âYou donât join a 73 win team and talk about youâre the best playerâ
Chuck is pure truth đđ

Ring chasing Chuck is just hating on KD for being a MVP on a excellent team.
Chuck the best player need not be the mvp like Iggy or Rodman. Match ups are important, staring in your role and versatility is important in these playoff Games. đł
Chuck probably tried to be a bid star and take on to much responsibility instead of sharing it with teams to win. Thus, he's ringless.
@@bowsershark word
Kenny Smith defending all the bus riders out there. Talking about "some bus riders gave instructions." đđ
đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł fr
He was giving instructions to Hakeem on where the water cooler is đ„±đ©đ
Chuck was talking about stars who join a winning team. Not about role players on a winning team
@@seanrojas Oh man đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ

This has aged phenomenally. Steph has always been the bus driver for the Golden State Warriors
The stats says no, KD still had more fmvps than him đ€Łđ
@@ND-OPS that's not the only thing that matters. Steph has 4 championships and led the warriors through these years, both regular seasons and playoffs. KD was just there for two years.
This year was the only year Steph curry was the bus driver đđ they just don't hand the final mvps out to anyone

@@ND-OPS easiest finals mvps ever. Steph's latest finals mvp weighs more than Kd's two combined.
"Dont tell me you're a great player if they can slow you down" Chuck and Shaq legends for reason
That statement is tattoo worthy
that litterally makes no sense, going against great players the other teams always say "I know we can't completely shut them down we just want to slow them down" shaq was slowed down but hack a shaq, brady was slowed down but a 4 man pass rush twice vs giants, etc...đđđ
@@MillzSzn It was meant that a great player may be stop for 1 game or small number of games, but in a series or in long term a great player cant be stop
Both chick.and Shaq have been slowed down before
The statement is grossly misunderstood, what that means is literally the first line of the text. "Don't tell me you're good if", what that implies is that you shouldn't flaunt about being good when you're underperforming or better yet making excuses that you were slowed down. All time greats like them admit they were slowed down, Kenny even said that Chuck will be criticized for not winning yet Chuck knows it doesn't matter, denying KD wasn't is just soft. Chucks point is that bus drivers are at fault when the bus crashes, not the passenger. Similarly the Bus driver is responsible when they wins, if KD was a bus driver in GS then he should also be a Bus driver in Boston yet he didn't arrive at the station. What that tells you is that he wasn't a bus driver at all in GS, GS had their own bus which he rid on. The point of his statements was that he wasn't a good bus driver as a good bus driver doesn't make excuses under losses, why do you think they respect Giannis despite losing multiple times before? Because he's a good bus driver and admits fault when he loses. Giannis isn't soft, Steph isn't soft, KD just isn't the best bus driver if he doesnt take Ls.
This why Chuck is so highly regarded despite not winning a ring. He drove that bus, didn't ride on it.
He was a legend. Took the Bulls to 6 games. Won MVP. Didn't team up with other legends until they were all old. But I think he's really just mad that so many ppl let KD off the hook for getting cheap rings in GS while Chuck still gets roasted for having no rings. KD should be roasted more than Chuck.
@@John6-40 KD def got cheap rings but so did Lebron. You can't only talk about KD when Lebron was the one who started it. Lebron went to an already stacked Miami team. Then went to an already stacked Cavs team. Then went to the Lakers knowing Anthony Davis was going to come eventually.
He tried to later on đ€Ł Whatâs your point?
@@Name-jw4sj đ§ą
@@Name-jw4sj Youâre a clown. How was Miami stacked before he got there? Wasnât Boston the team with the Big 3 and Rondo? And Kawhi was the 4th best player in San Antonio? What did the Cavs win before he went back? All they had was Kyrie, and never made one playoff appearance. And the Lakers were irrelevant. Do you know what stacked even means?! Were Shaq and Kobe stacked in LA? What about Jordan and Pippen? So how is LeBron playing winning with AD different? Youâre a CLOWN. Finish high school first.
This is why Dirk's ring is god tier.
After all those years that everyone calling him soft and won't win anything. He just continued driving the bus until he reached his destination..
Most incredible playoff run I've seen in my life. Dirk was on a mission that year.
Honestly Dirk was never in those conversations being real , he was injured a few Seasons , Nash and Finley leaving made him step up but at that time he was battling some real Power Fowards , and they mostly got the better of Dirk on some to Most nights but nobody ever really had him in those convos until around 2009-2010 âŠ. Stop that , everybody always respected Dirk and his game , he just didnât get the praises like A Tim Duncan or KG until he won his own .
@@TheBTranz he was in those conversations after 06 .. been a fan of the Mavs since 03.. back then they definitely call him soft..the respect ur saying, he got that for his legendary run in 2011. before that, media and fans outside Dallas always saying he's soft and won't win any ship..specially when they lost to the 8th seed Warriors... i think any long time Mavs fan can attest to what i am saying ..
@@chrissennfelder7249 AND he had a flu game and was legit sick af while beating the most hated superteam at the time too
last sentence was poetry fitting of dirk's accomplishment
this is legit a legendary rant that will be re played for years to come
I hope so!! It was that good
Ive been hittin the replay button all morning..
Easily. Chuck is a blessing
Wish they hadn't cut to commercials... it seems like Barkley was going to keep going... pure gold!
Guy from the future here, can confirm, am replaying now
Charles spitting facts though:
"He got MVP. He wasn't the best player."
"Igoudala won MVP. He wasn't the best player."
Stop that!
On todayâs episode of stop that.
the facts are there for ppl to see they just dont want to hear it. Chuck lets them know he dont care about their narrative
Steph won another đ without KD, KD ain't winning another one
Kenny was sweating when Chuck was talking about the bus ridersđ
Kenny wasnt a superstar, he was a contributor...it was nothing like kd jumping to GS
Chuck put him in his place, Kenny is a bus rider on the show as well.
Duc Le âą Right; Talking about you can give directionsđ
Kenny is even a BUS RIDER on this show đ
Chuck was talking about stars who join a winning team. Not about role players on a winning team

