Who remembers Ballislife and Ballervision posting games of Zion in Junior year (Spartanburg Day School) and people would just comment "He won't be doing that when he's in College with bigger competition." They must be punching the air rn.
jliveslife what does warm up shots have to do with his in game performance? What does Larry bird have to do with Zion? Giannis can’t shoot good and is still VERY effective and successful in the nba. He’s not a thug he’s a basketball player you must don’t know what a real thug is. Seems like your issues are with everything he does outside of his actual in game performance so this debate is pointless.
jliveslife he’s a basketball player what does church have to do wort his on court performance? When did Larry bird mention his church? Lol dunking the ball violently; how is he supposed to dunk? I’m done with this conversation.
The biggest dunk of the entire game is not on this video. It happened at about the 11:20 mark when Duke had 17 and then went up to 19. It was an absurd alley oop pass from RJ Barrett, after a weird pass from Jones. You can see it on the ESPN highlights. Not sure why it is not on this video.
Syracuse wasn t 100% win Don t count unc still gold standard win or lose.duke loses you 'll never live it down.0-3 maybe? good luck.ps those 2 wins do count.keep lying to yourself!!
@Tar heels fan 4 life they making excuses already 😆... Price of brooms ~ ☝ up Price of Kleenex ~ ☝ up Price of dust pans ~ ☝ up Flood insurance ~ waayy ☝ up!!!
Been following Zion since he was in the 11th grade. Most knew he was going to elevate over everybody. A lot did doubt though. Rj went off at the end! Windmill was crazy w/ hops!
How did you all miss putting the steal from Jones at mid court, to Barrett, and the lob to Zion? It is not in this video but it is in several other ESPN videos. #fail
every comment section be comparing RJ and Zion. does it really matter in the grand scheme of things though? they are just trying to succeed by getting to the nba and getting their game to the next level. Who cares whether one is better than the other, you can tell they are good friends and teammates and they all play better when together. Personally i’d rather focus on watching the high level of basketball they bring together than comparing them
Tar heels fan 4 life shut yo ass up that’s what all bandwagon fans say just because he’s a duke fan doesn’t mean he’s a bandwagon I’ve been a duke fan all my life and live in North Carolina so yea fuck Carolina
I think dude is talking about in game dunking. Dam zion haven't been in the nba, yet alone a dunk contest, yall take shit and run with it. Smh. Hes more athletic than everyone you named except jordan. Zion can win a dunk contest easy he to versitile.
Hugo Cilerin I’m a good dunker so I know what I’m talking about. I can do windmills and 360s and etc. but it’s not even close to what Zion does. Dude is an acrobat in the air.
So if you were Magic, would you rather have Zion on deck with that young athletic core of Kuzma, Ingram, and Ball...or LeBron? Which would be the smarter pick?
Ignoring the homophobic moron who doesn't realize you can edit comments...or get common and proper nouns and adjectives... I'm a Heel, too, and Zion has long since joined Grant Hill as the only two dookies I really wish had been in the right shade of blue. I worry about his knees and legs playing the way he does at anything like his current weight, though. Not a great recipe for LeBron-style sustained excellence.
DuhIdiotSports I agree. I can almost see his career being similar to that of Derrick Rose. A really explosive first few seasons and a potential MVP type season and then the physical toll kicks in from the ridiculous punishment his knees have endured
They all wanna say he's LeBron. My cousin said no, he's actually Shawn Kemp. Who he actually is, is Julius Peppers if Pep had chosen the other sport. And after tonight, he can rest up for the Big Dance. Don't want to get Lehighed, now. 😁
UNC hope y'all enjoyed them 2 Ws cuz best believe u gettin dat work tonight 💯💯💯 ZION on a mission, DUKE on a mission and ain't no team finna get in the way of that, so get ready cuz its comin 💯💯💯
This game officially ENDED the debate between Zion and RJ Barrett who is going to be #1 draft pick for 2019. When Zion is on the court, it is a whole lot different exciting ball game in both offensive and defensive end period.
I’m a 5’8 155ish pg( Mesomorph) I’m an explosive guard and my game is all about being ball handler and grabbing boards.IRRELEVANT INFO ^^^ I went to a shoe outlet today and saw LeBron soldier 12s in white Kyrie fly trap red white and blue Wat should I cop (Both £60)
I wonder if Zion is the only baller who has two games on youtube at the highest level for his age where he made every shot he took!! Thank you Zion for not sitting out. It was ballislife and James Harden was there
Yes sir Frank started the year slowly however him & Boeheim are coming on strong I don't like the fact he tried to trip Zion however he has played very well lately if Battle played who knows the outcome they actually look better without him better ball movement go cuse.
im a syracuse fan, but they have a lot of problems, they stand around on offense waiting for howard or battle to shoot a crap shot, they have no sense of where they are on the court (they s out of bounds more than they should, and when they do a step back they're always just short of the 3pt line.) boeheim seems to do most coaching during the game when he takes a player out just to yell at them about a small mistake (which takes away confidence of the players.) they have a 6'10 player that is an excellent passer, which they never use, a 7'3 center which doesn't have any plays run for him, along with a strong center, which they never run post plays for, or seem to work on boxing out with in practice, casey who is a good fast driver to the basket, who never plays, and brissett that doesn't even seen to try, and he plays more than guys that actually do try. they can't make 2nd half adjusts to save their lives. and they have a mediocre record because they play down to their competition when they should get easy wins. a lot of these things would be fixed if boeheim gave a damn outside of tournament season (so they start being coached too late in the season to actually win games) boeheim is a great coach when he actually coaches, but he doesn't care in the regular season of they aren't playing NC or Duke. even if its virginia they don't seem to care, so thats why they don't have a better record... but hey thats just a theory... A BBALL THEORY, thanks for reading!
