Man if you love basketball you gotta love those Lonzo lobs to Zion.
Lonzo lol, anyone can feed zion
03evo8 4g63 yeah you don’t watch basketball if you’re gonna downplay how pinpoint Lonzo passes are.
If you don’t like that you don’t like NBA basketball!!
Lol it takes 0 skill to feed zion because the beast will catch even the shittest pass
they have great chemistry
Why do people keep hating on Zion dude is 19 years old .. if any teenagers scores 10 points in NBA game I'm impressed
Not many people him. Not right now at least.
Who da faq would hate on this KID
Honestly. I don’t see much hate comments
People hate the coverage he is getting, not necessarily him.
@@Gamez6444 I like how the guy says 19 years old, but if u asked someone who doesnt know basketball how old he is they probably would say like 30. especially the other day when he was guarding Lebron. the guy is bigger than lebron. Jesus god loves Zion alot. God doesnt exist btw
If he was here from the beginning of the season they’d be in the playoffs
CallMe3 clearly not....
C.I.A The Central Intelligence Agency was he there the whole season??? I think not!!! Are u special ed how u goin have that account name but lack intelligence 😂💀
They lost🤦🏾♂️
No
@@francisformlyknownasc.i.a2128 prolly they would u never know cuh
Lonzo is so happy to be the pg of the pelicans
@Almighty Black'Man zion's rookie stats so far are better. Don't get me wrong. Zion knows his strengths and doesn't feel the need to prove anyone wrong
@Almighty Black'Man reminds me more of Barkley than anyone.
Brandon Wiley brons are more all around 20-6-6
@@soloyoung3915 how many minutes?
Brandon Wiley does it matter I mean. We talking about him having a better rookie season bron. But he hasn’t even had a better rookie season than luka
He is a pure pleasure for watching. Also being a former ball player I can say he is every teammate's dream and off course every coach's dream as he plays so simple,so precisely, exactly according to the "book". He doesn't make any unnecessary moves, doesn't tap the ball too much, doesn't leave opponents any chance to subdue him. All around player, so useful, mature and amazing. A pure wonder of nature. Just 19 and already, as many people nicely pointed out, he is bullying grown men.:)
This man out here bullying grown man lol
Easily bro
AL COKY hes avg 24 on 58% fg
Tgo he clearly knows nothing about basketball haha. Zion has a super high shooting percentage and this joker is talking about it taking him a lot of attempts
Zion Williamson averaged 25.7 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists in February, earning him Western Conference Rookie of the Month honors
@AL COKY he averages like 15 fg attempts a game. Conpare this to all the other guys averaging 24 ppg and you'll see how amazing that is
some of yall seem to forget that this guy is A ROOKIE.. the fact that hes putting up these insane nunbers at that age should tell you everything you need to know about how special he is
He has no skill to his game whatsoever
prod. imoja exactly think of how much he can grow in the next few seasons
He and Luka about to be the future.Maybe Ja and tatum too
@@iiMOJA how can someone without skill can put up 24 ppg?Lmao
Facts.....
I dont care how much games this guy played , He is the Rookie of the Year , The future of the league
Even if Pels don’t make the playoffs, it doesn’t take away from the complete monster and star Zion is. 🔥
Keevon Jones I wish the Pelicans were as good as they were in the preseason, while they weren’t they played like the best team in the league. If Zion never got hurt, the Pelicans would have a 34-26 Record right now at least.
@Joshua Rivers a healthy Portland and Golden State would be in the playoffs too
@Joshua Rivers Lilliard injuries
@Joshua Rivers warriors in there wouldn't be a 8 spot convo at all Morant lucky Zion got hurt and Warriors hurt relax
Lonzo dropped 26 on 9/12 shooting. Feel like he’s going to finally become what we all thought he could be in the league
If they just let Lonzo play his game; him and Zion can be a nasty duo for years to come
Could you imagine if chris paul was there instead of lonzo? Dear god lol it would be lob city again( its already lob city as we speak)
Especially when the defense dont know who to really focus on!
How many times we said that tho ..
Facts. Man this Pelicans team gon be a serious problem in the NBA....
1:01 Definitely not a coincidence with the music.
