    Who is going to want Zion? If he’s got his regimen in line add a 15 to 18 ft’r and my God. But is he a bargin at about 38mil a year still? Considering he hasn’t really had but this one season recently ,this year, he’s looked decent.

    Iverson and Rodman are the only ppl I can think of that were successful going against the grain. Zion has to be disciplined

    Courtney (My apologies if im spelling her name incorrectly) should be the host of this show.

    Her voice is very professional. She dresses professionally, and her time on this show as a moderator has been superb. Nothing more. I am just giving my opinion as a professional in from another industry. Much respect to this show in its totality.

    Anthony Edward’s to me is Dominique Wilkins 2.0. A highlight reel with no leadership qualities just athletic af.

    People dont realize that Austin Reves is making his accession, and within the time frame, he’s done things that MJ has not done in his career, in terms of upside, its Austin Reeves, Give me 2 more seasons and he’ll have the entire league at his finger tips, he is an unstoppable force offensively, he plays solid defense, this is what pisses me off. When you statistically compare Austin Reeves, to MJ, Lebron, Kareem, Wilt, Kobe his accession is unparalleled in terms of the numbers and improvement and his efficiency, if you’re being objective about it. Austin Reeves based on how he’s been aceddending undrafted basically, he will be the greatest of all time by the time it’s all over. This guy came outta nowhere and he gets no credit man.
