Zion Williamson Is OFFICIALLY A BUST - Here's Why

[@34stzoo]

This is exactly what Michael Jordan said about the new players' breed. They are signed to these huge contracts and have not proven themselves. There is no FIRE to exceed beyond the paycheck they already guaranteed! This is why the All-Star game has been a waste of time; it's not about getting a ring at the end of the season anymore. It's not all Zion's fault. I blame the league, the Pelican organization, and his parents for babying him. There's no hunger for Zion outside his local fast-food joint.

[@34stzoo]

@@middleclass-014 As in life to succeed you will need a foundation, a support system, we all do. When you make bad decisions the people around you should help guide you. You know like your parents are supposed to. Zion, best interest was not at the forefront. and If you feel I think he's not responsible for his actions, I'm sorry my friend you are wrong. He was a young kid who needed guidance when he got to the NBA and anyone around him cared about what they could take from him. Zion needs to take care of Zion, and I do blame him but I'm also putting the wight where it belongs.

You guys are looking at this all WRONG. Regular season viewership is down. Players and fans are apathetic. The league needs novel advertisers. The Krispy Kreme tournament could be the answer. Zion takes on all comers. A dozen original glazed before each quarter. In 5yrs before his 3rd heart attack forces retirement, Zion will be the undisputed Krispy Kreme basketball goat.

[@PhooPhooMagoo]

Zion's actually setting a new model. He has to have made the most money playing the fewest amount of games for anybody in league history. If you can drop people's jaws at an early age where they have to go all in on you, then you can be sitting pretty with generational wealth and eating good with no worries. Only got to sacrifice your body doing all that insane stuff while you young. Can't do non guaranteed contracts cause the rest of the players would do a lockout. Only secret ingredient you need to make it all work is being the freakiest athlete ever at 17. Genius.

[@graham5990]

Guess that all boils down to your definition of bust. IMO a bust is someone who didn't live up to expectations and he hasn't so I think he is personally. Now when he is out there clearly one of the best players in the league, but part of the expectation after being drafted and getting his huge paycheck was to be available, and he has not lived up to that expectation, but I see where you're coming from purely based on talent and skill.

The disappointment that's named Zion Williamson is a BIG reason folks are tuning out of the NBA. Folks just hate this bad mentality these entitled egos possess. Plus throw in the fact that folks who were followers who invested in Zion (rather than Jokic) back in 2018 are down BIG TIME and can't stomach to face their losses. The NBA is a reminder of their own foolishness.

[@PabloHalo-m9v]

This isn't anything new lol

[@artetacousin6801]

Zion Williamson was on the cover of 2k before Luka and Luka single handedly had taken a really bad mavericks team to a game 7 against kawhi and Paul George the year before… just comes to show European players have to work twice as hard to get the same recognition as an American unproven talent

[@MrReymoclif714]

Watching Boston play Houston and nobody is trying to get a touch on the people shooting the 3 pointers!!! wtf is that lack of hustle to get a touch on the 3 pointers?

[@NeonSuperNovas]

By the time he matures and gets on track, he's gonna be out of his prime smh.

[@moresomoze]

I'm sorry.... zion is 24 years old. He's not even close to his prime yet. If he gets himself together, he has wayyyyyyy less miles on his legs than ja or ant or even wemby at this point. New Orleans is historically shifty in the training department. Ad got screwed in new Orleans. If zion ends up somewhere like phx he's going to have a ridiculously unexpected return. If anything new Orleans is a bust.

[@einharjar]

Bro that thumbnail got me 💀💀

[@Kishimyu]

As a Pelicans fan I was very sad with AD's departure. Adding Zion gave me so much hope that maybe we could have another star that could potentially give them a ring. Zion has been a huge letdown. It's not even about loving the game. Pro basketball is his JOB. Players like Zion need to be given an ultimatum. Either he locks in or he's fired. Get players that don't wanna WORK out of here (Ben Simmons.) Millions of players out there would be willing to work their butts off to play in the NBA. Then we got players like Zion just leeching a fat check and wasting a slot on the team. Sure, Zion is super talented, but all that potential with no direction is just a waste. Jokic is the perfect example of "basketball is just my job." Jokic is all business for the NBA season. Then goes home to his family and his horses once the season is over. You don't need the obsession of Kobe to be a great player. Despite all of the drama and trouble he's gotten himself into, Zion still has his youth. There's still has time to redeem himself and show that he is worth the time and money. I really hope he does cause seeing all of that potential go to waste is just disheartening.

New Orleans is either trading him or releasing him by the deadline. I think it would be better for both parties if they just parted ways atp. New Orleans is just going to have to bite the bullet and hit another rebuild just like my Hornets.

That Nike PG 2 exploding 4:03 on Zion's foot tells you more about the brand's quality more than his weight issue. Top tier basketball shoes should not fail in a way that could cause season ending injuries. Shaq played 19 seasons starting from 133kg all the way to 155kg with zero injury from shoes failing to hold up his weight.
