Half of these new nikkas have injury problems, what happened to nba?

people have always had injury problems...only difference is now is they try to do all this load management and stuff to keep them healthy and they still end up hurt.

Most of the people the people complaining about this don't want to see Zion play, they want to see him get hurt so they can say I told you so...
Nobody wants to see this young brotha get hurt, but I've been telling y'all nikkas since the jump that he won't last in the league in his current state. He needs to drop weight and develop a J - it's the only way to sustained superstardom. It's painful that cats can't see the bigger picture cause they've been hoodwinked by his highlight plays.

nikkas need a carrot and a stick for their critical thinking.

Months after averaging the highest ppg since Jordan (EXACTLY WHAT I SAID BY HIS 5TH GAME AT DUKE) this bytch nikka pops back up, after literally saying it was zero chance he could score that much :scust:

Another nikka that can't see the forest for the trees cause he's been conditioned by surface stats.

And not that it matters, but you wrong:

Zion - 22.4 PPG

Griffin (rookie) - 22.5 PPG
A.I. (rookie) - 23.5 PPG
Shaq (rookie) - 23.4 PPG
DRob - 24.3 PPG
Harper (rookie) - 23.9 PPG.

:hubie:

nikka you said it was IMPOSSIBLE for him to average anywhere near that number :russ:.

What the fukk is wrong with saying, yea breh I was wrong about that one :yeshrug:
Why would I say it's impossible for him to average 22 PPG?

With the amount of possessions the game is paced at, and the spacing, that ain't some unattainable achievement. Especially since it just slides in as a top-20 scoring average this season. Even Wiggins averaged a similar mark. But that's all besides the point. You're getting stuck in these lil' surface stat mudholes when you should be looking at what's really going on. It will only be a matter of time before you have to face reality.

nikka I'm completely aware that he could possibly have a great 6-8 year career, most likely won't play 10+. I really hope dawg does though.

At some point it just doesnt make sense. He was off all last summer and didnt lose a pound while rehabbing. He had the entire season up til the shutdown and didnt lose a pound. He had a 4 month layoff and didnt lose a pound. What exactly are they monitoring? The knee? If hes hurt he shouldnt play at all. Whats the "every other game he'll play 16 minutes" accomplishing in a playoff race when the team never even has to travel? Hes gonna have another 4 month break after this. Just play him every game for 12-15 minutes.

Bruh i dig what you are saying and agree with you 100 percent. If his knee isn't the issue and it's his weight and condition then that's more on him then anyone else. But if his knee is swelling or something after some games then i can't knock the Pelicans for sitting him some games. But for real i think it's the weight more than anything else.

I mean I agree but let the man get some burn. Only reason most of us watching the Pels
If he's out of shape and gets hurt playing 35 minutes a night the Pelicans will never hear the end of it. Best thing for him is to get down to about 260 and work on his stamina.
