Nonono who's that guy who lost the slam dunk contest but then was featured on that bball show... aaargh I'm so old and my memory is crap... dude was SO EXPLOSIVE and SO STRONG, a few inches shorter than Zion, then his back went out
Wait let me google "Charlotte NBA All Stars"...
Larry Johnson! Although Larry was definitely a 2/3 and Zion is undisputably a 4. Yeah Charles Barkley is a good comparison although at this point Zion's game is less cerebral, more raw power. Nothing against Zion, Barkley was like a Ph.D. bball player. Wonder why he never got into coaching. Having too much fun as an announcer I guess.
Man I love me some good power forwards who have quick feet like Chris Webber. Webber was way longer and not as strong.
I don't know, all exceptional NBA players are exceptional in their own unique way, one of the things I love about the game.
I've been taught all my life to value service to the weak and powerless.