He's on a different level
zion it seems like luka ad kd lbj and duncan shaq hakeem bird magic kareem wilt before him is the real deal...some players you just know are going to succeed at a high level and perform an change cultures not just be good on their own...zion seems to be one of these types of dudes so far mature for his age...those are some huge names I get it but they all were obvious superstars from day 1...there aren't that many sure fire 1st ballot famers the day they get drafted..theres 12 dudes are on that very short list that you just knew would change the game since they were teens
Ric Bucher made a great point today on The Herd. He said the reason the TV ratings are down is because we consume the NBA through social media like Twitter and RUclips. Zion is perfect for this era. Short highlights.
Plus the NBA games are primarily on cable TV. No one has cable anymore. NFL games all come on network TV except Monday Night Football...that's why their ratings rebounded this year.
Pat4Clippers mm i think it’s because of league pass
I don't remember the last time I watched an NBA game on TV. I have league pass and RUclips.
That's why they stop freedawkins channel
Zion is da man!! He's already matured into the NBA
As consistent as Zion is, they shouldn't have lost this game at home with KAT not playing. C'mon, Pels.
Pat4Clippers the bench !!
The teams defense is very bad, but especially so for Zion. Saw a tweet from Andrew Lopez that said Zion gave up 18 points as the primary defender. Defense lost the pels the game.
Tell that to his teammates
Not to be weird but remember zions debut how many 3s he made. Feel like he should do more 3s could add up in close games
I've been thinking the same thing. Maybe four 3 point attempts a game, it's not like he's a bad 3 point shooter
Perhaps he’s trying to get the hang of playing in the NBA .. that shot will come when he gets more comfortable .. give him some time he’ll become the player we hope he will be
James Parker I’m sure once he’s more comfortable taking that shot he’s gonna let em fly if they leave him space
Bhekizizwe Ndlovu he definitely should not be taking 4 a game. He’s a bully in the paint and needs to live there. 1 three or fewer per game is fine
I like the signature penguin walk
This guy needs to get rookie of the year, idc how many games he has 🔥💯
Facts bro. He's done more than Ja in less games. The whole argument based on him not playing enough games is garbage. He's literally shown more and accomplished more in less games than Ja. No disrespect to ja. But Zion is the better player hands down.
He just dunks, Ja is by far the better and more complete player.
@@darlingtonpadgett6326 LMAO at he just dunks. Have you been watching? He has highlights made out of offensive rebounds, 3s, outlet and no look passes. I can say the same thing about Ja that he just dunks.
@@rusty935 he is scoring more efficiently with just "dunking" tho. Im not saying he deserves the roy over ja but to say that he's just dunking lmao casuals
@@rusty935 so did shaq and he's one of the greatest of all time
Rookie of the year talk has officially shifted...
Daniel Barea nah he missed to many games and morant is pulling crazy numbers too
@@HunterXenios its not even crazy numbers..only got one tipple double so far, 17/3/7 stats..Zion was so impressive and unstoppable..indeed, youre right due to many missed games Ja deserves the award..but absolutely Zion will end up all NBA team at the end of the season..thats how great he is..
Like if Zion is better than Morant
I wouldn't say better. Just impact-fully more valuable. Morant is one of the highest skilled players in the league.
@@DonBrowsing More skilled doesnt mean better lol. Obviously the player with more impact is the better player
@@georockmann7113 I'm saying similar to you. However "better" in sports can mean different things. Certain skillets can also take a team to the top. Those 2 players are so great I can build a team with any one of them.
@@DonBrowsing Yeah but the point is that just because a player is more skilled it doesnt mean he's better than a less skilled player. It's all about how a player uses his tools.
@@DonBrowsing no better stop it
Zion is really doing good!! Keep up the good work
Literally too easy zion is the most UNDERRATED player in the nba and deserves none of the hate he gets. You look at Zion, he’s 19, humble and is already a top 15 player at 19! if he develops a consistent jumpshot keeps his weight and athleticism under control he will simply be the greatest player of all time
just unbeatable under the post. Kid is a monster
He can jump incredibly fast.
Who else can fly with such velocity?
Great talent.
BASKETBALL IN THE LATE 2010s: SHOOTING 3s
Me: now this is real basketball
Zion out here looking like a veteran
They got that NBA YoungBoy bumping at the beginning 😂
Zion remind me of Shawn kemp. Stay healthy young fella ! 💪🏻
1:02 grown man
Be didnt move him tho? lol the defender held his ground, zion just got the put back
Mohamed Adan grown man
Zion been scoring over 20 since he been n da nba ✅
Zion still hasn't fully recovered from that knee injury you can tell he's nowhere near as explosive as he was before busting that shoe open at duke but he's still giving these dude's major problems💪💪✊✊
He is he just saves more energy
@@ComdeyProductions he saving energy due to injury and sitting out this seasaon made him a little lazy. He'll get back in shape but glad he's taking it easy. I was sick he missed those dunks from the all star game. Smh
The explosiveness is ridiculous. It almost catches the defenders off-guard every time!