The "gather step" is not a thing in college. He caught the ball with his left foot on the floor, stepped right, stepped left, and jumped. We have a rare and precious thing: a call of traveling in the comments under a RUclips basketball video that's actually correct!
*DUMBASS* I USE TO ALWAYS YELL AT PEOPLE LIKE U ON HERE FOR SAYING SUCH DUMBSHIT and actually really believing it!!! Soon you'll also start to realize how Barrett is a ball hog and tries to be a prime time play maker like Zion and doesn't pass the ball to Zion when Zion is wide open just to make more shots and try to steal the light bcus he's jealous of him and bcus of that is why 90% of the time Duke falls behind in games bcus he's missing shots and missing wide open plays and passes, just so that he can take the shot and miss any way !!!! BARRETT IS TRASH DEFINITELY NOT A 1ST ROUND NBA PICK THERES SO MANY OTHER GOOD PLAYERS ON OTHER TEAMS WAY BETTER THAN HIM THAT GET IT DONE WITH NO ZION ON THEIR TEAM!!!!
K G I knew a player like that ( not personally) that ppl said he was a ball hog ran ppl out of town will never be this that and couldn’t win without him or him but he had a tremendous work ethic and kept working at it and he became the most skill player in nba history ( not best I said skilled ) and became arguably the third ( I said arguably but in my book he is ) best player in history. An all over the nba the majority ( I said majority not all ) old school or new school think is the 1. To this day ppl when going berserk in game are saying mamba mentality when you shoot a jumper or paper in the trash can you say his name before the shot. Now I’m not saying he will be like him but I’m saying I have seen ppl being doubted and the best came out. Another example A.I there are so many more. Let’s just see what the future holds for him and Zion and who will have the better career. Hope we didn’t forget the 7 air ball at Utah I think in playoff by this dude who became all time great.
Zion so fun to watch. We all wanna see somebody dominate at the NBA level like this but...... Rj has amazing skill set to be the number one pick specially helping the Knicks. Zion going number one to the Knicks will fuck his head up. He don't have the skill set to actually lead the Knicks. I could be wrong. His post scoring will have to get better to play 4 and 5 against nba giants
RJ Barrett is a great player but he would be special if he played defense every possession. I watched him play ole defense on many occasions and if he wouldve moved his feet and not looked for help so much, Duke couldve pulled away. I see him as a Justice Winslow type of player but justice played lockdown defense.
what i like about Zion is that he puts all that talent and effort on the defensive end
He had 5 steals last night. He was doing it on both ends of the floor.
Yup
256 bradley he needs to put some of that talent towards a jumpshot
Unlike Lebron
@Tar heels fan 4 life no, he doesn't, Zion just has 2,6 fouls per game, tf
Who remembers Ballislife and Ballervision posting games of Zion in Junior year (Spartanburg Day School) and people would just comment "He won't be doing that when he's in College with bigger competition." They must be punching the air rn.
PNG deadass
Factsss
Same people that don't think he's gonna do it in the NBA lolol
Those are the same idiots who thought Liangelo Ball was gonna get drafted
Zion raw as hell
Are we not gonna mention that they actually have the audio synced this time
😂😂😂😂😂😂
brianthatsthename yeaaaaah finally
Zion put on a show. He played great in his first game back. 29 points, 14 rebounds & 5 steals. Gotta respect that 💯
@jliveslife dude went 13 for 13
@jliveslife my dude he had a perfect meaning he didn't miss so 100%
jliveslife he clearly didn’t miss a shot he was 100%
jliveslife what does warm up shots have to do with his in game performance? What does Larry bird have to do with Zion? Giannis can’t shoot good and is still VERY effective and successful in the nba. He’s not a thug he’s a basketball player you must don’t know what a real thug is. Seems like your issues are with everything he does outside of his actual in game performance so this debate is pointless.
jliveslife he’s a basketball player what does church have to do wort his on court performance? When did Larry bird mention his church? Lol dunking the ball violently; how is he supposed to dunk? I’m done with this conversation.
Williamson is the most versatile college player I have seen since Derek rose. Dude is a freak of nature. Hell of a game he played.
Brock Nichols Ben Simmons was one of those type of guys too
jliveslife Zion can’t jump? Are u serious?😭
Well said Brock
That acting by the Syracuse player making a charge on Zion should be a oscar nomination
Goldwire is an extremely unselfish player. If I were any coach, I’d love to have a player like him on the bench.
Goldwire looked righteous, proud of him....
Goatville number 14right
He's good but not a very a good shooter.
100% shotting for zion this time
Wow
he was off tonight, his shooting will be better tomorrow
Gotta love when you go 100% shotting from the field
That Red & Black Bulls Jersey gonna be a number1 seller.
He misses though at 46 seconds
Who is back watching NCAA because Zion is back playing again
I’’m guilty 😁
guilty here
I never stopped but I watch more now lol
Same
College basketball is a lot bigger than Zion, I have been watching it for 40 yrs.
Guilty as charged
Zion looked like he was playing angry. That is unstoppable
Its cause he got exposed by a girl days before, check out what im talking about in my vid
Finally! A acc video with correct audio!!
Remember They Said: Zion Won’t be Doing this in College.
Zion: You gone get this work
tre_wood Loaded Lux a god lmao
😂

