
I understand wanting to keep him healthy but Zion played much better when he actually stayed on the court longer than 3-4 minutes at a time and developed a rhythm.
I mean his conditioning isn't very good right now. Dude was gassed after the first 4 minutes in the first 2 quarters, completely out of breathe and sweating like he ran a marathon. His adrenaline didn't kick in until he 4th quarter once he started getting buckets. He'll be fine in a month of playing and he'll work his way up to at least 26-30 min.
That's the aspect of his athleticism that's the most underrated. He's VERY quick with his feet and also his jumps, he can get up again super fast after his initial jump without a pump or gather which is how he gets putbacks and rebounds so well.
Trouble 79 up and down the floor hes moving pretty slowly, probably on the orders of the coaching staff not to over exert himself, but in terms of footwork and quick, sharp movements he is deceptively fast. You saw it on that rebound after he got blocked, the way he exploded to grab his own rebound and was up with the putback in no time.
@QUESTION EVERYTHING ? Shut up 🤦♂️ why do little kids feel the need to talk on social media believe me no one gives a shit about what you have to say.
Man I remember when we first got to see Lebron play here in Cleveland. Man I'm excited for you guys in New Orleans! You definitely have a once in a generation type of talent there!
While i thought this was thoroughly impressive, I feel like we are getting a little beyond ourselves. How about Antetokounmpo? His been unstoppable for years now and only getting better
@@mitchellgrace5087 that's not his point. Giannis didnt come into the league with the same hype. Zion did. Both players can become generational players but the hype between are miles apart on their rookie years
I understand hype but it can let you down also, whats to say he isnt the next Larry Johnson and gets an injury to end his career then he becomes the next 'what If'. I think you're missing my point RL30, I would rather take someone that has already been proven and continues to prove themselves over someone that has the potential to be the next greatest
I hope I'm wrong and this kid keeps this going but I will continue to be a skeptic until I see this for at least a few years, hopefully he gets fitter and more fearless to become even more threatening but I've been let down before from hype and I wouldn't be surprised if it happens again
@@mitchellgrace5087 I feel you. I know I'm not the only one that sees because of his size and extreme athleticism he looks injury prone. 300 pound man with feet coming 4 foot off the ground. Human body isn't made to take that type of stress on a regular basis. Hope I'm wrong though.
Gonna put this one. "Look at Zion blow past Patty Mills and break his ankles! Oh shit look like Aldridge wants some to! GET YOUR BITCH ASS OUT THE WAY!"
He shut that bust talk in a hurry. I'm glad he had a big night, Zion seems like a cool dude. Hope he does well. He's not going to hit like that from three every night, but it's a confidence boost.
Bo Rood Zion is the man. I’m from New Orleans and he’s showing up to random high school basketball games and hanging out with fans and kids. So cool. I really hope he lives up to the hype. So happy as a fan rn.
@Mr BuzzKill I agree with you health is important a lot of greats in the nba weren't healthy, I mean look at lebron he spends thousands of money on health and he's still dominating in the league at his age that is incredible, if zion stays healthy he could be the next king for awhile competing with Ja of course.
- ItzTheEnd - he spends at least a million a year on his health, and people think he’s washed up when LeBron plays bad but he just coasts and does load management until the playoffs when he turns up. I’m not a LeBron fan but anybody can tell the man is a really smart guy
I mean.. it was cool, but he just shot threes. when I saw he scored 17 straight I was thinking he was just dominating people, but no, he was just on a hot streak from outside where no one was contesting him.
Tanner Marcus He needs to be clowned. A rookie has more threes made in one game than he does at this point in the season. He needs to grow up and let it fly (even if he only makes 33%) because if he doesn’t the team will never win big.
Sas today: “Zion can’t lead a team to a championship” Sas tomorrow: “Zion can absolutely lead a team to a championship and it’s egregious for anyone to think otherwise”