If you doubted Zion skill level for the NBA u should rethink that doubt now
I don’t anybody has to rethink their thoughts on his skill. He’s not a very skilled player. He’s just super raw and explosive. Give him a summer and he’ll become polished because rn he’s just a physical monster but that won’t do him well for his whole career at his height and weight.
@@beesknees8296 he is definitely a skilled player and once he gets a good jumper his game is going to be crazy
@@rusty935 lmao
@@TheOneOnlyLutherhe's not a skilled player he is very explosive and his athleticism is high he is a around the basket type player to be skilled you have to have a post game can make a fade away jump shot have mid range game have a jump shot Hakeem Olajuwon, Patrick Ewing, David Robinson, Charles Barkley Karl Malone ect. That is what you call skilled
@@skyw2636 lol ok buddy
*Grown men are nothing to this dude. Giannis is the only one who’s he’s had to really try against. If he works on his jump shot, it’s over*
ROYALLY PISSED OFF! Sounds just like giannis
U forgot lebron 😏
andre estian Bron is nothing to Zion right now
And if curry was 280 with mad hops and a inside game it would be over..and if steve kerr was younger with hops it would be over and if shaq had a jay it wud be over over over..man stfu son the game was over..W for the pels.
bruh what you mean its over lmao it is already over :D
Imagine Ja Morant will be the Rookie of the year but Zion Williamson really deserve more
They both deserve it. An argument can be made both ways. Grizz would not be in playoff picture without Ja
Everyone says he's a mix of Shaq and Chuck's playing style, but I'd say he has something of Rodman as well - his ability to grab rebounds and quick second (even third) jump in the paint.
Im gonna tell you right now....this is the UCLA Lonzo I loved watching. Keep Zion and Zo tog.
His offensive rebounding is flat out monstrous. His average rpg is like 7 , i bet over half of those are ofensive rebounds. Also Ball works so good with him, most of his assists are lobs to Zion, reminds me of how Lebron and AD work in Lakers now.
Very strong player imagine we can get strong rebound.
Very talented players more blessings to come and be humble always.
If you had never seen him or heard of him the first time you saw him jogging down court you would NEVER guess that he has the leap OR the skills he does.... aside from how heavily built he is- the way he jogs kind of looks laboured but then he just elevates with the top of his head above the rim LOL
Probably the most fun to watch out of any player in a long time. What a special talent
As a long time Warriors fan, i love watch Zion's highlight play.
Defensively, it's his Achilles heel right now but the effort and relentless to make up for it is positive. Offensively, a complete juggernaut in the low post and will continue to grow and figure out his strengths on that end so the ceiling is to the stars right now!
4 grown men trying to stop zion...kid's a beast! love watching him play! 1:09
Everybody made fun of that chino hills offense but every so often Zo pulls it out. That full court lob for zion to get that quick post up reminded me of zo and melo passing it down to gelo lmaooo
Zion is literally a different breed.
Nothing don't surprise me this young man is amazing
19 year old average 24.2 ppg beyond unheard off in his rookie year
Zion's Signature Move
Announcer: Zion backs him down
Announcer: Shot blocked
Announcer: Offensive Rebound
Announcer: And he jams it in
Zion is blasting recognized strongman in the paint. These big dudes in the NBA that Zion blasted aren't punks!
I'm a derrick rose and lebron fab but this kid is the next best thing ...
Zion being 280 is benefiting from that more than we thought
Maan this kid somethin else man..........I love me some Zion
Zion is the most dominant player in the league
Dude really got his own rebound in the middle of 4 people, and then he put it back up, made the shot, AND got the foul
1:06 come on 2k, how did he get that rebound?
Zion is getting in game shape quicly, if he works on his ball handling in the summer, hes a 25ppg + for sure🤯🤯
He is already averaging almost 25ppg 😅
He has the best ball handling and shooting for a 6'6 guy ever. His step back 3's are better than Hardens, fadeaway shot's better than Jordan's, cross over better than Iverson, he is the greatest basketball player ever.
