I don't care what y'all think of his basketball potential, but you can't say he's a bad kid. He's so humble and chill, especially for all the drama the media had made of him.

[@sebchristensen2164]

He’s so dominant and aggressive on the court u would have no idea how sweet he is off the court, I really hope he lives up to the hype, most people when there that dominant would have such an ego( I know I would), he’s one of a kind

[@jasonferrer5882]

@@sebchristensen2164 when he's on the court he's an energizer for the team because of the hustle aggressiveness and power he gives and thats what other people cant see cause they look at him only as a dunker. Lol

[@treypruitt1358]

What is it with people and “behavior”. Who cares how he behaves, can he play or not? That’s the only thing that matters. You don’t win rings being the most well behaved. He’s in the league because of how he basketball.

[@sebchristensen2164]

OH GOD what tf is wrong with u? Were not talking about his basketball game, we all know how he plays there, we talking about how he is as a human being, if that doesn’t count for something than I’ve lost hope for society

[@demonlord7868]

ALL I CAN SAY IS ZION IS BUST!! HE CANT DOMANATE THE NBA LIKE BRON AND KD AND STEPH DOES!! HES TOO SHORT TO BE EFFECTIVE N THE NBA EVEN Giannis HAD HA HARD TIME N THE PLAYOFFS THIS BUST IS SAYING HES READY FOR THE PLAYOFFS IS BULLCRAP!! HES A JOKE!! I WILL PREDICT THAT HE WILL AVERAGE 9-7 POINTS IN THE PLAYOFFS, CUZ NBA DEFENDERS WILL EXPOSE ZION!!
