@@jaybrown3341all of them put up impressive numbers and melo won ur right but yea its jus something about how Zion did if , it was 2-3 highlights every game and he showed up for big games , he was the complete package
Had to remind myself of what Zion can do when he's in shape. He was so much leaner last year (still gargantuan) and could move so much better. He was a tweener 4 who played the 3 at times, but now he's so huge the pelicans play him at center. Zion needs to become this guy again for his game and his health. All that weight is terrible for his knees
This guys gonna be a nba champion one day. Might not ever get to the goat conversation but he's special. His skill, athletic ability, but most of all his effort....that's what sets him apart.
You had to be there, I am so glad I watched this unfolding live. What a time to be alive, I wish Zion could get back to this shape but he still doing well in the nba
I’ve been watching college basketball since the 70’s aside from Magic/Bird era this was the most exciting season.Never seen ANYONE with the sheer speed,power and size as Zion.
he's so graceful around the basket. like his touch is so soft. that's the part of his game that reminds me most of lebron. they are both just so incredibly smooth when finishing at the rim. hopefully he'll become half the playmaker that lebron is, but man he sure can finish like him around the rim.
sunillionaire he will be better than lebron ever was. People like Zion come every so often. People like him come only like every 10 years. There will be a little wait for the next prodigy to come along. Zion is and will be the name of the nba come 5 years
@@Owen_Norwood Look at him now lean, but he was still balling out when he was playing. This season Zion is back and in the best shape he's ever been in! from his standpoint at least lol. duke zion was special not gonna lie.
He’s 285 in college he has to be about 305 now! He was smaller , way quicker and had more energy . If he can get back down to college weight at least he’ll go another level
This is one of my favorite CZcams videos. Watch it over and over. Hope this kid gets in proper shape and shows NBA fans his true game. Awesome stuff here.
I don't hear from the people that said this kid would not be effective against better competition in college and he will have a tough time against the pro level. Those people have been very quiet.
Just wait until Zion achieves this level of energy and conditioning in the pros. He’s been putting up 20 and 7 without even sprinting all out in fast breaks because the Pelicans trainers aren’t letting him run as hard as he can so he doesn’t tire out too quick. Once he can run all day, watch out. Friggin’ watch out.
People saying hes just bigher than college guys. Hes 6'6 6'7 he wasnt bigger than everyone he was just a better athlete than everyone and that wont change in the nba
anybody that think he is going to flop because of his weight has never seen this kid play and just throwing shade for the sake of conversation...agility, speed, strength, IQ and he can shoot and no one can deny he can't because he showed it when necessary. Top D1 schools sending triple teams at him and he is still unstoppable smfh how dare anyone say this guy is a flop.
Everything you said is 100% facts. People hatin just for the sake of it smh. There's a reason why he's as hyped up as he is... he's a special SPECIAL talent.
I always love hearing how Flabbergasted the announcers are in the beginning of the season and then towards the end they’re just like “Yup, this is normal for the kid.”
All you hear is "ahhhhh every play from the crowd after a play, that was great highlights he is a very fun experience to watch. Congratulations on your supermax 5 year deal 🤝💯
@@shean991 his jr/sr yr of highschool weight was his best weight , he’s still an injury risk at even his duke weight , somewhere between his 11th grade yr and duke zion would be his best weight
awesome video man, thanks....that season was the most dominant thing i've seen in NCAA basketball since probably c-webb or shaq.... i'm rooting for the kid...i don't know anyone who isnt.....i really hope he gets right, his weight, his personal stuff.....we want to see 15 more years of this kinda stuff...he's just gotta want it
I never realized how much his style of play is similar to Shaq's - especially early Shaq. Shaq was able to run the floor, pass extremely well for someone his height, out-muscle his opponents on rebounds, and physically dominate when near the rim at will.
Zion Williamson is my favorite Player he is very good pelicans got Williamson in the draft warriors are my favorite NBA team duke is my favorite college team I loved him when he played for duke he was amazing
Zion could be a top 3 player in the NBA but y'all not ready for that convo. Only 19 years old avg 27ppg 7Reb 61% FG LMao. 280 6-9 45 in vertical, strong as an ox, defense elite(you wanna go check out his chase downs?), can guard 1-5 and not even in his grown man body yet. , the most explosive athlete of this generation at his size. All he needs to do is stay in shape & cut down. OMG The League is over with. Zion for League MVP!!
Watching this now at a point where it’s pretty evident that Zion won’t likely ever become the player we thought he could have been is so amazing and upsetting. Had to remind myself that he really was THAT good, most exciting player I’ve ever watched; he just made everyone else look like children compared to him. Really wish he could have stayed this committed/ not lazy at the NBA level, I truly believe he could have been top 10 OAT had he =(
@DoubleFailMech Not sure what you're not understanding here. I'm taking out a game in which he didnt play. Stats are supposed to show what a player can do. This game Zion had 0 chance to do anything. The only thing that game does is pull down his stats and make him look like less than he actually is.
@DoubleFailMech And my point is that be basically didnt play. And that stats are supposed to show what a player can do. Its not that hard to understand
He is a monster. He just need some perimeter shooting to add to his arsenal. But man...this guy is exciting to watch. I think he wil get a championship ring in the next five years.
I've see some of the most explosive to do it . Dominique . Kemp . Mj . Vince . Kobe. Lebron. Blake etc . And something about this kid is on another planet . The explosion he has when he jumps it's like he blasts off the floor. His height isn't gunna mean shit because of his hops and the strength he has in his entire body . Hes solid beef from head to toe and hes gunna need it banging against the 7 footers in the league . Ppl keep bringing up the height of NBA players but he was abusing tacko fall like he wasn't even there. If he stays healthy and works on that jumper I see him as a career 20+ ppg kinda player easily and imo what sets him apart is his defense. Hes gunna be all NBA first team a handful of times and may even win dpoty a few times . Only one I've seen dunk like him really is Vince in terms of in game dunks. He doesn't have the overall dunk package Vince had but he has that tenacity and umph he had most definitely. In excited to see him play . I think him morant reddish barrett and a few others are gunna be all stars real soon
One of the greatest seasons I’ve ever seen from a college athlete.
100% true!!!

He will wake folks up soon💯

Zion came from injury that's why
It's crazy. Now that we know how good he is versus NBA teams, It's crazy to think how easy this must've been for him against college competition.
His dunks made the rest of his ability go so unnoticed. His pace and general feel for the game is elite.

He’s looking pretty good now can’t lie. Definitely playing different but almost plays to the nba better than this style would. He’s going to be crazy
That early injury in his rookie season definitely set him back weight-wise. He was farm more lean even in the summer league.
so no one gonna talk about how this video is nearly 40 mins of highlights???!
Sommy Keo probably no other COLLEGE player in history can claim a MEANINGFUL video THIS long with highlights from both ends of the floor......
And was only there for one year
@@ruckfam6212 FACTS!!!!!
Human Highlight Reel 2.0. Unprecedented.

Totally deserves the hype, he is just that talented. Charles Barkley is one hell of a comparison. And he gives 100% effort on both sides of the ball.
Can we all just appreciate that Zion got to play behind a crowd before COVID. It just makes his highlights so much better. I miss it.

I don't think he'll ever match Lebron in the passing department but he's a good transition passer & he's a willing passer.

He’s ah better finisher in the paint than lebron already , he avagerin 20 on 13 shots 😂
Zion was at his best shape in college if he gets back to this shape the sky’s the limit
And people were still saying he needed to lose weight then haha

yup he need to get to that 240-250 range and he’ll be a beast
38 minutes of highlights, he's destined.
