96-95 in OT... flashbacks to how grim early 2000s basketball was. If people think watching threes is dull go watch the Nets v Lakers or Spurs v Pistons finals.

Good for him. i'm guessing it was adrenaline though. he's not known for his shooting is he?

Mark Jackson and JVG gotta go. Can't help sagging ratings when your no. 1 broadcast team are 2 of the most joyless pricks in the history of sports broadcasting.

No style points but yes, hideous shot.

Zion and the nba really needed that 4-5 minute spurt. That was so fun.

I'm pretty sure it's going to work for him. His form is repeatable and since he probably only shoots when left unguarded he'll be fine.

Zion has hit more threes in his NBA career than Simmons. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Mark Jackson is bad for the NBA.

You guys are kidding right? I thought Z looked horrible out there. His big run was being left alone for 4 3s, a shot he just isn't going to hit at a good rate for years, a shot he had blocked that he got back and laid in.

I really expected him to look like a far better athlete out there.

He was so fat ,i am afraid he will be injured again very soon

The interesting part is how defences will guard him. The shooting stroke is funny looking but if it goes in, it means his defender can't sag off, no? His passing seemed good and again this will help keep defences honest. His handle is yuk atm.

He needs some time to get in playing shape. He looked a bit apprehensive working inside the arc but was good that his shot dropped. Zion will be fine. Just needs time.
