michael carter-williams' debut should get his flowers... 22 points, 12 assists, 7 rebounds, and 9 steals

[@navv2k]

Crazy

His debut was so good that for his first year in 2K they gave him a 80 3pt shot😂

[@RealCorndog]

He shot like 45% last year very deceiving😂

[@taylorsilver2566]

So fun one… Zion’s debut was the first ever NBA match I watched. I watched it live with my mate who was obsessed with this dude, I was like ‘oh cool was he a star before getting injured’ no… kid hadn’t even played a game yet! That 3 min stretch in the 4th was the most amazing welcome to the sport I could’ve hoped for. Thanks Z1.

[@allworksnew]

Yeah but he still LOST. WELCOME TO THE NBA BIG FELLA

[@tanneronken]

@@allworksnew wow the pelicans who got the number one pick ended up losing a regular season game. was on a minutes restriction regardless.

[@allworksnew]

@@tanneronken his FIRST game. All this talk about hypeion and BOOM lost to the superior team. WELCOME TO THE NBA BIG FELLA

[@Punchgodx]

Imagine seeing your math teacher give the Houston rockets damn near a 20 ball🤣🤣🤣

[@TheKyubiisaan]

He made more 3s than shaq did in like his whole career, in his debut

[@JdiJoey]

Teams also shot 86% less than todays game in shaqs area and a big man taking a three was damn near forbidden back then. Don’t give Zion yo much hype. He’s not even close to being as good as shaqs worst season

[@liamgreen2659]

@@JdiJoeyno one was saying he’s better than shaq lil bro. He was saying he’s a better 3pt shooter, and pointing out a fun fact

I remember staying up until 3 AM for Zions debut, but I turned off somewhere during the 3rd quarter. I was so mad when I woke up the next day lol

[@johnmarkson1990]

i fell asleep too but luckily the hype from the game woke me up as zion was draining 3s.

[@mikemurray8562]

Me and brother was going crazy after every 3 lol we thought he was gonna be like that every game

[@Shortballa11]

Zion made more 3s in one game than Ben Simmons had made to that point in his career

[@1flamebird]

As a Spurs fan, the 4th Q of this game will forever be a classic

[@ClovzeLeFernandezMatthews]

8:03 Bro really snucked in such a smooth transition and expected us not to notice.

[@kermitthefrog6857]

Getting 9 steals as a rookie is crazy

[@weho_brian]

RIP Zion's prime, we hardly knew you

[@BigBosstione]

Having a prime before the nba is crazy

[@nish8399]

@@BigBosstione You don't watch basketball. Current zion would smoke his supposed 'prime'. He just averaged 26/7/5 on 60!!!!!!% shooting in the highest level basketball league in the world.

[@ZaeOSWS]

@@nish8399 you watching basketball? Current Zion is not like that😂

[@ZaeOSWS]

⁠@@nish8399 cause with that logic then Deandre Jordan is currently the best player in the league🤣

[@ZaeOSWS]

@@nish8399also he’s shooting at 30%😅

[@Dc225_]

I was there, and it was so live. Everyone was going wild the whole time.

[@qqw743]

Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah. Back up. Did you just say "strength comparable to Shaq?" You might wanna edit that one out.

[@yoshikigrg8]

Michael Carter Williams has the best rookie performance in the history of NBA. PERIOD!

[@liamsmith5242]

Video begins at 8:10

[@thosekids321]

I mean Zion is still 2nd all time in points/min. The 3’s were a bit of a fluke but his efficiency is sustained, check out his career stats

[@DanButton89]

Andre Ingram was 32 in his debut? He looks 10 years older than that 😂

[@rollingwins]

it was weird, but he showed up which was what everyone was waiting for, even tho it wasn’t traditional Zion fashion

[@TylerKrantz-m8x]

In his debut Zion almost matched Ben Simmons career total 3pters.

[@67Lich]

Michael Carter Williams just looked like he was supposed to be a star. He had the name, the look and this debut I was sold he was the next superstar

[@Zayhill667]

He was good I remember playin wit him on 2k his roomie year

[@joshuabenne1184]

How the hell you get 42 points only hitting 7 shots?

