Zion is a 90s player reincarnated. Exactly what the league needs.

Barkley was nowhere near as fluid around the rim or had the soft touch at the finish. Barkley was a straight brute/bully. Zion can bully you to the rim and finesse finish at the rim and make mid air adjustment.

but barkley was much better post player. barkley had a simple but devastating back to the basket moves. zion has a long way to go to catch up charles' post skill.

and the biggest difference is rebounding. zion is a great offensive rebounder because of his quick jumping ability. but barkley was much better rebounder overall and i doubt it will change. barkley's rebounding instinct is dennis rodman level.

Philly barkley was doing everything zion was doing against bigger/stronger players despite being shorter than zion.

Finals kemp....was a monster and had mean low post game to boot. where amare had a simple post game of drop step and Yam , but a nice face up game, with a nice jumper.

but kemp could face up too. they were both lob city all day and all night.

Kemp played better man defense, thats for sure.
He ain’t have a mean low post game.

Bro these nikkas are high as fukk :russ:


Amare also averaged 28ppg in the fukkin Triangle and was top 5 MVP until they traded for Melo. But but but but 7 seconds or less.

today on the coli i learned the 2011 knicks being coached by Mike Dantoni was running the triangle offense

:mjgrin:

@CHICAGO @Swagnificent

all hail MDA stepping away from his offense to run a system (that by his admission he's totally clueless about)

Mike D'Antoni has hilarious quote about triangle offense