That was awesome to see
Shaq was a bus rider in 2006 when he joined Wade's team.
@@itshiho
Sure
Naaa Shaq was dominating during the regular season and 1st 2 playoff series. Then DWADE BECAME DWADE FROM THEN ON!
@@itshiho as far as I remember, you was by far the 2 ND best player. He sacrificed his numbers for championship in the finals. What you on?
1:51 this analogy is now used everywhere in sports media. Chuck is a legendary analyst.
Honestly he is the goat
He always does that
Just recently with Street clothes
Or triple single
...
It's crazy that when you really look back at that golden state run with KD, you realize that it was Steph getting doubled and drawing most of the attention. That allowed KD to just unleash, especially with Klay out there s a major threat too. This is why it's ridiculous to hear KD talk about how hard it is to play with stars when it literally allowed him to play with the least resistance he's ever faced.
Steph was and still is the best player on that team
until kd wins a ring without steph, steph is above kd on the all-time list, and if steph wins another one and his long overdue fmvp this year, it's over.
#Facts !!!! These dudes are listening too much to their paid sidekick buddies. KD should have stayed with Golden State. He's not mentally or physically strong enough to be the No.1 Focus and lead a team to a CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!#Facts
@@ferseplase2159 its good that KD left, Draymond will make him cry in the Locker Room...
plus, he joined up with Kyrie, ANOTHER PHENOMENAL TALENT, but has a mental toughness of a tissue paper...
Yea plus Draymond was doing most of the play making and the vocal leader of the team.
âGiving directionsâ Kenny was looking for anything to justify himself riding the busđđ
Meaning doing all the yapping and talking only, but not actually executing, and acting like annoying back seat driver
Kenny was giving water to the rest of the team just like he's the waterboy on the tnt crew
@@thomasscott1570 While funny, Kenny was playing like 30-35 minutes a game during both of the rockets championship runs... and putting up good numbers for a point guard back then. He wasn't a scrub like shaq and chuck try to make him seem sometimes.
I was thinking the same thing, lol
@@barehands9614 I don't think they were going that far. It's just everybody know Hakeem was the one driving that bus. Kenny might have been the navigator with a map, but that team was Dream or nightmare.
âIguodala wasnât the best player he got MVP stop itâ Chuck came with all the smoke todayđ
đ€Łđ€Ł
I still wish more people would mention how big an impact the subtraction of KD from their Western Conference opponents made the playoffs much easier for the Warriors.
Before the Warriors had to compete with the Thunder and the Spurs who were both incredibly great teams in 2016. In 2017 there was no competition.
KD didn't make the Warriors better, but not having to face KD in the playoffs made things easy for the Warriors. They would have won those 2 championships if they had simply paid KD to go play in China or something...
KD was still the Warriors best player when he got MVP
@@jonathang8996 still wasnât the âBud Driverâ
@@SkipPayless he was the bus driver
FACTS! People like to tell Chuck he don't have a ring but what they fail to mention is, he took his team to the finals as the MVP of the league and lost to the GOAT who left many HOF without a ring.
TRUTH !!!!!!!!
And KD didnât while he was in OKC? Speak all the facts
Yeah lets forget what KD did for the Thunder and all the years he put in. Chuck also left to another team after failing to get a ring there and failed at the other stops. KD is infinitely more successful than Chuck was ever in the league and we dont like to talk about that.
@@PapaYogito thats why Chuck critizicing him hes a great player but he cant win Chuck want him to do that he cant back in the dayđ
@@DSGJaySmooth got eeeeem
KD has just proven Chuck's argument by demanding a trade from Brooklyn, what a weak move.
He requested a trade from Brooklyn and request demanded either or is better than getting on national TV and telling everyone what you're going to do.
@@SlimKim3 what is the difference?
Either way you are leaving the team.
In durant's case, he left as soon as his experiment failed and wouldn't even entertain the idea of trying to rebuild, in lebron's case, he was patient with an organisation that gave him nothing.

