zion loves to dunk on rudy its his favorite

He spent the entire end of that game just going after Rudy again and again. It was beautiful.

how does this guy play 34 mins and end a game with 3 rebounds lol. nice game tho

wow rudy gobert fanclub mad

im sure he doesnt have the energy for it but just zion driving on every play is a pretty good offense the other team would foul out and get physically destroyed, mb do it in the 4th quarter

27 drives for Zion last night and 31 points scored off of them! pic.twitter.com/o1Og8RKfJT

extremely sad

He's gonna be a daddy! Congratulations to Zion Williamson!!

haha yeah he uhhh has a lot going on in his personal life

this is so funny

if I were preternaturally athletic and very rich I would definitely be a locker room cancer but I’d be taking the zion/harden approach rather than the ja one

theres really no reason not to

the tweets about how she was motivating him to stay in shape are in perfect balance on the lol/sad axis

lmao

He did have some trouble with JJJ, but OK for opening night. Funny 23/7/3 on 9/17 is a mediocre night for him. Matt Ryan saved the day.

maybe the Wemby stuff will light a fire under him. can't feel good to lose the title of "everyone's favorite big boy"

our boy does not seem to have the right mindset for nba greatness.

probably not but he’s also playing for a franchise that seems hell bent on never putting the right team around its no 1 overall picks

wonder what hes mad about ive watched some pelicans this year and when he was in they were running a very zion based offense

hes getting just as many shots as last year but hitting them at 50% instead of 60

he and BI dont seem like a good fit.

idk bi is a pretty all purpose kind of player

why's he breathing like that when he's just sitting there

hes mad!

idk i had serious lung problems for years and that trips my "dude see a pulmonologist" wires but when you're a hammer etc

one would think with all the medical professionals looking at that guy all the time theyd catch anything major but also maybe not

i think hes a lost cause. 23 and already on the decline in every way

Pelicans "have repeatedly stressed to [Zion] Williamson that his diet and conditioning need to improve," but the former No. 1 pick "doesn't listen," per @cclark_13 of The Times-Picayune pic.twitter.com/sl4logTLz4

weird shit

he looks idk about ~75 lbs heavier than his duke days

the dawg in him got overfed

Watching Zion in person was a different experience than watching Haliburton. Zion will get 30 in a game next week and people will say he’s fine but he isn’t. The bet that he’ll figure it out seems like the wrong side now. Tonight was brutal.

many clips of him during the game standing around or just barely moving

there is also the quote from after the game where he said he was “too laid back” or something

saw a thing that said zion is back, guess he played himself into shape

Eye test says that’s not true

yeah still doesnt seem like he has that old pop but he is playing well, pelicans are running the point zion offense again which might have something to do with it, because thats a good offense

Still waiting for him to become an elite defensive player. When does that happen?

i dont think that was ever the plan

I went looking for receipts and found an opinion of mine so wrong I'm shook.