The NBA will pull a 95 Hill-Kidd this yr, Zion has been amazing in a short time and Ja is just out of this world...crazy how two kids from South Carolina are ballin the hardest
The most impressive point is I am disappointed with this crazy 25 points and 8 rebounds game as a headline. 😂😂😂
He is not a human.
Man only 6’6 crazy
kingrclrg he’s like an ultra athletic version of Charles Barkley.
Shon Hollis Barkley was very athletic but Zion is on another level in that department
BASELINE JORDAN!!!!! Exactly, that’s why I said an ULTRA athletic version of Barkley. The way he dominates the glass at a shorter height than his opponents reminds me of Charles, but even more explosive.
This kid is bullying those grown man.. Is a murder!!!!😂
him and ja are so entertaining to watch
He plays like shaquille oneal on this one dominating in the paint wow this kid is not human hes like a machine in the paint
DEAR GOD PLEASE KEEP ZION HEALTHY
This era is about "snacking" information. HTC knew this with BlinkFeed which copied Flipboard. Even I don't have time to watch games. Zion is perfect for this era. We consume him with 3-minute RUclips highlights.
This guy is now the dangerous teenager in the NBA.
Zion is so much fun to watch
Someone taught him to land. He hangs on the rim every time now and comes down soft. Keep saving those legs big fella !!
11 straight 20 pt games at 19 wow
This is real basketball, not just three-pointers
At 1:10 he took on 4 players omg 😱
How did the Pelicans lose this game??
Some Guy Alvin Gentry that’s all imma say
It's a team game.. What do u expect?
Master Of Cap thats all you got to say? Lol I’ll say defense plain and simple
the pelican's coach SUCKS !!!
the team had this look on their face like they already lost...this really showed in the lack of defense, poor turnovers, and missed key free throws.
Zion is great. I've watched him since college. He is the next Jordan, sort of. Different style. Jordan was an artist. What they aren't talking about is what Ball has become. He is finding his game. Sure, he feeds the ball to Zion, but he is on top of his game and only getting better.
It's hilarious how amped the Timberwolves fans get when Zion dunks on their team.
I can't even knock it
Never get enough of Zion.
1:02 he goes 1v4 and still bullies them
Haven't seen this much excitement since bo Jackson. .... tecmo bowl..the good ol dayz
Pelicans offensive strategy:
1. Lonzo Ball half court pass to Zion
2. Lonzo Ball full court pass to Zion
3. Lonzo Ball lob to Zion
4. Everyone pass to Zion
Lonzo and Zion are one of my favourite duo's
im loving all these new superstars that the nba has gotten the past two years
If he had a right hand finish he’d be even more of a beast
Lavar was right about Lonzo.. those dimes fuel the team. Good chemistry here
Zion Bullyson!
Bully Williamson 😂
They have a good team just a bad coaching staff Alvin gentry won’t be the coach next year
Hopefully not
He’s pretty good tbh
living Mybestlife how so
@@stunnerkumah Only thing i like about him is he pushes pace on offence.. other than that i have questions which need answers
Dylan Dennis he’s a players coach, the team loves him. Unfortunately his rotations are terrible, Lonzo only getting 33 minutes is ridiculous and where was Hayes!?
Crazy how a single zion highlight vid gets more views than certain game highlights lol this is the 8th wonder of the world
If this dude can get a consistent mid range game😧
what a beast Zion is
Lonzos proving everyone wrong I'm so glad he's coming threw
Zion is like a tanker.. destroying every one in the paint.n
A 19yr old beast!
He's a beast, unstoppable, at 19 years old.
I'm pretty sure next seasons he's going to drop weight to gain more agility, speed and even more vertical jump.
He is a Supertalent a definition of generational talent. He is just Wow
This is just not fair!!!! Shouldn't be this good, this early.
Keep the pelicans the way they are and next year they'll be a top tier team
imagine zion with a well developed mid range shot 😱
He is great! But fr ESPN needs to chill with this rookie of the year for Zion when it is obviously Ja Morant
Tell me this: if zion didnt miss all those games would u consider him roty over ja
Nah the only reason Ja is ROY because he has more games. Zion is on another level. That kid is literally bullying every bigman in the league
@@kujone Yeah I would but he didn't.
Next thing once Zion breaks outta rust, is prolly focusing on rebounding
and protecting the paint area.
Which, I believe, he will learn as he goes bc those 2 things come with experience imo.
Scoring has become just so natural for him now so no worries there.
i can't even score 12 points on 2k.. this is the new goat 🐐
I think ESPN’s water is breaking