Not even a quarter. It was literally 3 minutes. A quarter of a quarter. I didn't like the obssesive media hype surrounding him but the kid is super talented. Hope he stays healthy and plays the best basketball he can.
@@apurvashanker Bruh he won't shoot better than 30% from 3 this year. He had one of those games where everything fell but he's a well below average 3pt shooter and will be for a while
A H cause you know the future. Ok buddy. Its ok to say he wont be a good 3 point shooter for a while but dont act like its improbable for him to shoot 33% when he just hit 4/4 on 3s. U dont know what he’s been working on since the injury.
😂😂😂 u couldn't have put that n-e better. Zion is a beast n that paint but I'm glad he's been perfecting his jump shot during his off x. This makes him even more of a threat unlike Ben Simmons who has a 1 dimensional game & that's strictly n the paint. It's sad but Ben Simmons isn't gonna last long w/the Sixers w/that style of play excellent floor general but that's about it...
Word. It's the beginning of a fun era all over again. Reminiscent of the 90s era in this young man. He said he watches jordan highlights plus he plays hungry. Zion and Morant are single handedly making the NBA fun again. Thanks fellas. Also ...if the nba brings back early 90s rules I will scream and cry. Then we can finally see if the nba can be interesting again. Then trading cards, commercials, etc......wishful thinking but seriously though we need to all petition for the NBA to bring back these rules . I can assume that the commissioner of the league wants to bring it back as well. C'mon commish....bring it back for your true fans of the sport . think about it....onve the rules are implemented back into the league. Then the players will play aggressive and with more passion. Games would be closer in score and down to the wire. There is so much money to be made with teams that are mediocre to be in good down to the wire games . everyone ia standing around so with thw 90s rules people would be forced to move around and the big man role would be more proficient.
@4 Kingss , You definitely missing the point here homie we focuses on zion for now, come on its literally his 1st game back and you talking about how he cant close for the pels🤦🏾♂️💀💀
I was listening in the car and was screaming when they was saying “Zion Williamson is 4-4 from 3 point range” people looking at me like what the hells his problem!?
I grew up around and near Zion, he lived a few minutes away from me when I went to my aunts I'd see him every so often, never spoke to him but saw other people hanging out with him, genuine dude I see him every once in a while if he's in sc most of the time pretty sure he's here for his family.
Game on the line. The man wants to play and you pull the HOT Hand out? Oh cause the finals start tomorrow and Zion gotta be health and the last 5 mins of a game he could get hurt. Hell yeah Zo laughing
Those knees arent ready for this young man either unfortunately. Look at him coming up the court, hes way out of shape. Pels should bench him and have him focus on getting his body nba ready for next season.
@@slavisatosanovic4595 I kinda agree. Those knee injuries are serious. I hope he played because he legitimately felt ready vs. the doctors clearing him to play cause there is a huge different in that. Watching the Derrick rose documentary made everyone understand that
Josh Ola I’m tellin you as a Hawks fan, if you live in Atlanta, NYC, Chicago, Cleveland, or Phoenix, you are eating your fucking heart out right now. NOLA is the NBA’s most blessed franchise 🙌🏿
@@slavisatosanovic4595 What better way to get in NBA shape than to play in actual NBA games? Letting him sit will only contribute to him staying out of shape by not moving as much.. plus the impact he has on that team already. Let him play
Crazy. This actually reminded me of watching Kobe's 81-point game. He got on a streak in that one where he looked like he just couldn't miss, just like this. To do this in your rookie game is mind-boggling. Shame they pulled him.
@@Kevin-bu7nz I've watched since high school. He's clearly slower right now. Go and watch the full game and see how little he moves on defense,. And he's also heavier. By the time he left Duke, he was much thinner than his reported 285. Plus, even if what you say is true that doesn't prove that he can't get in elite shape with an NBA conditioning regimen.
I’m sorry, do you guys not understand the meaning of a joke? Wow guys chill, I know he just came back from a knee surgery I was just giving everyone something to laugh about 😩
this is one of the most entertaining nba debuts of all time PERIOD. a guy who’s known for his aggressive and powerful dunks just nails 4 three-pointers in a row and almost leads his team for the win
@@bloodscythe6489 yeah and he felt that then moved on like fucking MJ and said let's win this game. If he is going to get hurt by playing anything less than 40+ he shouldn't be out there period.
I remember going to work and checking the scoreboard and Zion is frozen in the first 3 quarters for like 5 minutes. I was like yeah he gonna take time to develop, it’s all good. Then I go home and I check the end scoreboard and he ends up with 21?! Damn one of the most 4th quarter come around remarkable rookie performances that I’ve seen.
Zion in high school: “haha let’s see him do that against college players” Zion in college: “haha let’s see him do that against NBA players” Zion in the NBA: “😳........haha let’s see him do that against God”
I have been waiting for this for long enough. I love everything about Zion. This guy is going to be an absolute beast. Shoots 3 pointers too?? oh man hes going to be a problem for other teams. He plays with so much confidence and it was his debut game. Imagine an entire season.
Yo, what was the point in saying that? I see this all the time, I get people like to troll and this ain't a big deal, but, this type of stuff is what is toxic about a lot of channels. I understand this was a joke and all, but, there is no point in saying stuff like that. Just putting it out there.
I'm not hurt at you or nothing, I just think that a lot of people online do this stuff too often, I'm not saying you in particular, but, I don't want the dude you replied to, to be starting an argument over a joke comment, as that's what makes communities toxic. Ya know?