Kenny's silence is the most awkward thing ever in this show!
Kenny a passenger on that Bus, can only offer directions lol
Imagine if Kenny never won a ring...he would never say a single word.
They would never have him if he would have never won a ring. Chuck is here only because he is maybe arguably the best power forward of all time or definitely top 3 and there is an argument only because he has no rings. But his stats are much better than anyone and during his prime he was a different animal.
@@rambo2667 Chuck is funny and unfiltered. He makes the show what it is even before Shaq joined.

Chuck: all these guys talking about championship rings. Hey y'all bus riders!
Kenny: *emotional damage*
đI was gonna say but Kenny don't walk around saying he's a champion but he actually does lol
Charles couldn't win one as the driver or as the rider. He was always looking for a new teams rather than to stick it out. Demanded a trade from Philly. Demanded a trade from Phoenix. He was always looking for that super team back when stars usually stuck it out with their teams. He was even publicly threatening the Rockets that he would leave there if they didn't sign Scottie Pippen who had just won the championship the prior season. I always find it funny when Charles goes at guys who build super teams. Charles was trying to do that his whole career. He just failed at it.
đđđ
đ€Łđ€Ł kenny was hurt
Not a kenny fan but atleast Kenny's bus arrived to the destination twice đ
Charles Barkley scored 44 points and 24 rebounds on Game 7 against Shawn Kemp and the Sonics in the Western Conference Finals to lift the Suns into the Finals against the Bulls. Barkley was the MVP and played like and MVP when needed. So Chuck is 100% knows what he's talking about as the bus driver. Chuck is real funny and goofs around but when he's having a serious basketball talk, he's ON POINT. There's a reason that he's not only a hall of famer but he was arguably been named the best player in that '92 dream team Olympics (if you have to pick one).
If not for Michael Jordan (who Barkley admitted to playing in the Finals so well he actually told his daughter "he's actually the first player that might be better than me") and the Championship Bulls, I believe that Barkley would have one ring.
Also, Barkley had 43 points (on 72% FG shooting) and 15 rebounds on a Game 5 win against the same Sonics in the WCF that year.
He KNOWS how to drives the bus. Here's how he describes it:
czcams.com/video/bSJQrCfiLao/video.html
If I'm not mistaken, that was the '93 finals where the Suns lost the final game against Chicago 98-99. Barkley drove the bus that far. One score away from holding a trophy. I definitely buy what he was saying here.
@@dbsti3006 It was not the final game. It was game 6 of that Finals. Yes the Suns lost that game 99-98 but that's because Paxson hit a 3 to win it. If the Suns had won that game the series is tied 3-3 and they have to beat Jordan in a game 7.
â@@roboninja3194We don't know if the Bulls would have lost game 7 because they never made it to a game 7.
It's been over a month and I'm still coming back to this. This is like an epic rant that will be talked about for a decade.
Still holds up, it was perfection from Charles
What's great about Shaq and Chuck arguing 99% of the time, is that when they DO agree you know it's indisputable and can tell how much they respect eachothers legacy
There is no shame in playing all out giving it 100% and losing the championship to anyone or any team
@@dalmarjackson9363 it's sports u win some u lose some

i don't know why he took it personally, surely he didn't think he was a star?
All these years Kenny made fun of Charles for not winning a title and Charles smiled and took it. Chuck finally hits back and Kenny gets all butthurt.

