To be fair, sometimes feelings are all you need. I always had the impression that Ben Simmons felt like he was a superstar and that he didn't need to work on improving his game at all. I had no evidence of it, it was just an impression. After he got to the NBA we began to see the evidence of it come out.

I don't get the same impression about Zion. But if someone else does I can't really knock it. Sometimes your gut is right.

This 100%.

I could very well be wrong! I can't predict the ****ing future.
 
Any chance the refs actually call fouls on Houston’s stars tonight like they are on George and Westbrook right now?

My opinion has nothing to do with the way he "looks." Yes, he's nearly 300 lbs. Maybe that's what you were referring to?

All I've been saying is he looks entitled. When I watched him in a handful of games, he just seemed disinterested when he didn't have the ball in is his hands. Maybe he's bought into the hype? Who knows. It is just college ball after all.

So it has nothing to do with how he looks yet you clearly say it's because of how he looks. Um, OK?

I get thinking that he's not going to live up to the hype. I don't get your assessment of him looking entitled and disinterested. You are literally the only person that thinks that. What game did you watch out of curiosity where he looked checked out when he didn't have the ball?
 
All I ever needed to see from the Thunder was them getting smacked by the Kings in their home openeer to know this wasn't gonna be their year.
 
Laughing my *** off at Kanter showing up for this game. 20-18 an dover 50% FG

You are wrong about Zion. 100%. It's quite the opposite. Duke's a factory of entitlement, but Zion is not that guy, he's in fact quite selfless and team player type of guy thru and thru.

Did u ever see the raggedy crew of kids on his AAU team? For as good as he is he was discovered relatively late, kinda hidden in South Carolina. ESPN in particular was very late on him compared to other 'phenoms' of that magnitude.

Then also he achieved great fame as a teenager, and really took it in stride as well as you'll see it done... which says something for sure..

Zion is a huge fan of the (kids) cartoon Naruto. Which is in fact an absolute trove of wisdom, that show is fantastic i wish that was around when i was growing up, im not 'an anime guy' at-all either.. he in many ways embodies the title character tho. As much as he's a force of nature, Zion is a force of will.
