AnEmptyKarst

PeteEckhart

Gaetan123456

He’s cooking something absolutely delicious


MediocreTake

He’s putting them in a crab boil

*crawfish


onlykindofamethaddic

Tbf he’s from SC.


Generic-username427

True


A-DTB

If, with all the players in the NBA to make mad, you end up choosing Zion.. you deserve everything you get thereafter lmao.


[deleted]

Such a nice, wholesome dude. Suns dun fucked up lmaooo


NOLAblonde

Loving watching him, especially after all the bullshit (from this sub in particular) about his weight and he’s gonna burn out of the league


MrAmazinn

Pull up from the logo and fight you at the same time


Shxcking

Zion “Kyle Lowry” Williamson


smashacc

MVP shit He just has sequences where he takes over on both ends in big moments


UnimpressedAsshole

Yup. He’s played great defense for the last month and made some big blocks and steals


SkullBean

He's improved a lot, used to get lost a bit at times in his first two seasons but he's looked really good off ball and on the POA.


fawkesmulder

The CJ dunk was objectively the right move but damn I wish he tossed that thing up for Zion to slam home.


zonickxxx

I agree and disagree since paul need to choose to guard and picks zion so the opportunity for a lob cancels out. This is why I like CJ floor vision he is superb that he decide not to pass and dunks it. Thats a good decision.


ryguy925

You are criminally insane if you think Paul being there would do absolutely anything to Zion’s chances of a lob


zonickxxx

Yes there is. Called foul. He doesn't want the momentum keep going. The body language tells you. I've seen cp3 done a lot of decision that benefits the team. Also a chance of turning into injured zion if cj forces a lob.


ryguy925

Zion would literally just jump around him paul was facing CJ


zonickxxx

Correct. Hence he is too far to stop cj even if he does and-1 on that play is possible. As paul stopped you can judge that he is letting cj do the dunk rather zion. Its demoralizing if lob happens.


ryguy925

What I'm saying is that even with Paul taking the position he did if Cj just lobbed the ball to Zion Paul wouldn't have been able to do anything about it. Cj even said postgame he could have lobbed it to Z but has been struggling with illness and wanted to get a good dunk so he could feel right again


zonickxxx

Sure he could lob it I get you. Then zion ended up injured. Cj is selfish on that play but its better than sorry.


blackpenance

Never seen CJ elevate like that, I’ll take it


Cvnilivee

League is done. Everyone pack it up.

Micro shaq hitting 3s now, we done fam


thisissami

Micro Shaq!!! I love it!!! What a great name for him! :D


SdotPaul504

My franchise player >>> 😌


denverblazer

Blazers fan here.. got nothing but love for CJ and the Pels. ✌️


portomerf

zion too passive smh he's finished


BBallHunter

Now this is getting just unfair.


VRamdas

Zion is terrifying as is, if he’s showing some shooting range you might as well start the team bus and head home.


DamnImAwesome

2k won’t let you create a player as dominant as him


Sartuk

He's pretty far from it, but if he starts regularly nailing threes at a ~35% success rate, the league is absolutely fucked. League fucked anyway honestly.


asapshrank

zion and CJ just swapped bodies lol


Th1sd3cka1ntfr33

They did a freaky friday


raptorgang4life6

[I didn’t know cj did that](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FURkzeEWQAAdVpo.jpg)


RagingWookies

This meme cracks me up every damn time


ChrysMYO

Facts bro, it was like a reversal of all expectations. Zion one touch pass to CJ for the transition dunk was not ony bingo card.


Shxcking

Welcome to the twilight zone. The win rate for games where CJ dunks is so high it can’t be expressed numerically.


Gaetan123456

So happy Zion is back and playing again, League is so much more fun with him around


onelove101

CJ for the dunk contest???


BBallHunter

I wonder now how many career dunks he has.


Manler

1


Ziawn

64 total but 11 since 2019


makoto_sama

CJ said ain't gon be no mo layups.


tmrnnng

Unfair


UbeMafia

Most fun team in the league.


Obvious_Party_5050

I hereby adopt the Pelicans as my second team. I need some bandwagon flare.


serialwinner3

Hes gonna be a fucking monster if he continues like that


AnotherStatsGuy

Goddamn. Electrifying. He doesn’t even need to be Steph Curry. He just needs to be good enough to make defenders pause.


zippy_the_cat

inb4 he turns into Steph Curry. Or even Seth Curry.


[deleted]

These are special because they are literally the first shots he's made outside the paint in about 11 games (according to espn's gamecast charts.) If he can get in a rhythm and find his confidence with his outside shot, its over.

notenoughspacefor

I gotta say, this is the first Pelicans game I watch this season… boy this is a fun team to watch.


here_for_the_lols

Who knew this whole time it stood for Crazy Jam McCullum


MohnJilton

Thanks god the Lakers picked it up a bit because this team does not need Wemby.


volantredx

The title sounds like some mirror dimension type shit.


lsspam

3 point sniper Zion to big-time finisher CJ


insaneblane

Leagues fucked


[deleted]

Can he shoot?!


floatersforalgernon

MVP.


wafflestep

He was holding the turbo button


Millionaire007

Good for Zion. He's been waiting years for this shit. The man just looks so fucking happy to be out there.


RedHotDumpsterFire

Why's the video so damned choppy? I thought there was something wrong with my computer. Something that's been bothering me with a lot of highlight posts the last few weeks. A ton of them start and stop and skip frames every second. It ruins a lot of highlights.


Danielj4545

CJ 🥲


Xc0liber

To me Zions scariest skillset now is his passing. Dude can bulldoze his way into the paint but he doesn't have tunnel vision. I am actually impressed with his passing abilities. He would look for open teammates. if he can have a respectable jumpshot, the league is fucked even more


DJamB

Damn CJ you can do that now?


Sk8ter87

God I fucking love him and this team 💙


sreynolds1

Choppy video


[deleted]

can’t watch the game, why is it close?


AnEmptyKarst

Phoenix is dominating the offensive glass, they’re getting a lot of second, third chance points


Not_on_Herb

I mean, Pels don’t have Bi or Herb. Evens it out with Cam and Booker not playing


BreesBetweenMyKnees

Rebounddddd 😭😭😭


Mickey_Juice

Zion and CJ Freaky Fridayed for a second there


SplitPerspective

They need to remake nba jam and go ham on all the stats and abilities.


[deleted]

League fucked


buffalo8

Without watching the video, this title makes much more sense if you switch the names.


drunkenyeknom

Now I see why CJ has a dunk package in 2k ⬆️⬆️
