[Houston911]

LJ was a better athlete

How?

Zion more athletic than any nikka not named Lebron, Vince, Jordan, or Wilt. Yall gotta stop with this.

You've bought into the hype machine.

Zion is a better athlete than Shannon Brown, Richard Jefferson, or David Robinson?

Absolutely. What the fukk lol

no shade to lj, he was obviously an athletic player, but he didn't have the explosion and leaping ability z does.

z doesn't have the all around offensive/defensive skillset that lj had though. if he builds a good midrange game, post game, commits to owning the boards, and controls his weight he can surpass lj.

ok, so it goes from Zion is great athlete for his size, to he's a better athlete than SUPER athletic swingmen like RJ and Shannon Brown and a better athlete than the Admiral?

ok

2019 season is going to be a wakeup call.

this post will age badly when he plays less than 75% of the season

I mean in his prime not his rookie year

Zion was arguably the best defensive 4 in the country last season, as a freshman...are you kidding me????

a lot of this sounds like UNLV/Hornets larry Johnson.

albeit a more athletic version.

Grand-ma-ma was a nice player at his peak but he was never box office

Zion has the opportunity to be Box Office

where was it said he was a bad defender? z was a beast in college because of his athletic gifts. in the pros his athleticism won't be as big an advantage. dude has great up side, but has some work to do.

His athleticism will still be elite at the next level

Zion has better handles and overall perimeter skills and LJ has better footwork and low post moves (one of the best)

Two people said JR Rider....I'm really confused. Y'all going off of slam dunk contests or something? I only really followed JR during his Portland years but that was still right in his prime and his game at that time was NOTHING like Zion's game. Someone gotta educate me cause the JR Rider I remember was an brilliant iso scorer who could drop a disgusting fadeaway over your head but didn't rebound or defend for shyt.
