Bro we all say that but then he drops 29 in 23 minutes and suddenly we’re all back on the hype train lmao

The pelicans probably have a love hate relationship with Zion. On one hand he’s unreliable, on the other hand he can drop 29pts in 23min haha

I mean he’s actually screwed them over way more than if he was just a straight up bust lol

If he was just bad they would have given up and moved on a long time ago rather than being tied to the “maybe next year he’ll actually be healthy” hope for like 5 seasons now

Not enough people talk about you guys trading to get your 2026 pick back during the playoffs right before the Haliburton injury. Just wild.

Why don’t other teams simply try the “don’t lose” strategy from Borrego? Are they stupid?

Trade why he has value before he gets hurt again. I like Zion but I know how this cycle plays out.

Brings me back to a couple years ago when he was regularly shooting like 75% from the field

Zion is so fascinating because he’ll regularly give you 27 and 7… on 25 games played per season. Truly an enigma of a player

Pulled this from AI

The 2024-25 NBA season has already concluded (it ended in April 2025). The final data for that season shows that only approximately 42.3% of players who played at least 20 games ultimately met the 65-game threshold for individual awards eligibility.

Approximately 46.8% of players who played at least 30 games met the 65-game threshold for individual awards eligibility.

Not sure if that’s accurate but it’s kinda funny that the number is so low.

Such a massive talent. Should be a top 5 player if he can ever get his mind and body right.

The Zion Williamson experience: we’re so back > it’s so over > we’re so back > it’s so over.

Zion really gives the Pelicans a love-hate vibe, inconsistent, yet capable of 29 points in just 23 minutes.

i dont think zion is a bust. its just that he got the worst possible injury luck. in another world maybe zion became a star cuz this is technically the worst outcome for him