The combination of Duke's overall talent is unbelievable. When these guys play together you are literally watching a well written play.
What team are you watching? In this game besides Zion and RJ, they are sloppy.
Zion is amazing person to watch! thank you lord for Zion. 👑
I hear he's good with the ladies too, check out my NCAA vid to see what I mean
holly shit! this is more fun than warriors vs lakers
Good game Cuse that zone always gives us fits I got y’all making a pretty deep run in the tournament
Syracuse wasn t 100% win Don t count unc still gold standard win or lose.duke loses you 'll never live it down.0-3 maybe? good luck.ps those 2 wins do count.keep lying to yourself!!
I do housekeeping so what.u work at food lion am I right?duke fans= LOSERS

Tar heels fan 4 life We were up 15-6 on y’all shut it
If Zion didn’t play tonight Duke would have lost this one.
Reverend X100 nah you wouldn’t
They would have lost by 20. Zion and RJ have no help. I cannot believe how over hyped Reddish was. He is soft as cotton, skills are horrible.
SU beat Duke with Zion playing in Cameron Indoor Stadium, for the most part, the refs were letting Duke get away with there over aggressive defense
I bet NC don’t beat Duke like they have done twice.
@@Thirston_Wimsley i bet NC wins tonight
Zion ball awareness is crazy. If he's not your number 1 pick you deserve to lose your team
same with his balls awareness if u know what I mean... I talk bout it in my recent NCAA vid
Good to have you back Zion!
Zion is in the building😎
Glad he’s back let’s go Duke!
Been following Zion since he was in the 11th grade. Most knew he was going to elevate over everybody. A lot did doubt though. Rj went off at the end! Windmill was crazy w/ hops!
What i love about Syracuse is that they aren't scared of a team, watch out for them again in the tourney this year
This man is a fucking tank. A football player with a 40 inch vertical, a linebacker that can do everything, he is insane.
NOW TELL ME DUKE NEEDED ZION BACK!! THIS MAN IS JUST UNSTOPPABLE IN THE PAINT!!!
Zion the best this year in college level.. It was great watching him..
How did you all miss putting the steal from Jones at mid court, to Barrett, and the lob to Zion? It is not in this video but it is in several other ESPN videos.
#fail
"He won't do anything in college competition."
Zion: Hold my Nikes

