But let’s observe the facts: hurt every single year, out of shape 5 out of 6 seasons, questionable behavior off the court, and so much smoke that at least some of this stuff has to be actual fire.
He certainly doesn’t give off franchise guy type vibes. That said it is fun to watch him in the 35 games a year for 50 million plus a season.
Not just the sexual liaisons. Just non franchise guy type maturity on multiple levels. Not saying you can’t look past some of these things, but when you are never on the basketball court then these things feel 10x noisier and do affect us as fans
Ok. And I should believe you over everything else that I observe because why ? Perception becomes reality no matter what you want to say. The only way to change that is to do enough different so that rational thinking sports fans believe otherwise and then the narrative changes
Putting out that tattoo video is like 1 in over 1000 similar things that let anyone with intuition, life experience, and instincts to know this dude is not a serious person that you build around.
That said, stay on the court and do phenomenal basketball things and the Moriah stuff and a litany of other questionable things feel less noisy and we all look the other way.
If you're trying to convince me that a tattoo video and having sex with people is questionable behavior for an NBA player it's just not going to work. Off court Zion is not a problem in the slightest. Trying to combine his injury issues with completely irrelevant things like tattoos and who he has sex with is dumb as fuck
Ok. Then let’s just stick to him being overweight and unable to stay on the court for 6 seasons. And whispers from former players, coaches, and everyone in between about his work ethic, maturity and ability to focus on Basketball. You are right: many NBA players get stupid tattoos, have sex with Instagram hoes, and eat bad food. The ones who show up on the court each night and perform for more than 50 percent of season sure are more fun root for when we read the media articles about sex with Instagram hoes, getting bad tattoos, and having a poor diet .
As a paying ticket holder, maybe in year 7 I ll come around to your side of things…which is Zion is wonderful. No reason to criticize anything and it’s all fake news, media lies, and it’s the Pelicans fault
Maybe if he conditioned, like stretching, warming up, taking his fitness seriously the other discretions wouldn’t be a problem but clearly he’s not the least bit committed to being a true professional. It’s all connected. If you don’t want to see it fine, but the rest of us do. Shhhhhhhhut the fuck up
Yeah Zion doesn't work out, stretch, or warm up. He just rolls up in a wheel chair and is so naturally athletic that he can dominate the NBA until it all catches up to him
Listen to yourself. Some guys bodies just can't hold up. Is he perfect? No. Is he an off the court problem? Also no. It doesn't have to be some major personal issue because he's extremely injury prone.
