Zion took that lakers loss as motivation, this the zion we know and love , keep staying healthy big fella 💯
How many fat jokes can a human take?
@@afisemenaborevlaka48He’s not even fat he just has a football body
True ... he's just heavy and somewhat out of condition for a time. @@TruSteppa
@@TruSteppa No, he is definitely fat for an NBA player
@@danielleeeeeeeeeeeeeee There is nothing fat about him my guy quit yapping tell me what is fat about him dip shit
Zion’s finishing at and around the rim is INSANE. Dude is just layup city!
And his crossover and first step is super quick for his size
He finishes like a guard. Shaq and Chuck hate that there is an new animal in their category of power.
the way he just licks the rim all around while getting so up close and personal to shove his tongue in there is extraordinary
As a Lakers fan who heard all the post game Zion slander, I have utmost respect for the way he responded. Love this kid and wish for him to continue to prove the media doubters wrong time and time again. He’s unstoppable 💯
He’s going to make Stephen a eat his words..
SAS @@rodwillis8029 🤡 is an Entertainer he likes Gossiping and Creating Dramas . Fact is The Lakers Defense Was Very Good and Had a Great Game Plan . If U Go Back a Few Days / Zion was listed on Potential MVP list ...one Bad Game Later he''s Too Fat ????
@@rodwillis8029not before he has a bite first
Man, y'all came out on a mission. Nobody on our entire team was ready. They were just happy to be there. They enjoyed Vegas too much and forgot we had a business trip.
So thank you. We grew up that night.
This is why Zion is so special. The strength, agility, and touch around the rim are otherworldly
And the ability to finish dinner faster than anyone.
He's not special - Barkley did it better and played more.
And don't dare call him late for supper..
@@LakerTrianglehow many players have done it since Barkley? Only Zion so that means it’s special. Cmon bruh
unstoppable!!!!!! no one like this, if his healthy his unbeatable
An aggressive Zion is a great Zion !!!
A healthy aggressive Zion is a perfect Zion!!!
Is all time great player
Ain't really much you can do to stop him. His touch as a big man is RIDICULOUS.
People were so quick to drill him over ONE bad game. It’s so horrible how the media treats him and I hope he succeeds through the rest of his career
He still fat.
People didnt drill him for bad game, they did because of his no show vs lakers.
@4matic81 That's Willie Green job to put Zion in position to win , not always one on one . Zion didn't force plays, and Pels didn't get him in the game !
The media actually wants good from him but he's out of shape and don't look like he wants to be on the team thats why they say the things they say
his teammates were just as much to blame for that loss to the lakers.cj and Ingram tookway more shots than him and shot terribly. Zion was actually 6/8 from the field, but he still took all the blame. Cj McCollum is a terrible passing point guard and Ingram thinks it his team. the pelicans dont let Zion thrive, limiting his shots and minutes. if Zion is shooting 80 % he should get more than 20 shots, its simple math. @@4matic81
It’s nice to see Zion being assertive, and demanding the ball instead of being too laid back like he admitted to being when the Pels faced the Lakers.
He's consistently assertive. Mf has a bad game and people trash him.
@@anopoabednego6173 Zion's problem is he's the ultimate team player. He's not a glory hog so that sometimes leads to him deferring to lesser talents.
We see the use of his build, athleticism, and finishing ability but what people forget to give props to is how tight his handles are.
Every fan in the world could stop believing in him, but I won't. So fun to watch. He will get it together he's young you can SEE it he's a great kid.
I’m right there with you, been watching him since his 10th grade debut, it’ll be stupid to give up on him this far in his career
He is a great example of you dont need to shoot from outside to be successful. This man is elite at finishing around the rim. And his ball handling is amazing. The way he comes off of ball screens at his size is crazy. 😳💪👏🎉
Would love to see him develop some type of middy/3 tho. More less so he can stay healthy, but it would open his game up even more.
He gets his buckets the old fashioned way!
Zion was unstoppable tonight, love to see that.