@Nlmb Jmoney imagine you're 6'6-6'7 though and 285-275 pounds. He's saying that zion is insanley quick for someone that size, which he is, plus i doubt that you can do something even as simple as grabbing a board but still at that same athletic and explosive pace that he's at.
What a special moment for a special player. I love me some Zion! Hope he can stay healthy for the rest of his career. As a Mavs fan, I CANNOT wait to see Luka vs Zion 🔥🔥🔥
He will never ever guard Zion. He would only get embarrassed. Let him keep guarding the weak offensive players like he been doing. Zion outweighs him, but is way quicker and explosive. Luca never gone be a top defender. He need to keep shooting his jump shot. Don't come for Zion. He never seen his kind of talent.

How did he make more threes in 3 mins than Ben Simmons has all season SMH the future is very bright on this young man thank you basketball gods
Not just whole season but in ben simmons' whole career
michael collins was looking for this comment
Would still rather Ben over Zion anyday
If you taking ben over Zion you’re an idiot
Ben Simmons hasn't improved from his rookie season
The guy had more 3 pointers in a quarter than simmons’ whole career
Not even a quarter. It was literally 3 minutes. A quarter of a quarter.
I didn't like the obssesive media hype surrounding him but the kid is super talented. Hope he stays healthy and plays the best basketball he can.
@@apurvashanker Bruh he won't shoot better than 30% from 3 this year. He had one of those games where everything fell but he's a well below average 3pt shooter and will be for a while
A H cause you know the future. Ok buddy. Its ok to say he wont be a good 3 point shooter for a while but dont act like its improbable for him to shoot 33% when he just hit 4/4 on 3s. U dont know what he’s been working on since the injury.
@@CL-gd3ig ok sorry Mr fortune teller
@@CL-gd3ig didn't know you could see in the future dumbass
When you realize Zion has made more 3's in his first game than Ben Simmons in his entire career...... 🤣🤣
True
And in the 4th quarter alone 😂
4x more 3’s in 3 minutes
😂😂😂 u couldn't have put that n-e better. Zion is a beast n that paint but I'm glad he's been perfecting his jump shot during his off x. This makes him even more of a threat unlike Ben Simmons who has a 1 dimensional game & that's strictly n the paint. It's sad but Ben Simmons isn't gonna last long w/the Sixers w/that style of play excellent floor general but that's about it...
Chase Dinero great defender too🤨
He got MVP chants in his Debut. Legendary!
literally the biggest bust in sports history
@@ctaylor8003 Stop lying on the internet.

