What I love about Zion is he is old school and giving people under 30 a modern day glimpse into what the NBA was like in the 80's and 90's and the type of players that era had and the type of ball they played.
@@cesarcorona5009 wait thats what i said, that he was tired, i get that you were saying that he was doing this for fun but like were our opinions on the situation so different that you had to reply 5 months after i posted it?
Gdam that impromptu dunk contest at the end was hella hype even tho they missed. This was my favorite rising stars game and the leagues future remains bright.
Also, "let the kids have some fun"? These are multi-millionaires who are paid to entertain the fans, it should be the fans who are having fun, not them. Some fans prefer to watch them try to win the game with heart and pride. You want dunks? There is a dunk contest tomorrow that Zion could've entertained them with, yet he declined the invite.
Zion still hasn’t gotten back the lift he had in HS and college. Imagine when he gets those legs under him and in game shape... we will be clamoring to see him and Ja in the dunk contest next year.
He's not getting it back without losing weight, specifically in his upper body he doesn't need to work out his upper body otherwise he just will gain weight and he already is too strong there. Statistically there has never ever been a player his weight that's been successful and under 7 feet, the forces on his knees are many times the forces on anyone else due to his explosiveness and weight I say this as a big fan of his I just hope he doesn't damage his knees at such a young age when you calculate the forces his knees go through with his vertical and weight its many times any other players really ever, so he will have to lose weight before the damage is done. you can't be nearly 300 lbs with a 40+ inch vertical if you want to keep that vertical for longer than a few years tops, it would be such a shame if his weight early on in his career right now prevented his true potential years down the road I mean this as someone who is a giant zion fan
Give it 2 years tops, he just needs to get used to playing 80 games a season. All those people tellin him what to do with his body when its obv he knows best
Lei C ya it was. Kobe always put on a show at all star game and that’s what they did last night. I love Kobe but don’t act like he was locking people down all star weekend lol
These dudes just played a full game up and down at 70% effort. And the fact that Zion could even get close with those dunks at the end of all of that is insane. At the end of a game or practice I could barely dunk anymore because of how sluggish your legs get
The Sportsmanship displayed between two such young players when Doncic made that shot from past half court is incredible. Trae and Luka, you are the future of the NBA and have set the tone of exactly what it means to love basketball. My hat is off to these two young men.
I was so excited too watch Zion do some highlights reel dunk. Man I was like Come on Zion close the show & I was like no!! I jumped up down crazy man jesus.
The Best Rising Stars Game so far.... These boyz coming to take over!!!!! Thank Curry Kyrie LeBron Durant Kawhi and others for inspiring these young guys you can see there game in these youngins'
Never been this impressed by young players. They look so polished already. The NBA is in good hands
Omg so good
Not really, they show no competition. Everything now is just for Instagram, this league is softer now. 🤦♂️
@@will74326 they having fun cause its a for fun game? lmao this isnt for a championship chill bro
Lebron buys his hair from Living Spaces dude. It’s the all star game.
@@commonsense1443 So they work hard to become an all star and then disappoint when the day comes? You can still have fun and compete.
Zion is literally the orange Monstar from Space Jam 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭
Lmao facts 🔥🔥
They knew what they where doing
That's a good comparison lol That monster was Sir Charles as well and they often get compared.
Because he’s a new generation Charles Barkley on steroids. Great comparison
This is for sure one of the most talented and exciting rising star games in a minute
No doubt I'm in shock lol
Omg no lie
Future looks good
man we got blessed
The Ja to Zion connection is what we’ve all been waiting for.
Zo to Zion - ZZ Tops!
Ja super cool fosho! But Zion got Zo, he dope
Man AAU must have been so fun
They could be the new Wade and Bron. Wouldn't ve surprised if they team up for a ring fr.
Zo passes to Zion like this during actual games that count haha the Zion Zo connection is better
@@zenitsuthunder3946 with the lack of loyalty, I wouldn't be surprised
Letting them dunk at the end was SUPER DOPE
They should go 1on1 at the last 4 mins or so.
Heck throw a 3 point contest in there too why not? Forget tomorrow's contests do it all today.
Even Zion's misses are insane! He's a special dunker.
Zion said he dun wanna play dunk coz he dont wanna be known as ' dunk man' 😂
You sound like a Fool!
Gotta dunk it before you can call it a dunk.. 🤦♂️
what are you talking about ?
he would have made 1 or 2 if he wasn't tired.
What I love about Zion is he is old school and giving people under 30 a modern day glimpse into what the NBA was like in the 80's and 90's and the type of players that era had and the type of ball they played.