Who cares whether one is better than the other, you can tell they are good friends and teammates and they all play better when together. Personally i’d rather focus on watching the high level of basketball they bring together than comparing them
As a long time acc junkie, I'll tell you that Duke-UNC game tonight will be close! Rebounds ,2nd chance pts are crucial. Go Heels
Acc tourment duke carolina
Acc basketball tourment score
Welcome back Zion 😎
Duke UNC gonna be great. Whoever wins is winning the tournament
If Duke loses to UNC I think that UVA will beat UNC.Again.
Zions back. What shoe is he wearing?
Kyires
NOT................NIKE
Kyrie's
Kyrie “duke” 4’s
You gotta love Zion. He will try and block anything. Watch the game again. He’s always low key peeling off his own man to block someone else 😂
I only watched bcos the goat 🐐 is back 🤷🏽♂️ #ZION
Finally the damn sound matches the video
That game made Zion officially the 1st pick in the draft
In 2k next year his dunking better be at least a 90+ Zion been dunking since he was in first grade
I've never seen anything like this in college basketball!
Let’s have the condensed game for the duke game up before the Carolina and Syracuse game. Sure.
And mfs talking bout Zion won’t playing no competition in high school Lolol keep talking 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💯💯💯 dat boy a demiGod
Tar heels fan 4 life r u mad lol 😆

Zion is the best dunker in all levels of basketball. So much power, hops, athleticism and control.
Did Zach Lavine die? Or Aaron Gordan? Or even LeBron still
Hugo Cilerin What about Vince Carter?
I think dude is talking about in game dunking. Dam zion haven't been in the nba, yet alone a dunk contest, yall take shit and run with it. Smh. Hes more athletic than everyone you named except jordan. Zion can win a dunk contest easy he to versitile.
Hugo Cilerin Aaron Gordon is the closet thing to Zion but not quite
Hugo Cilerin I’m a good dunker so I know what I’m talking about. I can do windmills and 360s and etc. but it’s not even close to what Zion does. Dude is an acrobat in the air.
He's back . Won't matter
anyone notice the thumbnail is duke vs pitt?
Zion is when you make your created player rating 99
Thirsty Carlos naw if that was the case he would be able to shoot lol more like a 92
Am I too excited or is Zion game on 1000
what shoe did zion use???
is zion still wearing nikes?
So if you were Magic, would you rather have Zion on deck with that young athletic core of Kuzma, Ingram, and Ball...or LeBron? Which would be the smarter pick?
Pculiar MANN I would pick Zion but the Knick’s bulls and suns wouldn’t trade their picks
Zion's athletisism is insane
I am through and through a Tar Heel fan and I hate d00k, but man, Zion Williamson really is something else entirely.
Yea we hate you stupid Tar Heel fans here in Durham too. Now we got our lost game back, let’s see what y’all really about in Gay chapel Hill

Zion is back Baby
that was so much fun to watch because I'm too poor for cable sports package : (
best play of the game is not even in this highlights clip. the steal-pass-oop, jones to RJ to Zion.
welcome back Zion.
whats going on with the ad situation on YT?
Duke is a different team without Zion. Glad to see he is back. Future No. Pick in the draft.
You can have an highlights video just of zion's rebounds
Duke or Gonzaga?
Really? You put a Syracuse player on the thumbnail?

0:30 did he just take 5 steps
I think 3
He took his gathering and then two so it was legal
Zion took 3
The "gather step" is not a thing in college. He caught the ball with his left foot on the floor, stepped right, stepped left, and jumped. We have a rare and precious thing: a call of traveling in the comments under a RUclips basketball video that's actually correct!

That kid Zion playing like a 2k player

Now wearing kyrie 3?
Zion Williamson is UNSTOPPABLE! 💪🏾🔥
You didn't show the alley-oop off the hustle play!
So sad to see Zion going to the knicks or suns 😥
This video has the wrong thumbnail
Zion is absolutely carrying duke on his back
No one can stop zion
Did anybody hear the slap on Zions are at 1:37?...or was it just me?
The return of king Kong! 💪👊
Zion is back. Lets go!
You just don’t expect them to lose with Zion on the team

I see him as a Justice Winslow type of player but justice played lockdown defense.