@@ctaylor8003 what did you say ma boo😂😂 he is on MVP run at the moment and 1st on his conference averaging 29pts😂😂

And I was there
But we left end of 3rd quarter to beat traffic 🤦🏽♂️
@@glo1168 Ooofff
Word. It's the beginning of a fun era all over again. Reminiscent of the 90s era in this young man. He said he watches jordan highlights plus he plays hungry. Zion and Morant are single handedly making the NBA fun again. Thanks fellas. Also ...if the nba brings back early 90s rules I will scream and cry. Then we can finally see if the nba can be interesting again. Then trading cards, commercials, etc......wishful thinking but seriously though we need to all petition for the NBA to bring back these rules . I can assume that the commissioner of the league wants to bring it back as well. C'mon commish....bring it back for your true fans of the sport . think about it....onve the rules are implemented back into the league. Then the players will play aggressive and with more passion. Games would be closer in score and down to the wire. There is so much money to be made with teams that are mediocre to be in good down to the wire games . everyone ia standing around so with thw 90s rules people would be forced to move around and the big man role would be more proficient.
Martin Staton Yep ja and Zion are the future !!
Nope
I can already hear Skips “mmmm” tomorrow morning
I'm not even gonna lie Zion proved me wrong tonight.💯💯🔥🔥🔥
You thought he was hype or what? Have you not watched this man play?
Same. I thought he was a just a highlight player like Andrew Wiggins.
This Zion coming back for 2022 🙏
"Zion gonna dunk on someone his debut"........shoots 3s
Everyone: "Who dunks like him??"
Zion: "Who said I dunk?"
gmmg bitch everybody said he dunk nigga
Im gay since Im responding to your comment but , it was a joke
One of the worst comments I've ever seen.

