mashburn was underrated zion is not monster mash

zion= corliss williamson
Corliss couldn't get off the ground, doggy. Zion can jump damn near out the gym for a man his size. Stop wishing the kid flaps at the beginning of his fuxking career just because your team didn't get him or he played for a college team you didn't like

He’s not stronger. The mf ripped through a shoe and just destroyed a golf club and can nerf a football the length of the field. He’s a DE built 285-300 lb. mf. I saw one SL half from him that’s all he played and he ripped the ball out Kevin Knox hands like he was a baby and threw down a Shaq like dunk. He’s only 19.


you don't think LJ would've done more damage than that to these new-age young players???

LJ would've been bullying the hell out of everybody in summer league.


Zion’s strength is godly. Some of y’all dudes don’t get it. He is one of those country strong ass Carolina negros. Strong for no reason ass negros.

:comeon:


yea I used to live a few towns over.

LJ was a strong country boy too.

Grandmama was a man. He played with that bully edge to him even in the pros against other men until his body declined. We gotta see how Zion fairs with other great athletes at the next level. College ain't the same level of comp UNLV was running through and he couldn't even carry that Duke team through. Zion is the better athlete. We'll see if he is the better player.

Now I understand when people say Zion is more athletic than Larry Johnson

They still thinking of Knicks version of Larry when his back was fukked up and aging

Hornets Larry Johnson was a monster and just as athletic as Zion
Ain't you like 26? Why are you speaking as if you were mentally aware enough to speak about him in this manner?

Y'all nikkas need to stop evaluating players like this. Box score numbers aren't reflective of a player's ability. When are y'all gonna wake up?

He was the most impactful player in the NCAA

He has Draymond intangible potential & Barkley scoring potential

I'm not a stats guy, I go by the eye test hence me referencing his vision, handle & lateral quickness

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.
I'm one of those people who has doubts over what Zion will be in the league, but it's not because of his athleticism (it's mostly due to his size/shooting). If he does end up hitting under his projection, it won't be because his athleticism holds him back.

LJ was a better athlete

He beat me to it, LJ is more athletic

LJ was a monster....an undersized monster bullying and jumping over bigger 4s

if you don't think he was more athletic and explosive.....watch his ROY highlights

zion did some flashy breakaway dunks and dominated depleted college era where EVEN Duke has 1 and done players.......watch how that translates in the NBA.

zion is more athletic than LJ was.

but LJ was a monster, that zion will never be.

Zion ain’t seeing LJ in shyt

You've bought into the hype machine.

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

At UNLV, I saw LJ throw chest pass from underneath his own basket PAST the half court line all the way to the other three point line. Just flicking it with his wrists.

Have any of you tried to throw a chest pass past half court? :dahell: Its almost 30 years later, I have never seen another human being do that.

LJs strength was godly. Some of yall dudes dont get it. That was one of those country strong ass Texas negros. Strong for no reason ass negros.

Only thing Zion has over him is hops and a better defender. He wasnt as athletic as LJ.

mashburn was underrated zion is not monster mash

zion= corliss williamson

:patrice: naw...not on any athletic facet was lj better than Zion athletically. He wasnt faster, more agile nor does he have the same kind of jumping ability that zion has right now.

Zions athletic ability is up there with lbj, Vince and jordan...lj is on the barkly level when it comes to athletic ability

Too many people all up in the nostalgia