Kenny won the FIBA World Championship in 1986 against the Soviet Union with a healthy and young Arvidas Sabonis.. and Kenny was riding the Bus. Most Basketball fans do not remember, but I do.
Yeah. But he was on the bus in Houston. Chuck was on a bike.
Basketball is a team game. Big shot rob and kenny both spread the court with their high-percentage shot selection. Both players solid defense not getting into foul trouble like charles. Charles barkley got bashed by scottie pippen for hitting players instead of playing defense, taking too many low percentage shots, nor treating the game like a team game. Different mentality and the bus driver analogy is not accurate for basketball. Kenny's right, Horry is the forgotten hall of famer because too many people think the superstar gospel is truth. Making flashy low percentage shots and still losing isn't the team game that basketball is to most people. I would take Smith/Horry over any team charles barkley was on.
@@tokdo4960 Horry and Elie, then Kenny

@@rambo2667 yes and he was a driver.
Finally someone said it. Curry was the best player. Still is. Players and coaches know it. That's why Curry was game planned for and not Durant. Those were Durants most efficient years.
Curry was not better than Durant. Curry is my favorite player but when it matters the most, he plays good but not great. That's why he has not won a finals MVP. I see guys like Jokic, Giannis, Durant and Lebron dominating the game putting up triple doubles or near triple doubles and being efficient while Curry puts up the scoring numbers on 40% shooting.
Yet how many of those finals MVP's went to Curry?
Giannis better than KD a better leader more driven with no drama.
People only talk about curry's offense. Yes he's great but he's a huge liability of defense. Now that both KD and curry are older, I would even more take KD over curry. It's not even a contest
Who got KD good looks every possesion, Steph Curry and his gravity. Steph made Andrew Wiggins an all-star, and Kevin Durant a superstar.

In earlier Inside the NBA clips, Chuck and Shaq never wore any Air Jordan sneakers because of pride and competition, unlike this generation of players.
He lost to everybody he is a loser

Chuck drove the bus but kept getting lost. You don't get credit for that.
Who came back to rewatch after all of this nets business going down? Chuck was ahead of the game telling everyone KD is a rider, especially after his trade request this week.
Like a fine wine, this has aged well. KD can be as mad as he wants be hasn't proven Chuck wrong thus far.
When Chuck made that "bus driver" statement you can tell Kenny was hurt by that statement.
He averaged 6.3 points, 3.5 assists and 1.5 rebounds in 11 games in the NBA Finals in his career. If he was hurt by that statement, then he has some issues to resolve with himself
@@burabojan a triple single đ€Šđżââïžđ.
Man he stuttered and then couldnât give him eye contact. That should def be a meme soon. Dude was froze
On the other hand, at least guys like Kenny came over when the bus was parked and needed to be fixed up, helped fix it up, took some trips to the store for groceries for the road, packed things for the trip and all that. Someone like KD just literally hopped on the bus when it was already fully stocked, kicked his shoes off and got comfortable and popped open a soda
I don't know if I agree with that statement, because he was a supporting other, not a franchise player looking for fame or to extend his own personal legacy.
Chuck nailed it with the bus rider analogy hence Kenny had to say something knowing he was on Hakeem his bus đ

Jordan also has said that he was lucky that the Bulls never faced Hakeem in the finals cause they had no one who could've defended the Dream and wouldn't have had any chance stopping him!
@@oladapoorims he got on when he was 33 and both him and Hakeem were past their primes. Still he averaged 16 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists in his 4 seasons with the Rockets. Those arenât slouch, bus riding numbers.

Chuck is absolutely right, a hall of fame "bus driver ", you will drive your team to the finals, win or lose , and you were practically the the reason you got there.