Everybody gangsta till Zion start draining 3s

Spurs got the W, wouldn’t have made a difference if they kept him in 😂
@@4_kingss Not even you believe that homie
LMAO
@4 Kingss , You definitely missing the point here homie we focuses on zion for now, come on its literally his 1st game back and you talking about how he cant close for the pels🤦🏾♂️💀💀
4:15 when Zion missed the free throw, I like how the commentators reminds everybody that he’s 4-4 from the 3 point line tho
When I go to the US in the next few years, I’m making it a MUST to watch Zion play live
I was listening in the car and was screaming when they was saying “Zion Williamson is 4-4 from 3 point range” people looking at me like what the hells his problem!?
Johnny Wolf Dalcour #bust
xFadedCyclone Gaming unboxing wtf do u mean
Chris Weng nobody knew zion had a good 3 pointer so that’s a bust some of the fans didn’t know
Clorox Bleach wait so someone who improved his three point shooting is a bust
Chris Weng nobody didn’t talk ab his 3, he just came out the blue with the ability yk
A performance for the ages Zion is everything and more, the zenith of hybrid energy
and a blessing
I grew up around and near Zion, he lived a few minutes away from me when I went to my aunts I'd see him every so often, never spoke to him but saw other people hanging out with him, genuine dude I see him every once in a while if he's in sc most of the time pretty sure he's here for his family.
Looks zion big in real?
@@hammeraffe Very large.
3:57 them guys laughing 😂😂 Zo knows what he up to...
Game on the line. The man wants to play and you pull the HOT Hand out? Oh cause the finals start tomorrow and Zion gotta be health and the last 5 mins of a game he could get hurt. Hell yeah Zo laughing
@@TC-uu8rh ok boomer
remember drose not brought out of the game?
@@kazuhasdog6300 I think you did it wrong
I’m so happy for him! I’m looking forward to seeing this man for many years! 🙏🏼
The league ain't ready for this young man, he wasn't even trying
Those knees arent ready for this young man either unfortunately. Look at him coming up the court, hes way out of shape. Pels should bench him and have him focus on getting his body nba ready for next season.
@@slavisatosanovic4595 I kinda agree. Those knee injuries are serious. I hope he played because he legitimately felt ready vs. the doctors clearing him to play cause there is a huge different in that. Watching the Derrick rose documentary made everyone understand that
Josh Ola I’m tellin you as a Hawks fan, if you live in Atlanta, NYC, Chicago, Cleveland, or Phoenix, you are eating your fucking heart out right now.
NOLA is the NBA’s most blessed franchise 🙌🏿
I think those are same knees he’s always played with. Stop hating.
@@slavisatosanovic4595 What better way to get in NBA shape than to play in actual NBA games? Letting him sit will only contribute to him staying out of shape by not moving as much.. plus the impact he has on that team already. Let him play
Crazy. This actually reminded me of watching Kobe's 81-point game. He got on a streak in that one where he looked like he just couldn't miss, just like this. To do this in your rookie game is mind-boggling. Shame they pulled him.
Imagine how good he'll be when he's actually in shape.
Round ain’t a shape??
- chuck Barkley
When he ll b in shape
he's always been in this shape
@@Kevin-bu7nz oh is it, then let's see how he plays, his career has just started, and other players ain't gonna give an easy pass to the basket.
@@Kevin-bu7nz I've watched since high school. He's clearly slower right now. Go and watch the full game and see how little he moves on defense,.
And he's also heavier. By the time he left Duke, he was much thinner than his reported 285. Plus, even if what you say is true that doesn't prove that he can't get in elite shape with an NBA conditioning regimen.
It’s moments like this that make the nba special 💯💯🔥
Is it just me that loves seeing lonzo playing in the pelicans? He is amazing rn
Playing free
This didn’t age well
Notable players in this video that moved
Lonzo: on the bulls
Demar: on the bulls
Zion: on his couch
Lonzo really said "nah" 😂😂 he got Zion going, they were going to win that game
#facts he made an 'on court' decision. Zion was on fire.
Lonzo+Zion is a crazy duo in the making. Add in Ingram, Holiday.... oh lord

JayronzHD X ingram wack
epakerd 😂😂😂 ummm sir
Coach be like:
Hey we’re winning and Zion scored 17 straight points!
Let’s take him out so we can lose
An Idiot Named Ibrahim took him out so he wouldn’t break brons rookie record smh
An Idiot Named Ibrahim or maybe it’s because he just came back from an injury and the coach values his players heath more then a regular season win
@@-_--kv1lv exactly, if you make this exception once, how many more "just one game"s are there going to be..
I’m sorry, do you guys not understand the meaning of a joke?
Wow guys chill, I know he just came back from a knee surgery I was just giving everyone something to laugh about 😩
Tssk what a dumb decision
this is one of the most entertaining nba debuts of all time PERIOD. a guy who’s known for his aggressive and powerful dunks just nails 4 three-pointers in a row and almost leads his team for the win
Him and Zo already have some excellent chemistry with each other . I think they should find a team to unload jrue holiday so Zo can be the main guard
Zo had chemistry with everyone
Zo is underrated
nah. this team needs jrue
Darnell fr
nah they good as a team a lotta fun shouldn’t always have to dump players to win just gotta keep working and growing togeather
"Evwee one has a plan...till Zion gets 17 points in thwee minutes."
-Mike Tyson
Uggl ahh Tru dat
By the end of this clip I started looking at Alvin Gentry, Pelicans Coach, as some evil villain for wanting to take this guy out.
Ethan Lavoie Medical staff told him to
Right, but they are trying to be overprotective too... last thing they want is zion getting injured in his first game.
Its just his debut bro. More games to come. They just want him to feel the atmosphere and mood of the crowd while playing in a big court.
@@bloodscythe6489 yeah and he felt that then moved on like fucking MJ and said let's win this game. If he is going to get hurt by playing anything less than 40+ he shouldn't be out there period.
Blood Scythe there was no reason to take him out. He could have won them this game
Even though this is a Zion highlight reel but I'm still so happy for lonzo, he's such a great point guard flying under the radar
Zion is special hope he can stay healthy 🙏🏼🙏🏼