Good memories, Zion is a legend, such a humble, talented star, the future of NBA 🙌😃
Pelicans Coaching Staff freaking out every time Zion jumps and lands!
Danny M
Next thing you know, they’ll make Zion hang off the rim while someone gets a stool to get him down lol
😂
Lmfao so true
Luka playing in rising stars, AND hes a all star starter lol.
Brandon Munro don’t forget Trae too
So is Trae Young smh
Real 2k my player like
@@tjonesjr39able yeah but trey is trash compared to luka. Most lopsided trade in recent history. Plus he got picked dead last.
Chris Milyo you sound bout dumb asf
That Amry soldier got INTO it! I love it. He got up after everything
4:36
commentator: “windmill that sh*t” 😮😂
Lmao I thought the same thing, then I went back and I think he said “windmill action”😭
Look at Doncic smiling
i feel bad for zion, you could tell he was lowkey tired to be trying those dunks at the end but he was trying to give the crowd what they wanted
@@cesarcorona5009 wait thats what i said, that he was tired, i get that you were saying that he was doing this for fun but like were our opinions on the situation so different that you had to reply 5 months after i posted it?
Dude's 19yr old and played exhibition on limited minutes.
Those South Carolina boys Ja & Zion🔥🔥🔥🔥
@Drake Zakra no.
Yes, sir! Reppin the Soda City right here (Columbia, SC). Really proud of those young men.
Zion is from North Carolina.
@@christschool Zion is from Spartanburg, SC!!
@@lionelkennedy1394 I know you guys in SC are stupid, but I figured you'd at least know basic facts.
Gdam that impromptu dunk contest at the end was hella hype even tho they missed. This was my favorite rising stars game and the leagues future remains bright.
Barrett made his!
“Even his misses are impressive man”
The NBA's future is in good Hands... 💪🏾
Crossing my fingers that the future plays defense for 4 quarters instead of 1.
For those of yall saying "play for real" let the kids play man. Let's have some fun!
Anybody who said that didn't see the score lol
The day you don't play to win, is the day the game is no longer fun to watch.
@@Mayshimayshi These all stars games use to be entertaining. Now it's all trash.
@@Mayshimayshi its a rising stars game LMAO chill out bud

I want everyone to imagine what it would be like if Ja and Zion were on the same team. The greatest highlights would come outta that.
Zion should join Grizzlies
Zion still hasn’t gotten back the lift he had in HS and college. Imagine when he gets those legs under him and in game shape... we will be clamoring to see him and Ja in the dunk contest next year.
He does from time to time, but I know what you mean. He used to really fly lol u see glimpses though.
bilogskii22 he legit came back from and injury , give it time he don’t need to lose weight and needs to start shredding

@Tod Wilkinson you're a moron. He weighed like 240-260 in highschool
they had an in game dunk contest ha and people thought they would try 😂😂
But it wasnt annoying, unlike the actual all star game which is basically a fast break drill..
that was in the end, the outcome was decided
That non-existent defense game with a dunk content in the end was Mamba Mentality???
Lei C ya it was. Kobe always put on a show at all star game and that’s what they did last night. I love Kobe but don’t act like he was locking people down all star weekend lol
But missed all of the dunks lol
These dudes just played a full game up and down at 70% effort. And the fact that Zion could even get close with those dunks at the end of all of that is insane. At the end of a game or practice I could barely dunk anymore because of how sluggish your legs get
Soldier on the right at 2:26 missed the play but reacted along with everyone else hahaha
hahaha good catch!
A keen observer you are.
😂😂😂😂
He didn't missed it - he saw it on his phone.
@@andwol9501 the phone was facing the ground lol nice try tho
2:25 is a meme. Go to work internet
When you and ya homie convince ya boy to go ask his crush out
And he gets denied...
Lord please bless all these boys with great health.
The future looks very bright
Really had an in game dunk contest😂
2:24 that shot is wholesome. Can’t help but smile
Exactly, makes me happy. That's the future right now here
The Sportsmanship displayed between two such young players when Doncic made that shot from past half court is incredible. Trae and Luka, you are the future of the NBA and have set the tone of exactly what it means to love basketball. My hat is off to these two young men.
He’s still getting his legs back he was tired lastnight he was good to see him live much respect to all of them lastnight they put on a show
Now I need to see Ja and Zion in the real contest
Ja will WIN
Ja morant is just a different beast 🐐
2:24 the best moment in the game, thank me later
Why....
