Zion on returning: Physically I'm fine, now it's just a matter of when I feel like Zion. Admits it’s more mental

Dude gotta be pushing that FO to trade him on the low
The basketball gods won't bless this if this is the case. Bron started off in Cleveland, Giannis in Milwaukee, JA in Memphis.. Play the game, earn your stripes, and carry a team. They gave him $200 million. Never in shape. I thought he had a serious injury. I had no clue he's been out this entire time over a hamstring. Can't make a mockery of the game. They would eat him alive if he was in a bigger market with this many missed games under his belt

The Truth
Plus the fact that it's a win or go home game, and if he can't play like himself, these same critics would question him for coming back and being a detriment to the team. I could actually see a scenario where if the Pelicans advanced to the actual playoffs, he might give it a go since it wouldn't be an elimination type scenario.
That’s exactly whats going on in his head

Reinjuring his hammy and coming back when the games are very important.

The Truth
Klay Thompson >>>

Two "career ending" injuries. Achilles and ACL back to back.

:picard:

Came back and played like ass for a few months (actually he came back last year during the playoffs and helped them win the fourth chip)

Fought through the mental blocks.
:ufdup:

Finished the season as the number one three-point shooter in the NBA and carried the returning champs while Steph the Gawd was out injured.

That's how MEN face adversity.

:myman:

Edit: Klay didn't come back during the playoffs that was Steph.
Playoffs not here yet, he said he’s definitely coming back in the playoffs

He’s just trying to wait for them to work themselves into the playoffs so he won’t affect whether they make it or not. If they make it, he should be gtg because it doesn’t matter anymore

Breh, their "playoffs" was the play-in game, and the last game of the season that determined if they were the 8 or 9 seed. Nawlins lost and lost.

If he's so inconsequential to their success, that he can "wait and see", then why come back during the playoffs at all? Just quit nikka.

:what:

Issa wrap now. He can eat all the gumbo, and do all the windmill dunks in warm-ups he wants.
