i need people to understand you can’t be a bust solely because of injuries, its just not a valid reason to label someone a bust.. injuries + bad play or even jus bad play can make you a bust but not injuries alone.
This dude called Zion a bust haha 🤡
I can see why you confuse about ZION; Look here bro Zion from the South we are big bone 🦴 strong 💪 folks.
The Powerful Pelicans are the New Dynasty.
You forgot to mention their versatility. They can play big with Jonas or play small with Larry Nance. They have the deepest team in the league, 8 1st round picks in the next 5 drafts, multiple 2nd rounders & several pick swaps available to trade to fill weaknesses.
Their biggest deficiencies are playoff inexperience, total team health & not enough volume 3 point shooting.
How can you call the current Western Conference player of the week a bust? That sounds crazy. So Joel Embiid was also a bust during his first few years in the NBA? You can't call a player a bust while they are tearing up the NBA. You can't call a player a bust without the cards playing themselves out. You are predicting that he will be a bust. Right now, he is not. You have to let things play out before you call his career. Jesus man. You are doubling down on stupid.
Wow! The Zion reasoning…. just Wow!!!
The Suns didn't really "overreact to the dunk". The only person I saw criticize the dunk was Cam Payne. Other players and the coach said "no big deal". The scuffle started because CP3 threw a cheap shot elbow at Jose, not because of the dunk.
personally i would not label a player a bust if the player body doesnt hold up for a long career. if the player ever reaches greatness on the court, i believe that player is not a bust. being a bust to me mean that player never reached their projected potential on the court. its not a player's fault that god gave him a body that might only lasted a short time. what that player did in that short of a span is where i would judge to see what label that player deserve. good stuff sir.
They’re good – not the best, in my humble opinion. Too small of a sample size for me to go out on a limb and say they are the best. However, they are trending in that direction. Great vid, per usual, BJ.
Nahhh You should’ve coped pleds a week ago now Pels on top of West… most low injuries take a year for players to get back… you wa wanted to be apart of the “cool” kids that’s called him a bust
I understand your point of concern, very valid, however by you standing behind your point of Zion Williamson is a "Bust" is very premature and it appears as if you are contradictive in your assessment. Meaning, you went back to call out that you said that he was a "Bust" but at the same time he's going to be multi-time All-Star and win multiple All NBAs. Do you think Joel Embiid is a "Bust", his start was similar to Zion's. My point is those labels are unfair and unwarranted at this point. Or, maybe you believe he is "going to be a "Bust"" based on his size and play, that health wise he won't hold up and live up to his draft position and hype…I can get that; but saying he is a "Bust", that's wrong!
