this is so true
yes. get him out of the league
SHOULD'VE NVR PAID HIM N MAKE HIM EARN A CONTRACT
Exactly!
ZION AND JA ARE BOTH LOST SOULS PLAYING IN THE NBA I BLAME KANYE IRVING
They should get Paul pierce on here
He’s a kid. Simply don’t give him all that $$ until he earns it.
Bust Williamson
The nba topics are dry…. Y’all keeping talking about Zion… but time he starts dunking over everybody y’all will be on his bandwagon-
Ja and Za smh AAU teammates and now messing up
Bro focused on onlyfans
They need to just trade this man this all they talk about if he don’t want to put in the work just trade him
we aren’t moving on from Zion as a Pels fan. He’s a 1 of 1 generational type player averaging 26 points 7 rebounds and 4 assist on 60%. Of course him not playing is hurting the fanbase but real fans aren’t giving up on bro. It’s honestly ridiculous how media tries to force him out of New Orleans just to get him in a different market. Of course we want better from him but he’s 22! We we’re first seed in the west without Brandon Ingram playing in that stretch. The moves we’ve made by trying to re-invent our medical staff all but says he’s not going anywhere.
Dude spoke the gospel lol
This man was the #1 overall pick and has to pay for women. Talk about having no game
Zion has natural talent/disposition to be athletic. But he lacks the discipline, self-control, and emotional intelligence to excel. The fact he can never get his weight under control is evidence. Dude could easily average 30 on 60%. He’s literally unstoppable like Shaq inside because he’s so physically imposing.
How is making bad life choices and hanging out with the wrong people a maturity problem but "not caring" NOT a maturity problem? Making bad life choices, hanging out with the wrong crowd, and putting yourself in compromising situations, is what not caring looks like.
He is so talented. I really hope he doesn't mess it up.
Dude cares more about getting 304 pregnant/moving them close to him/paying them to his girl, instead of working on his body and game
2:02 Ja & Zion need to be traded to Taiwan 🇹🇼
He should not have got a new contract and he is a social media hype player and he has not produced enough to geta contract he got
Zion DOESN'T WANT TO BE THERE. How much more obvious does he need to make it……. did we all forget his face once he got picked by NO? Yea I highly doubt his feelings have changed
Amnesty Both Ja & Zion looking like the move for these organizations…. There’s plenty of players out here that’ll do a better job and respect game.
Get rid of these little boys, make them go to college for 3yrs minimum and draft them when they’re mentally ready.
The mentally unready will play in the g league and develop
To be fair does any superstar wants to be in New Orleans ????
Louis is 1000 percent correct. You can't tell me that Zion cares when he doesn't. If someone shows you who they are believe them.
I like how the sports media has zero news so they're trying to talk a Zion trade into existence 😂
Dang. Where yall pulled riddick from. Last time I saw that dude was when he was making fun of Sabonis for faking a chest injury.
Espn needs more talking heads yelling.
💯
Who was a worse pick ja or Zion 💀 both ultra talented but can’t get out of their way.
I knew a 275 pound dunker and nothing else would not last long and he 6,6
Thank you for making this video. I am a baseball fan, but I do follow the NBA during playoff time. Zion has made the news lately for his weight and sense of motivation. All have been negative 😞
People like Zion are so ungrateful…. It’s players across this Nation and across The globe that’ll do anything to be in his position….
Self sabotaging and not staying in peak form all because you don’t wanna play for New Orleans???? Give back all The money you took from the organization, sponsors and investors.
How dare people like Zion are allowed to move like this?? Only in America, because go do this same mess in Euroleague, Russia, Saudi Arabia and even in the Taiwan… you’ll be out.
Make these kids go to college for 3 years like the NFL, they come out stupider every year
Louis Riddick just hit a grand slam
He does not want to be there
Preach! 💥👏🏾
I always like Louis & he tell his like it’s. I agree with him a 110%. 😊
Who zion likes to have in his bed shouldnt have any bearings when we've seen athletes lay with any and every woman before. Now if its another season of him in and out the lineup cause of injuries you bite it and make the move
That time of the year everyone says the same thing over and over again 👍🏻
Media is so hard pressed on getting Zion out of New Orleans cause it's a small market team, they do this all the time.
As a small market team fan for most my life if the Zion trade were to happen you should take nothing less of what Minny paid for Gobert and more tbh.
Honestly I don't see a star for star trade happening for the caliber of a player Zion is when healthy because the only one I'd really put at Zion's level is Luka tbh.
I also feel like Zion is actually doesn't even want to be in New Orleans as he's stated before, and possibly a main reason why he's shown so little interest in staying healthy diet & training wise.
Hope he doesn't end up into another Marvin Bagley story, but that's completely up to him.
