Ok obv the post title is just for giggles. But yeah, people are making notice that Zion and Bron didn't dap each other off after the game. Knowing the cameras were all waiting for that moment. And then Bron said Zion so much as had never had a conversation with him, which is in itself unusual because most of the young cats in today's league look up to Bron. For a young kid, it's funny how Zion still credits Bird, Magic, and MJ as his favorites and not Bron or Kobe or the guys who were at their peak when he was growing up.
It's one of those things that isn't a real big deal, but I kind of like it. Zion seems to have that Giannis like attitude in him where he respects all the top guys in the league, but he ain't going out his way to worship them or be buddy buddy with them.
The sudden death of NBA all-time great Kobe Bryant was on everyone's mind as the Pelicans tipped off against the Celtics Sunday night. Even for players who never met him.
"At first it was a little difficult," Zion Williamson said. "I couldn’t focus at first."
Zion Williamson never had the chance to meet Kobe Bryant during his young NBA career, but he idolized the Lakers' star guard growing up.
"I had both jerseys 8 and 24 growing up, I studied his footwork game because I respected his," Williamson said. "His footwork was such a big part of his game, allowed him to get to his spots. The fade away … as easy as it looked, as he makes it look, it's one of the hardest things to do."
Bryant was a five time NBA Champion, 18-time NBA All-Star and two-time NBA Finals MVP. Bryant is also the fourth-highest scoring point leader in NBA history.

pretty sure Trae YoungOther than AD, Luka, and Lonzo, are there any young players in the league that idolize LeBron?
I'm honestly curious and not trying to shyt on Bron.
There's only about 20 young players max who anybody knows who they "idolized" growing up.He plays similar to Bron but I've seen nothing saying Bron was his favorite player. Only thing I could find online was him saying Dirk is his favorite international player.

Bron stans in here furious
"Why is this even a thread"

Zion is a mature cat and plays and acts like one. He looked up to MJ so him not kissing bron's ass isn't a surprise.
Breh's 19 and I've never seen him do no goofy shyt on the court or bench.
