Game and every time Zion Williamson scores it is a simple 2 handed dunk and the crowd is going wild acting as if they’ve never seen an NBA player dunk it before. I think Zion will be an all star eventually but not the next Lebron.. but all these people going nuts over simple 2 handed slams is a little much in my opinion.

I give you a lot of credit. I am a huge sports fan, but can't stomach watching an NBA game ... let alone a meaningless summer league game.

Don’t give me any credit, wife’s asleep nothing else really on so I figured I would see what all the hype is about. Probably won’t watch another NBA game until at least November.

You must be a hell of a talent scout if you can make that statement based on one summer league game.

Tell me-what do you think if UVA basketball?

Overall as a program or just this last year? I assume you think I’m that poster who started the thread UVA is overrated based on that comment.

Wow first half of a summer league game and you are bashing Zion already. Don’t quit your day job

Not even re-runs of Real Housewives of New Jersey? That would probably be more entertaining. :D

When did I bash him, I called him a future all star but not at the level of Lebron. I also said that the fans were over exaggerating a bit too his dunks.
 
Wait....people watch the NBA?

I never understand this. NBA games get higher ratings than MLB or NHL by a significant margin. What makes so many on here think nobody watches or cares, it’s the second most popular sport nowadays.

This will be an interesting year for the Cavs. Their top 3 players are now playing summer league with the NBA (I assume, they were drafted).

Bennett is a smart coach. He redshirted Hunter, the #4 pick, so he probably has some players in the pipeline ready to contribute. I don't see a title run (just doesn't happen in college with the turnover of players, but these guys will continue to be a pain in the ACC blue bloods @$s with their defensive prowess.

I think it was just more along the lines of drawing a conclusion about being overrated after watching a very small snippet.

Personally I think Zion will be great, but agree not LeBron (which is kind of unfair to do to anyone, since it’s saying he won’t be one of the 3 best players of all time).

Because, as history has proven many times over, Central PA is NOT basketball country.

It's the TV pundit in us all.

Jordan, for as great as he was, didn't win a title until '91. Can you imagine the talking head types of today discussing that nightly?

Of course, the Pistons weren't trying to sign him to get over the Celtics hump either.
