Ya think lol. People can pretend he hasn’t lost his crazy athleticism but when you compare Duke Zion vs Zion today, it’s not even close. He’s still an amazing athlete but at Duke he was truly an athletic freak. I’ve never seen someone his size so effortlessly jump outta the gym. The dude needs to lose at least 20lbs at the very minimum
Honestly it was the most hyped I’ve ever been to watch college basketball. He was must see tv, I was rushing home after work to catch Duke games. I’ll never forgive RJ Barrett for missing those free throws vs Michigan State. He shouldn’t of even had the ball. They stayed hoeing Zion, that team should’ve won the title. 🤦🏿♂️
The best college player you ever seen? Look up Shaquille O'Neal (LSU)... Larry Johnson (UNLV)...Chris Jackson (LSU)...Chris Webber (Michigan)... But I got to admit Zion Williamson was a man child since high school
Zion is a clear example of why they need to let dudes come in the NBA out of high school... if they were able to catch his weight early he wouldn't be having the problems hes had... he should have been in the league at 17..
He wasn’t mentally ready to play in the league and it showed. He would’ve benefited from being in a previous era where 3-4 years for top players was normal.
Duke Zion was wild to watch. As a Duke fan I was sick when he blew out his shoe. His revenge game against UNC was great though. His ball handling and speed for his size was severely underrated. I don’t remember which game it was but he raced an opposing guard to a loose ball about 3/4 court away and beat him to it, gathered the ball and was able to score it. I was like 😳 damn son.
@keithb1978 I'm not taking anything away from the Pelicans team, but how does his stats this season compare with the previous 2 seasons? He's been struggling with controlling his weight since his injury. But if he can find a way, there's still a high probability he'll be breaking his previous stats. But as of right now, I don't see that happening.
@@PureAwesommeness not at all. He lost 25lbs and on a tear. The whole offense changed. His stats were high previous years because they played through him only. Now we play through him,bi,cj, and trey. That's why his assists are way higher and we are winning. We are getting closer to play offs and that's why his stats are up. Averaging 30 ppg his last 6 games with 7 rbs and 5 assists.
They really need to to do scheduling differently for kids going through the system because that’s the only reason he got injured imagine Zion no injuries.
Horrible take. 25/7/4 are his nba careeer averages. Zion is a better basketball player now by far. Yeah he can’t jump as high but that doesn’t matter when he’s become a more skilled and higher iq player.
Had we gotten past MSU n da elite 8, we wld've beat TX tech again. Not wit as much trouble like earlier n da season wen dey playd. Smashd VA again, beaten dem 3x n 1 season wen nobdy else kld. Magikal, but didnt happen. Jus like 21-22. 😢😢
@@keithb1978he’s clueless too even hate on this kid remotely just shows me you aren’t a true fan of the sport. Everyone like the guy above us should wish nothing for the best for the kid. His potential is off the charts and he makes the game exciting
The in and out dribble into the emphatic dunk while the the Virginia player hard fouled him in the arm was one of my favorite Zion Duke plays. He's truly one of one
So cuz he's not the greatest dunker ever you're not impressed? Bros got 70lbs on Vince at the same height and possibly jumps higher considering how often he was eye level with the rim.
second pls pin
Fine
😂😅😊🎉❤ Really? 😂
I remember that sheet. Very controversial... 😂
@@natsix4857 what’s controversial? Lol
@@hardwood_yt , asking for the pin 📌?
@@natsix4857 oh Lmfaoo yeah it’s gotta be like 10 year old kid lol
It looks like Duke Zion was jumping higher than NBA Zion. I think he's put on significant weight since his college days.
Coach K made sure his ass was gone put in work on that campus 😂
Part of me wonders if it’s injuries too. Very sad
damn u must be at the top of your class
Plus all the injuries too

Zion is the best college player I ever watched
When I did my research for the full video and went back and watched…I was in awe for a good majority of the time lol
In the modern era, for sure IMO

