Shawn Kemp averaged 20ppg one time in his career

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

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
Never needed him to pan out is correct, but they definitely were very invested in him living up to the hype
His rookie year they put the Pelicans on opening night, Christmas and MLK Day. Off the top of my head only rookie I could ever remember them rolling the red carpet out like that for is LeBron, even Wemby didn't get a platform of that level right out the gate.
But of course he missed all 3 games with injury, which in hindsight was foreshadowing for what was to come.

Nothing else stood out. He was a good p&r big who was slightly above average as a face up high post big

I would take 5 years of his career over any of the five we've seen from Zion right now on the spot I don't care about the points

shyt, I would too. Just for games played alone and he was fun as hell to watch. Just not enough scoring for me. Id take Anare over him all day every day.
I stand by what I said. The league needed Zion to be a star/superstar period. We'll just agree to disagree. No harm no foul. I enjoy Ant, Cade, Palolo, Melo, etc. But they're not moving the needle like that. I don't even think half of them are likeable. Zion was the complete package and had it all.

The all "That's not gonna work for me, brother" starting five
Zion "Prepare The Others" Williamson
Flagg's popularity is not even close to Zion's even with the White American tax, dude is tripping. Zion failing to pan out has set the League back by a decade and they've been clamoring for a replacement ever since.
Fam we one more bad ratings report from a 5 point shot and halftime dunk tank. I don’t think ‘thriving’ is the word
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

Outside of Shaq and some Bron, none of these guys moved the needle much early in their careers either.

I don’t disagree with what you said, but the Association has moved from dude.
