I’ve been waiting for him to play. Went to the season opener pumped to see him play and nothing. I have one more Pelicans game I bought so hopefully I get to see him then.

I don’t want to say it yet, but could he be a bust? We know he won’t have longevity, there’s no way he could play 10 80+Game seasons. Not a chance

I live downtown Toronto close to Scotiabank arena and the Raps played Pelicans opening night. The Pelicans/Saints are a client so I’m there several times a year. I’ll be there for the Lakers game beginning of March. Love it down there and they are awesome clients.

Back on the 22nd against the spurs.Only thing stopping him from being top 10 all time is is health imo.Ive never seen someone so good in so many areas apart from Jordan.

Dude I know you’re a Jordan fan as am I. Please don’t compare Zion to MJ ever again. I’m cheering for the big guy believe me but I’d say he’s more of a Larry Johnson. Even that is a long shot. We need to see him play a true NBA season. Skills and size is one thing but doing that for 80+ games consistently in a season is another. College seasons are a fraction of an NBA season

He moves more like wade than he does larry johnson, people are too caught up in his size to see his mindblowing agility and quickness in the half court, he moves like an elite guard with the power and strength of a power forward/center.

I mean check out his foul line dunk, doing that at 6'6 280 is insane...then look closer, zion is left handed and jumps off his right foot, for his foul line dunk he jumped off his LEFT FOOT and dunked with his right hand.

And not only is he an insane leaper off 1 foot, he's an insane leaper off 2 as well

Ive never seen someone all time elite off 1 and 2 feet since Jordan.Most of not all past players sans jordan were only elite off one.It shows how special he is.Throw in his amazing lateral quickness, high iq, amazing temperament, speed in half and full court, coordination.....only negatives I see are his health and his jumpshot.

Will We will see this 8 pounds next Wed when he plays?

Larry Johnson in his prime at unlv, while he moved well for a power forward,zion is lightyears ahead of him as an athlete.Theres nothing guardlike about johnsons movement, athleticism or coordination.

Ok, he can dunk. NBA is full of dunkers who can't shot and 3 pt specialists who can't dunk and shoot free throws. I won't even get into the traveling salesman in Houston. What am i missing? This dude will have the will to win like Jordan, the court skill of Bird or vision of Magic. What am i missing? I just see another dunker? I'm not sure he is better than prime Lebron.

You should come to Dallas and watch Luka play instead. 20 yrs old and putting up insane numbers

Funny I’m also in Dallas a lot as the Cowboys are also a major client. God I love that stadium. Anyway, now we are talking with Doncic, he is the man. He’s truly a specimen. What he’s doing right now is unheard of. Albeit I was a little saddened by his performance last Friday vs LA especially after that last time they played each other. I sat in the club level last year at AAC and that was absolutely awesome. They had all you can eat food!! And it was not just standard ball game food. I had prime rib and salmon etc... love AAC

As of right now I’m going to agree with Bevo I’ll take Doncic if I’m starting a team.

Yes, that stadium is no joke. Have you got a chance to go check out “the star” in frisco? Lots of businesses expanding and they are building so much. Many young entrepreneurs are all over legacy west and the star

Nice. My good buddy works with Mark Cuban and I go to a handful of games a year, got to hang out with dirk over yrs and his German is still pretty good

one of the most down to earth dudes in sports, no ego, always a funny and polite guy. Paid for all our drinks and food lol

You should check out the new ball park opening for the 2020 season also. Right next to cowboys stadium

Own a software development company (senior partner). We do a lot within the business of sport and surrounding ecosystem ( teams, associations/unions that manage players, agents, leagues, stadiums ...). Marketing platforms, CRM, ERP, CMS is our area of focus.

You know what I want to say we had our meetings at The Star in November. When I meet with the executive team there we typically don’t meet at AT&T it’s the practice facility. I will say as good of a client as they are they are so cheap with the tickets/boxes. They actually wanted us to reduce licensing and services costs to come to a game. This was after I took them to Commons Club. Can’t whine too much going on 8 years now with them.

100%. 285 at that height can’t be durable for an NBA career. Maybe a 16 game NFL season but not a grinding NBA season.
