Do we finally have our golden boy?

As far as Zion, I don't think he would have been the savior either. I had some concerns about his weight and injury issues. With that physique and athleticism, he could take the NBA by storm and be something the league has never seen. Or there's a chance it could be a story of what could have been. Don't get me wrong, I would have taken him at #1 lol. I'm just saying there was concerns with him too.


Where does he get picked last year in your opinion


I'd say #5. Maybe #4, but Grizzlies usually make dumb picks

The show just started and he's already complaining about Barrett having the #19 jersey which represents the year the draft took place, and saying it's disrespecting he was given a jersey with Willis Reed's number.

Didn't this idiot sexually harass an intern? How does he still have a job.

That’s what I thought as I watched that. No holding back.

OT - this is one of my favorite Shaqtin moments.



Who was the 3rd guy talking about the draft? This doofus didn’t know we don’t have the 2022 pick smh

Idk. I think they did a good job this year b/c they got Clarke on top of Ja. I’m way too high on that kid :lol:

I could see him going 6 to ORL. They need a stud in the backcourt in the worst way.

Yep. Then Bomba goes to CHI and we probably end up picking WCJ.

I want Mario back on this team and may be the only one to think he's on the right trajectory now with the Knicks. Kid is a versatile 6'8" PF, can handle, shoot some and defensively is an absolute beast.

I kinda like it but it is a funny nickname. I like it more as a secondary, jokey kind of nickname not a main one.
