We definitely need a story on Ja Morant. His story is like something you’d see in a basketball movie, just unbelievable. Went from no offers to NBA all star
I would have drafted him 1st overall, I knew NOLA made a mistake doing that. And yet, the whole front office was jumping for joy when they drafted him. I saw this coming…
@@kevinfinnerty8414 it's also a FACT that the Grizzlies set a franchise record 11 game win streak once Morant was back in the lineup, winning 14 of 19 games🤔🤔 but they're "better without him"🤣🤣
Zion can still come back. I mean in high school when he was like 260 pounds the dude was jumping 50 inches in the air. If he can get back to that it’ll be scary
He’s damaging his body the way he’s treating it. Not sure if he’s already done too much to ever reach his physical HS/college potential even if he decided to start caring now. Speculation, bc I don’t know his medicals. But he’s sustaining preventable injuries if he treated himself right
He has money now, incentives gone, he loves food more than he wants to be a great basketball player. Think he’d like to buy restaurants more than make the Hall of Fame. Life decisions, what a talent, hope he wakes up.
He maturing into his adult Body, he ain't getting That weight off easily. It's a fight against nature for him. There's a reason players like him aren't in the NBA. Stop comparing him to Barkley, whom was built more like PJ Tucker when he was young (that was considered huskies back in those Days).
It’s the opposite actually. Dudes like Kevin Durant were maturing into their adult body when they came in. Zion’s had an adult body since he was like 13.
@@historybuff1017 No Sir, It doesn't work like that. More developed than Average 👍🏿, but the end of HIS Maturity 👎🏿 Your body consistently changes resulting in Death...unless he has Sword and mentored by Sean Connery.
He always made me think of Shawn Kemp, slamming the ball emphatically and playing so explosive. I was hoping he’d at least have had more time before he just got too heavy though. Kemp got too big as well, but at least we got to see him fly in the NBA for awhile. Hoping/rooting for Zion to turn it around.
I never thought about that that’s a great comparison only thing is Kemp got big late in his career it was already over for him but Zion too young he needs to get in shape
@@gradyjackson1492 Kemp was also 6'10, a weak side shot blocker on Defense and Actually Dunked over 7footers. Nothing like Zion. Are you'll 12 years Old?
Biggest Hype Job of All Time...there a reason players like him aren't in the NFL. There are more athletic player his size playing in the NFL, he just has a more refined 🏀 game.
Lebron avg 27 PTS 7 Rebs and won state in Ohio vs Altar a school known for football and has a few hundred kids per grade it isn't Division 1 the biggest schools in Ohio. Zion avg 36 & 13.
I've seen it before... some people have just been burnt out on the game they play for a while, like, since high-school in some cases, and they just want to get to the pro level, make some money to take care of their family and them for a while, and just get out. I think that's the case with him.
I think he’s doing what Khawi did in San Antonio. He’s taking his time and will come back when he feels ready. I think he won’t miss a step and will come back even better
I am from upstate SC and was actually living in Spartanburg when Zion was doing his thing there. It was insane and ive never seen that kind of hype around a high school kid before iml.
1000000% with you on the RJ Barrett take lol. Never forget the game in ncaa tourney where Zion basically didn’t touch the ball down the stretch cuz RJ was trying to play hero ball lol
I used to live in Spartanburg SC. He used to go to Spartanburg day high school. Lines were insane for those games. If u didn’t get there right after school let out ur not getting into the game.
BTW- yes, that is my real name. And my Dad did have game back in HS... but that was the late 1950s, and, even then, there wasn't much of a market for 5'10" power forwards. :)
zion is from my town and i saw what he did at his games. he was unbelievable, but also kevin garnett is from here as well and it seems it will end up with him being the better player in the long run.
I still have faith. This is how we were feeling about Joel not too long ago and he managed. It’s gonna be a massive uphill battle for him but I truly hope he does decide to put in the work and come back with a vengeance.
Matt can you make a video about jhonny football? I remember watching when he beat alabama. he was a goat in college hes basically like thr mikey version now (for people that dont know Manziel) i know we was a party animal but there has to be more behind it
A couple things, back in 2016-2017 I don’t remember anyone ranking Zion ahead of RJ coming out of high school (looked at the ranks: Rivals 5, 247Sports 7, & ESPN 2) dude had massive hype, definitely the most of everyone that year, but it was a pretty consensus rank that he wasn’t the top prospect of the time. Two, I think it’s pretty clear what’s going on, he just flat out doesn’t want to be in New Orleans. You could literally see it on his face that he was majorly disappointed when New York didn’t win the draft lottery, he’s doing everything he can to force his way out of town/sabotage his stint with the Pelicans. But hey that’s just my opinion.
If you have been following Zion’s career so far You know that their have been a lot of rumors about Zion not loving New Orleans and wanting to go to the Knicks. So a running NBA conspiracy theory is that Zion is purposefully staying out of shape so he doesn’t need to put miles on his body so he can eventually play out his rookie deal without signing a max extension, taking the qualifying offer and then leaving the Pelicans as an unrestricted free agent.
You read my mind. I definitely think it all has to do with wanting to end up in NY. I don't expect to see him play much or at all. Which stinks because he's a beast. I'll be watching the Knicks roster closely around the time Zions contract with the pels is nearing its end.
6:15 It's just that. You 've got a fully developped goliath from one side vs average joes on the other. As fair as for an adult to compete with kids. Playing close to the basket without having anyone to stop you, will obviously boost your stats....
