Zion needs to understand that it’s cool that you can do all those crazy things at his current weight, but your body can’t handle it. Not with an NBA schedule. He gotta lose the weight. The other major problem is his focus and love for the game. Both are lacking. He’s made a lot of money that most of us will never see in our lives and he hasn’t even played that much. This is causing his motivation to be low. That has to also change or he will be out the league!
Keep these videos coming windy🤙
Favorite nba show now
The spurs new facility is going to have its own restaurant and bar😅
Those calling him a bust are mother fuckers, worst than haters.
Holy moly Andrew Lopez should not be allowed on tv. I have no clue whether his basketball opinions are correct because his broadcasting skills are so atrocious I have no clue what he was even getting at. Whew
If nola was only offering future 1st round picks for scoot…then there was no discussion at all. That doesn't hold water. They floated either Zion or Ingram or else no talks occurred.
Media is turning wemby into a villain. I want nothing more than for the spurs to fail him. Just like they did Kawhi. F*** the spurs. They ruin basketball when they are good. They manipulate the rules. Garbage franchise
He handled the Britney situation poorly. It was obvious she was slapped back. He addressed it by smiling about the whole time.
Wemby playing 82 games will never happen in one season. Ever. Max he will get to is 70. Maybe. Maybe 1 season he actually gets there. Next year he doesn’t eclipse 60 games.
I think most nba fans just want to see Zion on the court. He’s a phenomenal talent and is great to watch. Hope he can stay healthy.
Your work ethic is unreal Windy, thank you! Always appreciate listening to your knowledge and professionalism without all that hypeman/ WWE BS.
Its funny that a nation that claims to be as patriotic as the US is so blase about representing their country compared to the rest of the world.
That guy gave the dumbest answer to the hot temperature question. A long way to not give an answer
Zion needs to stop visiting the Golden Corral and stop getting random women pregnant. 6 women pregnant by Zion in less than a year. Good God man.
Bro, look like Vince Vaughn
it's 2023 and these boys still using cheap a$$ webcam. It's not watchable…………………..
You get lots of this in soccer (especially in the premier league) the pressure on wonder kids from abroad/homegrown is madness, microscopic analysis from the minute the hype begins. Insane pressure either makes them diamonds or they crack ( completely understandable) must be incredibly hard
He needs to go to the Rockets 🚀 with Harden
You might be on to something. Probably getting so hot that chemicals on the street previously thought unburnable..are now melting vapors into the air, and only those of sensitive noses and those who know the difference can tell? 😮
Smelling asphalt. Once it gets so hot the smell of it rises because it's getting softer and softer and sometimes even will liquefy
everything has been said
Not sure I understand why everyone thinks you have to make a move, pels are fine. They really need internal growth more than anything
WOW….15 minutes of brian telling us which teams have opened new practice facilities! i've been waiting for this for so long!!! thank you!!! i've been trying to sober up…..watching this content works even better to put me to sleep than booze
Windhosrt knows Lebron is about to retire and he will not have a teat to suck on so he is latching into the Wemby train liek a mfucking leavh, the same way he did lebron
I love how they are struggling when talking about the Pelicans.
