JJ Redikk calls out Zion as a “detached teammate”

[breakfuss]

If the NBA want to keep superstars in these mid/small markets they gon need to accelerate the rate of development for these overseas players since they’ll care a lot less about where they land than an American born player.

Maybe I don't understand because I'm not an athlete worth millions but what's wrong with places like New Orleans? Amazing city and I love it when I visit. NY and LA are supposed to be the only desirable markets?

You make more money off Zion if he's close to TV and Movie studios.

It’s really not though
Most of these guys are twice as social as the biggest names from the 80s 90s 00s. Like twenty of these nikkas have podcasts or some kind of media access beyond their team.

How are they off camera/social media without their team? Awkward as hell i bet.

If the white man says it it’s gotta be true huh?

Lol but nah, JJ is spot on. Zion ain’t nothing but a big fat ass baby. NOLA rolled out the red carpet for him. They protected him, admittedly to a fault, and this is the thanks they get. Same thing with Ben Simmons, they babied and coddled that man from day 1, only for him to be like fukk all y’all. These new nikkas have nothing to bytch about.

Its actually worse than Simmons because at LEAST Simmons has the “excuse” that Rivers and Embiid “threw him under the bus” when Zion can’t even say that. Nobody in that organization has done anything but coddle that nikka

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

JJ right this nikka Zion hella selfish & hella trifiling. fukk him

 

[feelosofer]

It's wild how little Zion has done in the grand scheme of things and how much the organization has catered to him and this is the end result.

He’s on the fukkin Pelicans. AD, Chris Paul, all those dudes were just biding their time. Doesn’t make sense to dedicate yourself to a franchise that doesn’t gaf about its players long term health. We watched Davis sit out for damn near an entire season. Why risk injury.

 

[Peter Popoff]

White ppl defend their own so nah.

You don't know what the fukk you're talking about

And even that excuse with Simmons doesn't fly because Embiid defended him for years during interviews when everyone was trying to throw him on the bus. Even Doc was trying to help out Simmons by bringing up Rondo and his shooting deficiencies. One is/was just as coddled as the other.

 

[lightskin jermaine]

Someone said Zion is doing the same thing Kawhi did in SA

Anthony Davis played like 8 years there. Zion hasn’t even played a full season. fukk that fat nikka

 

[Monoblock]

Most overrated college player since Ben Simmons. He hasn't done shyt since he signed that contract and faking injury to play out of it. These new nikkas have no type of morals, selfish, and are spoiled fukkin babies. They fukkin up money for future players and these owners gonna kill them in the next CBA.

 

[Emoryal]

I still don't what he's done to all of a sudden get this much hate
Interesting how media works

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

Yeah Zion will tell you himself he never wanted to go to NO
Usually players just make the best of it but he dgaf

league gotta address this and the Ben/Kyrie messes in the next CBA

There’s no evidence of this and it looks like they’re both cool but I know Zion is jealous of Lamelo going to Charlotte. Could have been him living in NC (duke) and being close to home (SC). Plus play for the GOAT who have you a signature shoe. That boy does not want to be in new orleans at all