Barkley tried to ride the bus with Hakeem and Pippen and just sat up the back and ate donuts.
@@ShaneAlan1 the only bus that Shaq ride on was Miami, Shaq was the driver of that three-peat Lakers. Kobe was the conductor on that bus and everybody else was riding. I'm a Kobe fan but give credit to Shaq for those 3 rings he have in LA, he was the leader of the team.

i know Kenny was sweating buckets when Chuck brought up that "bus driver" discussion
Why? Kenny was the starting PG for back to back championship teams .
@@WxxdBxy Because Hakeem was driving the bus.
@@WxxdBxy Hakeem drove the bus chuckâs point exactly
@BallersKingdom
A ârole playerâ typically comes off the bench, though. Starters are never referred to as such.
But, I get it: piling on Kenny Smith online is a popular thing for the sheep.
Chuck was talking about stars who join a winning team. Not about role players on a winning team.
Like Shannon Sharpe said, âKevin Durant has to prove he can win outside of Golden Stateâ
I been said this itâs a no brainer thatâs why he left golden state to prove himself
@@showtimej2582 his legacy on the line Monday night
@@showtimej2582 he provin' himself now
Yeah heâs proving that heâs isnât that dude
People have been saying this about KD for years. KD can't win a ring unless he's riding coat tails.
Chuck dropping pearls of ball wisdom for us all today đ
Kenny the bus rider chipping inđ
Bus rider maybe. But he was atleast giving directions
KD's entire legacy was demoted to being a bus rider in under three sentences. Wow.
A lot of peopleâs favorite players are bus riders. Idc if they got FMVP either.
Not career brotha, rings. Chuck just saying KD didnt earn the 2 rings in GS, he cashed in then cashed out
@@leftsidz1 exactly, kds great but I donât wanna hear this top 10 talk
@@aidyn7758 see thatâs the thing, kd, curry (if he wins this year u have to bring up the top 10 tho) & other greats of today besides lebron will never be mentioned top 10 all time.,âŠkd had his chance but blew it to ring chase, only reason we donât flack bron for ring chasing is becuz the cleveland ring
Chuck is right about KD. He's a bus rider đ.
That pause when Kenny started talking and everyone stared at him đđđ€Ł
He knew he was spitting a bunch of BS. He couldnât think of a good enough answer đđ
Pricelessđđ
He had nothing đ
He is just like michael scott, he starts the phrase and hopes to know what to say along the way đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
They always do that to him lol. Poor Kenny.
This never gets old. đ
Its been a while since i heard chuck's iconic "cmon now". I feel good
Chuck preaching the gospel, and Kenny's talking slow & quiet, because his greatest accomplishment was being a bus "rider". PREACH, CHUCK. PREACH.
Kenny shouldn't be offended, he cleary had a supporting roll on those Hakeem led rocket teams. Nobody expected him to be or viewed Kenny as the leader.
I always respect đ the True Super Stars like Patrick Ewing Allen Iverson Charles Barkley Dominique Wilkins Karl Malone. The guys that stayed True and go ring chasing in their primes. Im not talking about their last 2 years when they were old. Those guys have more respect than guys who bus ride to championships. Because they built something and it took the greatest players to beat them
Nobody ever confused Kenny for an alpha, tho.
For sure Kenny never was on the predicament that KD is in.
He never was confused for a bus driver.
That's not true
"I'm so sick of you guys making excuses for these dudesâŒïž"
GET EM CHUCKâŒïžâŒïž
All those guys defending KD and mocking Chuck for his bus driver claims, Warriors are champs. They did it *again* without KD and Boston couldn't shut Curry down like they did to KD and Kyrie. Ain't no one laughing now. đ
Sthu
2:03 Kenny wasn't feeling it đ
Dude is the ultimate bus rider and he knows it.
Chuck make sense with this âyou canât join no 73 win team and drive the busâ đ
Bus was clearly running good Durant was jus new tires
Kd joined a bus that was already accelerating
@@SomkeHouseENT This is the best analogy out there
Let's make sure we are clear a 73 win team that doesn't win the chip is still second place! Lol everyone loves to forget that.
Love Shaq pointing to Chuck - two in a row!
Had to come back to this clip today XD
This was so funny. Chuck didn't take a jab at the bus riders. He took a jab at KD being a bus rider. And Kenny took offence because he knew his place haha.
"Two in a row Chuck"
And then of course Kenny immediately defends the riders.
So basically Shaq and Chuck have an inside joke that Kenny's a bus rider
