The Pelicans have suspended Zion Williamson for a violation of team policies

[BaggerofTea]

Zion is such a mentally weak individual and stays with that goofy autistic ass grin on his face like he has everything going right in the world.

they need to trade him this off season and at least get a pick for him

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

The NBA never needed Zion to pan out.

The Pelicans may have needed it to stay in New Orleans, but the NBA has had new stars every year, including a few American stars.

Nah I disagree with this. The NBA went all in on Zion and Ja and both of them (at this point) flaming out from that has hurt the league

Fam we one more bad ratings report from a 5 point shot and halftime dunk tank. I don’t think ‘thriving’ is the word

Why are you lame ass nxggas still going on about ratings?

They don't matter.

The league is thriving without them. This isn't 90s where TV is the only that that dictates viewership.

More to the point - even if Zion was a superstar, it wouldn't affect TV ratings. It's mindboggling how this conversation still needs to be had about something that's irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

What we’re seeing is when a broken culture leads to anomalies in the game

In any other time in history, Zion goes on to be a megastar. But he’s fat and lazy

Any other time in history Ja is a superstar, but he’s corrupted by NBA Youngboy (shout out to Kyren Lacy )

Any other time in history, Lamelo is a superstar that’s helping the league. But he’s corrupted and stifled emotionally. So he’s a quasi star, but he doesn’t care about pushing the league forward or playing winning hoops.

So it’s a whole generation of lost stars whether bc they make so much money or bc the culture is broken

What kind of generalized foolishness is this.

There's nothing broken about the culture.

Zion would be fat and lazy during every other era; Ja's struggles come down to the fact he can't stay on the floor because his body stays breaking down; LaMelo's in his early 20s, so it stands to reason he's not mature enough yet. Why are you acting like players from the past didn't suffer from circumstances reflective of the respective eras they grew up in?

The league is in a great place with a whole lot of young stars who've already broken out, or on the verge of.

NONE OF THOSE DUDES
MOVE THE NEEDLE LIKE
SHAQ, KOBE, BRON, STEPH, KD
OR EVEN ROSE BEFORE THE ACL.

YOURE JUST LISTING GOOD PLAYERS.

ZION WAS SUPPOSED TO BE
IN THAT CARRY THE LEAGUE SUPERSTAR TIER.

THE LEAGUE STILL DEPENDING
ON OLD DUDES LIKE BRON/STEPH/KD
FOR RATINGS

Y'all cats and this ratings shyt.

Give it a cotdamn rest.

Your dumbass Right-wing agenda thread was already debunked, so stop trying to layer that shyt as if it still has merit.

Even if Zion turned into a superstar, it wouldn't mean shyt if he wasn't winning.

Y'all are already turning up your noses at Ant because he's growing frustrated of his situation in Minny, despite his best efforts of trying to win and position himself as one of the elites of the game. But because the T'Wolves are trending down as a team since last season, y'all have no sympathy for his situation and because of his comments about the past, y'all essentially have no care for him anymore.

Yet y'all wanna fake concern with Zion when y'all wouldn't give a cotdamn about him if he was stuck in N.O. and not winning shyt.

THE LEAGUE HAS NO YOUNG SUPERSTARS.

WEMBY MAY PAN OUT
BUT BEING A 7'3 FRENCH MAN
WILL ONLY TAKE HIM SO FAR IN STARDOM

nikka hasn't scored a point, but the whole floor is open for everyone else because EVERY DEFENDER US LOOKING FOR ZION.

Wemby DOES NOT get that type of gravity. Neither does Giannis. Joker does because he also has amazing touch around the rim. Wemby ain't there yet. You don't have to double Wemby on the perimeter and he is selling himself short on that tip, but he's a great shooter so it balances out.
