Zion is a 90s player reincarnated. Exactly what the league needs.

he's sir charles. just quicker. the beauty of him being quicker is that he hurries up and gets to the point faster. no need for a 10 minute back down. just get to my spot, do a quick move. give you that grown man 285lb shoulder lean bump and bucket. wash, rinse, repeat.
I love it.
Barkley was nowhere near as fluid around the rim or had the soft touch at the finish. Barkley was a straight brute/bully. Zion can bully you to the rim and finesse finish at the rim and make mid air adjustment.

People keep saying Kemp, Shawn Kemp was NEVER a dominant player, never even close to one.

Yeah Kemp's a rarity because he was never a superstar level player, but he's iconic as fukk.That's why I give him a pass.

But by his 3rd year in the league, I remember telling people Amare Stoudemire was already better than Kemp ever was.

Don't matter, tho.Kemp will always be the more iconic player.....Like I said....Gotta give him that pass:yeshrug:

The Truth
Context is needed for this statement to ring true. 80's/90's the defense was allowed to go hard with it's physicality. This era not so much.
I mean... could you imagine if Zion actually went hard physically :francis:


I honestly think he be going light on nikkas sometimes

Barley may not have been phenomenal at it like Zion, but he damn sure had great touch/finishing around the basket

No goofy shyt. No be my friend shyt. No clout chasing. Just raw and balling. Derrick Rose was Zion a decade ago. Let's hope Zion is blessed to be able to carry tradition for the next 15 years.


Yup...

Bron ushered in an era of banana boat bullshyt that he is now trying to redeem himself from..
Bron taught all stars to lay on the ground at the all star games- literally- after Kobe retired.. now we got some competitive fire back in the league and Bron even trying to play with that edge.. basketball about to change for the better