@@abeade9910 I was thinking shaq was talking about his first two rings but that makes more sense
Chuck is seriously right on almost every time. It's kind of sad to see most of the other guys up there not verbally side with him when he's making a point, and they know in their heads that he's right.
Kenny is the ESPN opinion of the panel.
Chuck made it to one Finals. Kenny helped the Rockets win two. He led that comeback in game one against Shaq.
exactly.
@@DrPhill96 All true, but still...found your burner, Kenny.
@@GrimeBot-io7ho If itâs true then Kenny is right to disagree then
And KD requesting a trade to an already built good team today proves Barkley's point.
Coming here after KD trade talks, and this bus driver analogy perfectly captures the situation. Whenever KD is is put in the driver position, he seems to ride it off the cliff.
Chuck owned this segment!!!!! All truth spoken đ đ
For a second there, I thought Chuck was gonna look at Kenny and tell him he was a bus rider too đ đ đ
Didnât have toâŠKenny knew!đ
@@ti84satact12 we all knew đ€Ł
You can never rule out anything when it's Chuck. He could literally say Kenny you knew you were a bus rider will you stop it.
@@rambo2667 đ€Łđ€Łđ
Kenny: Hey man I was a wheel on the bus at least
Aged like fine fine fine wine. Chef kiss.
From OKC, to warriors to nets to now the suns. KD still a bus rider
Shaq's face when Kenny started to talk, he was ready to pounce đ he was thinking "easy fella, stay in your lane..."
Sometimes Kenny seems to forget he was a role player who hit a couple big shots, not some head honcho on any team who knows what thatâs like.
âOn todays episode of Stop That ! â
Shaq loves when Barkley is on one đ€Łđ€Ł
That some funny shyt. Shaq face was hilarious đ
Inside the NBA is so far ahead of other sports shows, not just for the entertainment value but also for the insightful analysis and natural discussions they have. They donât pick sides just to force a narrative like other shows, and they are not afraid to give their honest opinions backed up by actual basketball experience at the highest level. An honour to watch these guys.
Chuck absolutely speaking nothing but the truth. Sometimes being the best player doesnât mean being the guy is scoring all the points, it means scoring facilitating rebounding help side defense and showing high IQ in decision making. Steph Curry is has band and always will be the best player for Golden State.
Kenny definitely was a backseat bus rider, Chuck hurt his feelings đ
Slightly disagree. Kenny Smith was a key part of those two championship teams in Houston. He was not the bus rider but he was definitely helping to keep the bus in order. He knocked down some clutch 3s (42% regular season; 44% in the playoffs) and had some big games during those championship runs.
@@don8668 he was by no means an important roll in those championships. He averaged 6.3 points and 3.5 assists in the finals for 94-95
So important that he got benched for a rookie during 4th quarter play for the most part of those runs. He did have that one big game against Shaquilleâs magic. Game 1. Hit 7 3âs and the most important one was to tie the game. Iâll will give him that. That and Anderson missing 4 straight free throws demoralized magicâs swag. After that magic never recovered
@@don8668 Let's be honest. You could of traded Kenny with just about ANY other player in his position, at that time, and that Houston Rockets team was still winning those rings, LOL!
I donât think thatâs what Barkley meant by âbus riderâ. Kenny didnât join a good team who was already winning rings, then claimed he was the best.
Thereâs no reason for Kenny to take offense. There is one âbus driverâ per team (if that). Not everyone can be it.
Chuck just stays spitting factsâŠwhen people talk about him being silly or dumb I hope they never underestimate the fact heâs a basketball genius
Winning league MVP during MJ's prime is enough to solidify Chuck's greatness.
@@darksideon đŻ
Chuck is a smart dude but I donât understand this logic. Trae took a bad l today letâs not overlook that, but to me itâs ridiculous to say that you are not a âstarâ after having one bad series is ridiculous. I mean Kd and kyrie together are losing 0-3 and Trae has 1 win without an elite co-star. I mean Trae young has more playoff series wins than luka and more points than assists than anyone in the league this year, and Zion when heâs healthy chunk considered a âstarâ
People donât even realize he was bullying people in the NBA while only being 6â4.
