    If he stays healthy do you think Zion could win MVP next year?

    Also, sorry for the intro video playing again in the middle of the show for some reason.

  2. jeffery fennix

    It is a start. I see better than I can hear! Rick just need something to talk about. LBJ did not have go to move and a consistent jumper, but they hail him as King. Scoot is hurt already. Griff said Zion was never going to be traded and nether was BI. Fake news!!!!!!!!!!

    I’m liking karlos actively on defense. If we didn’t get Cody zeller as our back up I wouldn’t mind him playing for us this season

  6. Trail Mountain

    I'm sorry if im not excited but we heard this drum beat before. Zion will play when zion feels like it. It's almost as bad when embiid threw his teammates under the bus. Win or lose your team needed you last year.

    I think the Come to Jesus Moment for Zion was when he realized the Pelicans felt he was tradeable, and the rest of the NBA didn't fall over themselves to get him.

    I don't feel he needs a bunch of new shots in his bag. Just three; a 10 ft Pullup jumper, a 10 ft turnaround fallaway, and 80% free throw shot.

  11. Rauk

    If Zion can stay healthy and the team is winning, Zion will get MVP.

  12. A.G. Porter

    Jake, Brockington had a season ending injury in workout for the Pelicans last year. Is he on a minutes restriction?

  15. Kevin Lakeman

    Wow, what a sucker. You think words are gonna make a difference just cuz it's what you want to hear? Better take the hook outta yer mouth. This guy might win mvp at a hot dog eating tournament, but not the NBA.

  16. Kevin Byers

    Once again Jake, I appreciate your objective reporting on Zion. I have been an unabashed hater of Zion the past couple of years. It is not because he has been hurt….it is because he has shown no signs of taking the steps to get in the proper shape or engage his teammates/organization to change the narrative. Recent reports show signs of a NEW NARRATIVE. If true I am willing to reconsider my stance. Regardless, it is a shame it has taken this long to get to this point. Where has management/coaching been previously to get him to this point?

  19. Reid Wilson

    He found out that the big market teams and new York didn't really love him like he thought and now he's realizing the pels see him as just another prospect and if he can't produce then they're not going to keep on paying him max money if he's not going to act like a leader and mature adult on and off the court

  20. coldJoker92

    You keep saying there was talk around Zion trade talks despite someone like Woj saying the opposite. What have you heard?

  23. Craig K

    This is the year for Zion. He has to show us something. I am tired of hearing him talk, I want his actions on the court to shut everyone up.