xFadedCyclone Gaming unboxing he’s literally only played one game and had 22 😂
When’s the last time someone got MVP chants during their first game.
Probably never
I can't remember last time, that was special.
Ummm when I first played 2k20 I had 60 20 and 12 so I think me
tacko fall
caruso
0:25, is literally so explosive, can get to anywhere he wants.
I remember going to work and checking the scoreboard and Zion is frozen in the first 3 quarters for like 5 minutes. I was like yeah he gonna take time to develop, it’s all good. Then I go home and I check the end scoreboard and he ends up with 21?! Damn one of the most 4th quarter come around remarkable rookie performances that I’ve seen.
Mama there goes that man

I haven't been this hyped the entire season. I finally feel that thing the season was missing was zion.
Without question. You can say the same for Steph, Klay, & KD
Fernand G no, it’s been better without them
@@goead whether you love or hate them, they are box office, especially Steph
@Quiana true
@Quiana right... U cant fix stupid 😂😂😂
Zion in high school: “haha let’s see him do that against college players”
Zion in college: “haha let’s see him do that against NBA players”
Zion in the NBA: “😳........haha let’s see him do that against God”
Zion at Mt Olympus "haha let's see him do that against grade-school players"
Zion against God: .......Fuck it, blow it up
Lmao
More like "Let's see him do that against a team that plays defense" lol
lmao
I have been waiting for this for long enough. I love everything about Zion. This guy is going to be an absolute beast. Shoots 3 pointers too?? oh man hes going to be a problem for other teams. He plays with so much confidence and it was his debut game. Imagine an entire season.
If the pelicans could turn Zo into a good shooter, then how about Zion who already had (weird) but promising mechanics
ESPN gonna BLOWWWW Him tmrw. He deserves it tho mans a beast.
🤣 So TRUE!
True but I'm also here for it. Can't wait to see how Zion develops.
Nik Treezus I would to 😏
I Run Loyulties yum
He got MVP chants 😳
4:10
You just can't help yourself to laugh at how crazy that stretch is and the fact that Gentry tried to sub him out and retracted multiple times.
4:03.. I feel you dawg
Why was he smh tho
hjaurigue Medical staff was forcing him to pull Zion from the game, obv he didn't want to cuz the man was going off
Bryan Hernandez we need that lal vs Nola series
1:30 gahdayum.. I'm shook how this man got quick feet for his size.
Yo, what was the point in saying that? I see this all the time, I get people like to troll and this ain't a big deal, but, this type of stuff is what is toxic about a lot of channels. I understand this was a joke and all, but, there is no point in saying stuff like that. Just putting it out there.
I'm not hurt at you or nothing, I just think that a lot of people online do this stuff too often, I'm not saying you in particular, but, I don't want the dude you replied to, to be starting an argument over a joke comment, as that's what makes communities toxic. Ya know?
@Nlmb Jmoney imagine you're 6'6-6'7 though and 285-275 pounds. He's saying that zion is insanley quick for someone that size, which he is, plus i doubt that you can do something even as simple as grabbing a board but still at that same athletic and explosive pace that he's at.
Nlmb Jmoney bruh you really just came to a Zion video to comment some stupid shit and embarrass yourself.
@Nlmb Jmoney Bruh, the dude was just giving his opinion. There's no reason for you to be negative on that.
Zion vs Luka in the future. Rejoice, the Basketball Gods has blessed us.

He will never ever guard Zion. He would only get embarrassed. Let him keep guarding the weak offensive players like he been doing. Zion outweighs him, but is way quicker and explosive. Luca never gone be a top defender. He need to keep shooting his jump shot. Don't come for Zion. He never seen his kind of talent.