Zion has a ton of potential to leave a lasting impact in the league, with his name, aggressive play style, and finishing power. But, we all know there are areas he needs to work on, without repeating it too much.
Zion has a soft touch and excellent technique finishing at the basket.
The fact that 6’6 Zion is flying by and laying it up between two 7footers with ease is crazy
Zion is really him. The doubters will learn
Damn and T wolves got one of best defenses in the league..
Zion took that shid personal lmao
He really needs to find a way to play more cuz i be forgetting about him. Bro averages 25 for his career lol. He aint no bum.
Zion is the best slasher in the league when he’s on
he be slashing those cakes
Those offensive rebounds, thats what I wanna see. With his size and jumping ability he can box anybody out and jump to get it. He should be getting 2 - 3 offensive rebounds a game.
He is getting that.
Still way off the last season(pre-injury) shape tho
I love that Zion drives to the basket almost every time instead of tryna be a shooter
Uhhhh he has no other choice……
Yea he needs to develop a jumper and fast
Against teams that gameplan well he’s not going be good. We saw that against the Lakers. Bron knew what Zion was going to do before Zion did anything. He locked him up. In the playoffs Zion is going struggle
@@matthewford3778 Why ? you cant build a wall around someone who is a legit passer. It opens everything else up.
Zion 'not being in basketball shape' is still better than 99.99% of the world who are haha.
Not better than old man Bron
@@matthewford3778 True, LeBron is in that 00.01%! :D Zion is awesome though.
@@matthewford3778in season tourny doesn’t mean shit
@@mikk6340 a wins a win. You can’t take that away. You are a hater
He doesn't compete against 99% of the world. He competes against the best in the world. That's why it matters that he be in shape.
It's great Zion actually cared to watch the many basketball analysts who criticized him about his conditioning this past weekend. The message have finally got into his head. Hopefully he will make changes to his conditioning then win league MVP this season. 💪
are you seriously dumb enough to believe that
He ain't winning it this year but he def has the potential to win it one day. Has to keep getting better and has to stay healthy. I'm rooting for him.
@@doc8013 He'll have to adjust to more defensive attention eventually as well.
People underestimate his finishing...It is not easy to finish like him near the rim VS wolves. Rather than just powerful drives (which he can) he is, creating space and make use of the board with soft touch.
Wolves have the no 1 defense
@@jirimijirimijirimiyet Lakers played better defense on him than the Wolves
@@matthewford3778 It wasn't even defense. It was just Zion being unmotivated.
His QUICKNESS is underrated
Zion is jordan-esque and he needs the ball in his hand a lot to be most effective... And his coach and team have to step back and trust his ability to take over games and lead them to victories.... I believe in him regardless of what they try to scrutinize him about.... He's the truth waiting to happen.... If he can get that weight down and play a little better defense , you got a monster on your hands
Yea if Jordan was fat and could not shoot for shit
Facts the reason he had a bad last 3 games is cause they try to put the ball in Ingram hand too much when zion is that guy. He needs the ball
How does he finish some of these layups,?! He bullies people with so much strength and then goes to the most graceful finger rolls and floaters! Its incredible ive never seen anything like it
You know he is just going to drive but you still can't stop him....imagine him with a respectable jumper
Imagine him staying healthy!
Lebron stopped him.
@@jamesleigh6166Zion dropped 33 on him before
That jumper might be broken beyond repair
Seriously the only thing he has to do is develop and elbow/freethrow jumper and its over. They give him oceans of space.
He's like juggernaut in this game, an unstoppable force even the wolve's rim protectors wasnt able slow him and the way he attacks the basket, he moves like steph in shaq's body.
He has the smoothest touch around the rim. With his size and power, it's amazing how he controls his layups and floaters. One player comes into my mind who struggles with layups especially when bursting, it's westbrook. He has bad control over the ball when going around the rim.
Everybody’s a *basic* defender when guarding Zion and he just proved it here scoring on Gobert & Kat at ease
imagine he is so fit and he adds things to his game like jump shots free throws and 3 pts! that would be monster monster !