@@diamondgamebeats8826 U prob wont see a shot (camera) like that ever in a regular season game, call me corny but i think its a beautiful shot :D
Miles Bridges literally set the whole court on fire, but yeah.... Zion and Ja
This is such a good vibes.. I'm smiling all thru out of the video. Man the future is bright for this league.
them young boys was out there having fun....love to see it
Man sometimes I forget how young luka is lol he doesn’t look he’s supposed to be in this game. Way ahead of his time
Ja and Zion reminds me of Kobe and Shaq. Just give them a couple more years. What a duo!🔥
Zion and ja team op
Ja needs to be traded to pelicans
I agree
Haden Hall Zion in Memphis would be more exciting
nah..
No Zion need Need To Come to Memphis
Memphis already got jaren Jackson jr
These guys are supremely talented. The future of the NBA shines bright
2:25 soldier looking at phone, missed the whole thing, still got up to cheer as if he saw everything when everyone got up haha
Shin Nguyen he fake or what?
He is a simulation
It’s so cool to see how they’re just having fun and letting each other make crazy plays and stuff
That's what I like to see. A bunch of young talent havin' fun with each other regardless of whether they're on the same team or not.
Ja & zion are like kobe & shaq
Jah and Zion hooped together in highschool. Number 1 young duo
1:31 that pass baby! nice game ja morant
Mannnn love to see them 2boys from SC shinning for the state ❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️
Love this! Everybody seems to be having fun!!
I was so excited too watch Zion do some highlights reel dunk. Man I was like Come on Zion close the show & I was like no!! I jumped up down crazy man jesus.
love how luka is just all smiles
Look at Doncic with that smile 😊 4:38
South Carolina on the map
Bruh I literally was going to say the same thing
South Carolina been on map better look at the lady Gamecocks, national title, # n nation, n top 5 for over 5 yrs. Recognize
Already!!
@@ceceliahelms1131 Those ladies are badazz. Championship bound!!
Factz!
Ja Morant should be an All-Star !
not with 16 points per game lol
@@jackblack704 last time i checked he averaging 17.6 ppg and 7.1 Ast and 49% from shooting
Yes he should
So much young talent its crazy. and they seem like good young humble young men
Are we just gonna ignore the fact that a rookie accurately lobbed the ball and another rookie analyzed his movement in time to catch and dunk the ball
ja is something else.
Man there isn't words to put together the talent on that floor
The future of the NBA 🔥
Luka has always wanted to be like Steven Adams when he grew up and at 2:09 he did exactly that 😂😂😂
Imagine Zion Ja and Miles Bridges in a dunk contest 😳
Scary Duo of New Generation
Zion world !
Man this is how Rising Stars Games should be played. Everyone looked like they enjoyed every minute of it.
It's cool how they let them dunk...even though they hella missed 😂
2:07 Trae: "shoot it"
That was such a great moment
The future.
4:15 Give this man(beast) a manual.
Zion x Morant would work
Lebron wade and bosh, booker, russel, and KAT and now i really wanna see Zion, Ja, and RJ together
So much talent on that floor it's crazy
3:23 swear I saw lil pump😂
Yo just wait til next year
PG: Ja
SG: Melo
SF: AntMan
PF: Zion
C: James Wiseman
🔥🔥🔥
This is so hype! Young pkayers are so full of energy to be part of the all star game
Zion, Morant, Bridges had some clinic dunks
Pelicans gm had a heart attack
Maybe a light stroke 😂
@@lionelkennedy1394 Def pulled out the asthma pump
Level of athleticism is on a whole another level
Crazy
This what NBA should be about having fun!
The only all star year that I am more excited and entertained by the rookies and sophomores game than the main game.
The real MVP's are the military crowd behind the basket. They were hyped
Zion is even idol of rookie
Miles bridges ah high risserrr
The title of this video needs to be changed to “Miles Bridges puts on a show.”
Truly amazing growing talent
Omg the ayhletisim is off the charts, Those dunk attempts were crazy
This all star game will be classic in the coming years for sure..
Windmill that sh!!! 4:35
ZionZilla King of the Monster Dunks...
2019 had such a good draft class, I mean Zion, RJ, herro, hachimura, bol, morant
Ja Morant got that effortless bounce.
Proves the NBA is in great hands..next generation will have greats and let THEM be great..stop comparing and just enjoy
4:36 Windmill that s- 🤣
Clyde Villamor lmaoooo I didn’t even hear that part 😂😂🤦🏾♂️
He hear it from other videos comment section

The army vets in the back was loving this 😂
The Best Rising Stars Game so far.... These boyz coming to take over!!!!! Thank Curry Kyrie LeBron Durant Kawhi and others for inspiring these young guys you can see there game in these youngins'
Zion:throw it in the air and I will do my job