[@dallaslee8676]

maybe he misspoke and meant 17/25?

[@poindextertunes]

hack-a-shaq 😂

[@jrams4145]

They were all 6 point shots obviously

[@poindextertunes]

Kyle Korver had 11pts in 65secs 🔥

[@jayherbogaming]

Correction: That Lofton game was important for OKC's play-in push

[@jimmerrange]

Nope

[@nbapbaupdate8338]

Jaylen Brown your next video JimmerRange 😅😂😅😂😅😂😅

[@jayherbogaming]

Justin Anderson was drafted in 2015 Michael Carter-Williams debut was in 2013 Also, Anderson didn't join the 76ers until year 2

[@jimmerrange]

Correct. It was James Anderson.

[@youngminpark3173]

2:29 bro there's no way that's an actual basketball game. Was Simmons playing a 2v3 exhibition game against 5th graders?

[@venomoz1523]

I was at Cade Cunninghams first game. I didn't have high hopes after that

[@jusaviceking]

Wow now Kendrick was hoopin in the summer league and played pretty decent for Miami

[@nbapbaupdate8338]

Zion Williamson 4-4 3/FG debut super insane over Ben Simmons still searchings his mid range or 3pt 😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂

[@abw1317]

I knew when Nunn left the Heat his stock was going to tank.

[@waff6ix]

WATCHIN IT LIVE WAS SO HYPE💯WAS PISSED WHEN THEY SAT HIM 4Q😮‍💨💔💔

[@santelldavis6733]

This turned into galazing at the end

[@thehondaboi]

Great video

[@poindextertunes]

that is rather odd he never went back to the well. maybe they started guarding him on the perimeter after his debut. he’s not exactly known for his handles either

[@ja4309]

He was never a great shooter outside of the paint which is what makes his debut an anomaly really. He's more of this punisher in the paint who will find an open cut before doing so

[@logotv7840]

Nunn is a wizard

[@Maximilian1990]

Thanks Hagrid

[@abw1317]

Athletic Greens taste like dirt, but it does work really well.

[@nefejefia7475]

Every prospect now has the most hype since Lebron James 🙄🙄 but they actually don't

[@yepyepp2263]

How you not mention MCW? Lol

[@johnbutler2780]

Kenny loften the Indians guy? He was a legend in Cleveland. Stole lots of bases did it all really.

[@nhandahooker]

That’s his dad

[@BENOLGGD]

I remember watching the zion game live he just kept going crazy in the 4th like 3 after 3 after 3 bucket after bucket I was just shocked it’s funny this video came up I was talking to my friend about zion the other day and this ended up on my yt page

[@saltypine660]

1:52 why not just say he is 35. wtf

[@ClovzeLeFernandezMatthews]

He wanted to emphasized that the player was mid-35 - for players at that age, half a year can change a lot of things. But the fact given in the video was wrong - he was not closer to turning 36 than to his 35th birthday.

[@pkfirealarm4685]

the best debut in nba history

[@jeffridge3727]

Well done vid

[@brandonfoster5892]

I’m pretty sure mcw stayed in the league as long as he did solely of his rookie debut cuz he should not have been in the league as long as he was😂😂😂😂

[@kevinstar4621]

Can’t wait for victors debut tbh

[@Clowning101]

Pelicans its time to turn up for new orieans

[@smoceany9478]

didnt wilt score 43 in his debut

[@Guiltycircle486]

Do you mind putting the sponsorship at the end pls, it’s annoying.

[@aarontaylor9874]

It was odd but not nearly as weird as the way new Orleans is handling Zions career, sometimes I feel like they just wanted him so nobody could have him

[@MrDman9202]

WTF are you talking about?

[@tarunganesg9700]

He’s just been injured they have put good pieces around him when he’s healthy

[@allworksnew]

Im gLad the pels faced the spurs. A great losing effort! WELCOME TO THE NBA ZION

michael carters debut was. the best. all went downhill from that point though soooo ahahahaha