ZION HAS A WHOLE SEASON AHEAD OF HIM THIS 1 GAME HOPEFULLY SPARKS HIS SUPERSTAR TWITCH🎯💪🏿💪🏿
good luck
How someone built like a wing version of Shaq could have this soft of a touch in the paint is crazy..health really do be the major roadblock for this guy to reach superstardom
he plays more like jordan... legit. Super soft touch around the rim. Doesn't have to muscle every dunk. Most of his lay ups are just straight up and in. Not even off of the backboard. He and Jordan are the same height. Jordan had a 48 inch vert. When Zion weighed 275 at duke he had a 48 inch vert. SO think of it that way. Same height, speed, jumping ability of Jordan... but would be shredded at 260. Jordan was shredded at 205. Scary potential. But he will never let himself live up to it. If Jordan or kobe had Zions body they would average 50
Hope he keeps this level of heart! It's what he missed against the Lakers.
If he developed a jumper, sheesh! However, I love watching him simply dominate with post moves and finishing in the paint. It's such a breath of fresh air in this era of jacking 3's and shooter dominant games.
this man dropped 36 without a 3 pointer that makes it even more impressive
Loved it. This is old school basketball, the way I like it.
Good response game by zion
So many Zion haters out there. Dude balls consistently and is a budding leader on his team. He's got nothing to prove to anyone outside the locker room.
Can’t wait to catch a Pelicans game this szn !! 🔥🔥 Geaux Z! 💯
Consistency is what every young talent needs...hope he become one
Massive strength plus agility and bounce, soft touch, what else you want? Zion. Zion. Zion.
Zion celebrates with a 3 course meal after the game to stay in game shape 😂
You look like a big boy yourself tho 😂
This is what we want to see! Smooth like butter, assertive and engaged. #gozion
That combination of power and touch around the basket is unmatched 🏀
That final play @02:53, moved McDaniels like 7 ft with his shoulder
Dudes still crazy good the media don’t give this man the respect he deserves
The criticism is insane. He is still moving great. If he is 6'6 285, this is really impressive.
Lebron is 6'8 and 250 lbs, Gobert is 7'1 - 243 lbs, and KAT is 7'0, 248 lbs. If Zion loses too much size, he won't be as effective at 6'6.
If he can get to 260, he should be fine for a while.
That’s right young man put in that work say what you won’t this is the guy 😤 keep working 😤😤😤😤😤🚨🚨🚨🚨
That spin is crazy! Still needs to loose the weight tho he’s to fast to be weighting that much!
at 270 lbs he can be much quicker and still overpower dudes easily
@@sravalm21 he dot gotta be 230 like 245 maybe 250, only saying this cause of his past health issues
way to bounce back zion
I don’t understand the whole “out of shape” conversation when he literally balls like this every time he plays regardless of what “shape” he’s in. His problem has ONLY been injuries.
He’s been injured all the damn time COS he’s out of shape. That’s the whole point. No point playing well for 10 games then being injured for 70.
Zion can be lighter , last season before injury he was in better shape. There’s another level of Zion that can be unlocked if he kept his conditioning and motor up. There’s no reason Zion should be averaging 5 boards a game when he can easily average 10.
He was a better player at duke. I am 100% serious
U don't know what that kinda weight does 2 the knees overtime 🙏🏾
I hope he starts going crazy and uses this for motivation
Way to bounce back young bull 🙏🏾
Zion be like a Lion attacking the rim like there's a steak attached to it. Got that old school style play for power forwards 15 foot or less range and physical in the paint fun to watch tough on the body
The monster Zion 💪💪💪💪
Zion play like this every game demand the ball dont take no alley hoops cause thats just extra energy wasted the lay up package is crazy your unstoppable with out dunking and you can dribble stay focused zion!!!