Ppl could always exercise the upper body and core when they have a lower extremity injury. Being injured doesn’t give one an excuse for getting out of shape if that person of a professional athlete. I don’t care if he is a big guy and eats a lot, weight gain comes down to the macros.
Zion is efficient because he dont shoot how could you not have a high scoring percent if all you do is dunks and layups thats why he hurt the nba players wasn't havin him coming in over and over he started getting hammered in the paint
Honestly zion may just be depressed. I mean basketball is all he's ever known and now hes hurt. He might have lost himself and just started eating alotta good food. Im abt his height little bigger i weight abt 40 pounds less then his listed weight. Honestly thats what i did when i was told i couldn't play sports. I've since bounced back. But i hope nothin but the best for the man. A solution when he does comeback if he has a weight problem may just be helping him design a diet of healthy things he'd wanna eat
Even tho some of them are cover stories but as a former athlete sports puts a lot on ur body imagine running jumping etc all day everyday they can fix broken bones and pop hips back into place but the damage is still done and injuries are often recurring...
I think the best comp might be Joel Embiid. The difference of course is when Jojo had his injury issues, he studied the game of basketball. And then he built upon his early success by getting better and better and better until finally he's one of the best players in the league. I think a lot of players are content to coast on their ability, but the truly great ones build upon it. It's not as easy as it looks.
If the Pelicans can get a top 10 lottery guy and New Yorks pick plus julius Randle...I feel like they will do the trade. Zion to New York for Randle, 2 first rounders with this next pick being a unprotected lottery selection, the next one will be top 10 or 12 protected. The Pelicans will have 2 lottery picks this year and Julius Randle. Next year or the one after will be the first round selection they pair with their own to move up if a player is worth it. Like you said, Bronny hits the NBA after 2 seasons so they might take the selection year after next to get Bronny and sign Lebron. The Pelicans may do that.
Randle ain't coming back, and the pressure from the Nike Hype Job on Zion is over. No GM in right mind would want an undersized/overweight injury prone Diva.
People need to compare Zion to Kenny Lofton Jr. Kenny is a sophomore at Louisiana Tech. He is listed at 6'7" and 275 lbs. Kenny looks 300 lbs to me he is not a high flyer but guys be bouncing off of him. Kenny might make it to the NBA.
Zion is overweight in a league where health and endurance is almost a protocol. He's not really NBA mental just yet. The NBA is a different world from college...
Kinda get the RJ hype in college seem like he was going to be a bigger Jimmy Butler and Zion took a lil brother role when it came to him playing with RJ and RJ was the leader of that team
They should shut him down for this season because even if his foot heals completely by the end of march, being 300 plus lbs at 6 foot 6 or 7 is not basketball shape.
I believe why Zion is so special, he is so athletic even with his height and weight. Me I'm 14 and 5'10 which is only average for basketball but I'm already slow as a turtle
I don't see him being his old self anymore. Just look at the way he walks, his knees is suffering. Forgot trying to get back on the court. Please fix your walk. My uncle had the exact same walk and it ruined his knees that spread to his hips. 3 surgerys later he now mostly moves around in a wheelchair because the pain.
I thought it was obvious what would happen to him. 300 lbs. hitting the floor from 3 - 3 1/2 ft. over and over is hard on the body. He needs to drop serious weight to not be back in the same boat.
I believe the pelicans and the fans put too much pressure on that young man and he couldn't handle it. Look how hard he worked during high School and college it's almost like he never had a break since childhood so when he did have an injury, minor as it was he was able to relax for the first time in many years. People forget he is still a young man and not a season ed professional like others to be a role model. And how good were the players surrounding him? Did he have the support from his team to be a leader? The man just needed the rest from all them years of working and working and people don't see that
How disappointing, I hate Duke guy's but loved watching him play. But I gotta say, drafting a big man #1 overall is not a good idea considering the history of big men failing ie:Greg Oden, Sam Bowie are just 2 examples
Sam Bowie wasnt that horrible, though. He would have a solid season between injuries. Although, he had a serious red flag injury history in college that should have scared teams off until about mid-rd. (No, i dont think Portland should have taken Jordan because they already had Drexler and no one really could expect which one of the 2 would be better at that time).
His career is starting off kinda like embiids, I totally forgot about Zion, but he plays like a hybrid of Shaq, Barkley, and Kemp. Zion will be a beast when he comes back, that big 3 in New Orleans would be so interesting
We definitely need a story on Ja Morant. His story is like something you’d see in a basketball movie, just unbelievable. Went from no offers to NBA all star
No offers? You need to do some research man
He had one offer
@@actionjackson1293 his only offers were some d3 schools and getting literally no playing time at South Carolina, so basically no offers

FORGET about Zion. Ja Morant is and truly was the "future" of the NBA from that draft class💯💯
Nah I’m sorry nobody from Memphis will ever be the face of the nba
Zion not done not at all. He just needs to get his head on straight and get in shape. He can still be one of the best.

A player working out away from the team... ask a Spurs fan about Kawhi Leonard and his uncle.
How am I just realizing zeek from ghost was Zion Williamson lol
So......what do you'all have to say NOW???!!!!!
You can bet Zion didn't have gastirc bypass surgery, but he definitely needs it!
Zion Williamson : remember when he BLEW RIGHT OUT OF HIS NIKES??😂😂😂 JUST A 100 PERCENT BEEEAST!!
His career is starting off kinda like embiids, I totally forgot about Zion, but he plays like a hybrid of Shaq, Barkley, and Kemp. Zion will be a beast when he comes back, that big 3 in New Orleans would be so interesting
His knees and ankles were never going to be able to keep up with his athleticism and size.