His athleticism needs to be studied
Bro frfr that block was insane
I was thinking that because at that height and weight it doesn’t make sense
Zion is a clear example of why they need to let dudes come in the NBA out of high school... if they were able to catch his weight early he wouldn't be having the problems hes had... he should have been in the league at 17..
It’s a shame man. I’m still hopeful for him though
I’ve been saying that sense he was 16 lol they should have just let his ass in the league
It’s the league’s lack of leadership and accountability that made him balloon to over 300lbs what are you saying
He wasn’t mentally ready to play in the league and it showed. He would’ve benefited from being in a previous era where 3-4 years for top players was normal.
I hope we get to see Duke Zion again
That 360 was so dope cuz his whole team jumped with him.
We need you back Zion 😭😭😭

I remember the whole family came over to watch zion play. Even my mom 😂 we never watch basketball but zion was HIM.
Dude taking the corner : ez
Zion : naughty naughty not today
My fav was Zion getting rebound jumping Twice when Dwight Howard trying to grab One jump
Fire. But that was in the NBA not college haha
SC is taking over. 💪🏿🖤
That WAS his prime.
The 5th place pelicans say different.

Wow he was fit.

👽
He not jumping like that no more he need get in shape again
Zion was doing thissss in college yo think about it
Oh shit, he looks completely different today. My boy eating too much bday cake in the league
If he can get back in this type of shape. It’s over
I hope so man. I hope that type of bounce is still there
That bounce doesn’t exist anymore. The injuries sapped a ton of his athleticism
@@Romanus-I think he can if he drops weight and gets that LeBron body treatment
It's frustrating because if he committed to losing some weight he could be this again. I hope he can.
his peak lol
Horrible take. 25/7/4 are his nba careeer averages. Zion is a better basketball player now by far. Yeah he can’t jump as high but that doesn’t matter when he’s become a more skilled and higher iq player.
@@christophershelby5485can't jump as high? Check out that one handed opp he caught against the jazz...Head at the rim.
The best was the block he had against Virginia Tech.
March Madness copyright. Only could pick one play from the tournament. The NCAA sucks with March madness.
Had we gotten past MSU n da elite 8, we wld've beat TX tech again. Not wit as much trouble like earlier n da season wen dey playd. Smashd VA again, beaten dem 3x n 1 season wen nobdy else kld. Magikal, but didnt happen. Jus like 21-22. 😢😢
Before his addiction to porn stars.
Lmfao
What? Sex is cardio
@pranavaggarwal623 no sex is a waste of energy especially if u in the big league like nba
Unreal how he blew out that sneaker
Facts lol
It cost Nike almost a billion dollars as their stock dipped heavily the next day lol
Zion peaked in college.
The 5th place pelicans with zion as the leading scorer says different.

@@avalac7412 100%!
would love to see Zion on a team like the nuggets or Celtics he would thrive over there a lot more imo
@@avalac7412 probably get some more respect from fans and players...
New shaq
This the body he should've stayed at
It's sad how this kid has lost the drive & mentality to go out & win every time he steps on the floor....
The in and out dribble into the emphatic dunk while the the Virginia player hard fouled him in the arm was one of my favorite Zion Duke plays. He's truly one of one
Too bad he can't put the fork down. Still rooting for him but goddamn he needs some self-control.
Looks like a different person and player these days, and not in a good way. Sigh.
Should’ve stayed 4 years and developed his game…and conditioned his body.
*Was...
Zion always injuries play in pelicans nba 😂😂😂😂
I truly do hope he figures it out
Wahsed
Pork Williamson
Wemby block from zion
First
Ayeee
Zion is the definition of get rich and stop trying.
Funny none of the are in the NBA. Dude is trash?
None of his dunks are more impressive that Vince carters and to be honest i don’t even know if he has vice carter elevation. He just heavy dunker
Vince is the GOAT lmao nobody said he better than Vince, he’s still insane tho
Gotta remember Zion is like 280. The elevation he got is unprecedented for that size.
Insanely impressive. Of course Vince is incredible. Love him too
Yea but Zion was walking at like 280ish, extremely light on his feet and overpowers just about anybody in his way.
Vince is absolutely a better dunker, Zion gets up just as high though. 🤷🏿♂️
So cuz he's not the greatest dunker ever you're not impressed? Bros got 70lbs on Vince at the same height and possibly jumps higher considering how often he was eye level with the rim.
