So you black talkin that no your place shyt about another black athlete?

Even worse you fukkin savage.

:hhh:
He has to go through the growing pains that every star player has to go through. Why does he and his family think otherwise. He hasn’t even earned a max extension yet, and they’re talking about how unhappy he is. Gtfoh. Prove your worth first and then start letting your nuts hang.

Interesting. The family want to maximize his earning potential/brand ASAP. I wonder if they low key feel it's better to cash in now while he's still at the potential stage in case he doesn't pan out/injuries hamper his career later on.

I'd say the issue is Zion's folks are witnessing Morant, Luka, Trae, Donovan, Booker, etc getting praise and attention for kicking ass in the playoffs... while Zion (who was tied with Luka with 2nd most nationally televised games to start the season, after LAL) is once-again watchin from home.

All that branding and earning potential stuff comes with winning above all else, and all the television sponsors, networks, marketing strategists, etc have done their part. Zion and the Pelicans haven't done theirs by actually winning.

Probably stung watching Ja Morant take national stage in the play-in tournament (which everyone jokes was put in place to give the Pels a chance), out-dueling Steph Curry, and taking game 1 vs the Jazz.

If he makes it to NYC, we'll make sure his locker is by his boy Barrett.

who remembers when the pelicans won the lottery there was word that zion might do a 2nd year at duke cause he didn't want to go to NOLA. shyt sounded far fetched when that came out but I'm starting to think thats real. its obvious he doesn't want to be there. nikka was lusting over the knicks just a few months ago.

Zion: I love playing here:ahh: this is my favorite place in the world... other than New Orleans of course :skip:

Lol. Once you hire an agent you lose your eligibility for the NCAA.

Good. fukk team allegiance. fukk Orgs who dont want to spend and step up thier game.


The issue i have is these orgs and ownership groups use thier superstar players earning potential to hide behind thier inability to properly asses, recruit, and retain talent.