Efficiency crazy. Did not settle for jump shots
What jump shot ??? ... minnesota's Stupid for crowding him , that's DUMB COACHING ... He has 1-move from the SAME SPOT , EVERYTIME 🤷♂️! ...
cant stop him
What’s scary is how good he still is while being overweight. Zion is gifted and we all want him to succeed.
he's so big but so slithery at the same time... that spin move is unstoppable
after he dunked one real hard tonight he yelled "STOP CALLING ME FAT" lol
My man spin moves is so crisp..it's like a crossover almost the way he gets to rim
This how you know the Lakers Defense is something different!
Get your fitness Zion stay at it bro.
He so quick but towns n def gobert looked shook of the speed and obv the hammer threat
great to see him doing well, he reminds me of sir Charles
A healthy zion is a generational talent
This team can be anybody in the West when they are serious🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Too Strong~ Too Smooth~
Hell Ya!!
At 1:25 that play was sick as hell. Top 10 for sure.
Calling first so nobody could say it but good lord zion good shit
if this guy can stay healthy and works a little bit on his jumpshot ( he doesn't need to be durant) just to give defenders something to think about. he could be one of the greats in the history of the nba. his efficiency around the rim is insane. also It is sad that in 5 seasons he played only 130 games out of 410 games.
he's that big and that good....crazy
That floater is coming along nicely.
THE VERY YOUNG BUT WITH CLASSIC MODE, 🤩🤩🤩
I pray my dawg take this shit serious now and start to develop his right..... once he get serious and start to develop more..... 💥 💥 💥 league ass is grass 💯 💯..... LOCK TF IN ZION... ya know BIG DAWG SHIT 💪 💪 💪
Good way to respond🎉zion really looks like Shaq
if you see me in your dark room at night smiling please stay calm
Zion💪
Let's GO Zion!!!
he really need jumper at least 15ft jumpshot, as he get older, that quickness will diminish.. i think he needs to develop it now, it will cause problem later on... given that his athleticism really took a hit due to injury, he doesnt float like he was on his rookie year.
He's getting better and better I should of invested in his cards
Does Zion not have a jumper? 36 pts in the paint is insane.
he made like 10 free throws. also with the way he plays a jumper isn't necessarily needed
Great game for Zion. I think he needs to add the back to basket game to his arsenal so he can use his strength on its full potential.
I think his face up game is awesome, given how well he handles the ball while using his strength to get to the rim so effortlessly.
If he develops a reliable jumper or hook, he can go more back to the basket.
KAT sidestepping that first dunk casually :D
that last drive is a prototype of what most defenders do when he go to the basket. just standing in front of him and hope that no calls are given. and all those are fouls mind you.
And what they say about him is still true, hes just so good that he can still do this, but he could be the most dominant player in the league and he will never
zion aint no bust
He definitely a fatty 😂
Zion is wicked
Damn Zion showing off
Damn he took what Shaq and Charles said personally 🔥🔥
Air Gumbo is feastin 🔥
A special talent.
These highlights make it obvious that no team was gonna try to stop the “King” from winning the “FIRST EVA” IST. Yeah that’s right… OBVIOUS. Pacers wanted to win so bad that their coach didn’t play his two best shooters together in the fourth quarter… thereby allowing the Lakers to “clamp down” on D. Yeah, if you don’t spread the floor with deep shooting threat’S all the Lakers had to do was double Haliburton as soon as he crossed the timeline. Thanks like if the Dub’s would try to win The Finals with only half of the Splash Brothers on the floor the entire 4th quarter. Carlisle subbed Heild in for Halli out in the 4th. Now that is the recipe for winning yo!!!
he went off
I know when you came in the NBA he was going to be a beast 😮😮❤❤❤
Who fat now haters . Get buckets young blood 🐐❤️
Zion Williamson best player in the NBA when healthy.
Baby Thanos killing it!!
"I got a beer belly Stephen A? Here hold my 40oz" - Zion
He can be top 3 players In the NBA if he puts his all to the sport
Sheeeh Zion 🔥🔥🔥
