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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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

Nah he is COOKING
Let Zion cook
He’s got the family Magnalite out and he’s got a roux goin
This guy gumbos.
He’s cooking something absolutely delicious
He’s putting them in a crab boil
*crawfish
Tbf he’s from SC.
True
If, with all the players in the NBA to make mad, you end up choosing Zion.. you deserve everything you get thereafter lmao.
Such a nice, wholesome dude. Suns dun fucked up lmaooo
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
Pull up from the logo and fight you at the same time
Zion “Kyle Lowry” Williamson
MVP shit He just has sequences where he takes over on both ends in big moments
Yup. He’s played great defense for the last month and made some big blocks and steals
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.
The CJ dunk was objectively the right move but damn I wish he tossed that thing up for Zion to slam home.
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.
You are criminally insane if you think Paul being there would do absolutely anything to Zion’s chances of a lob
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.
Zion would literally just jump around him paul was facing CJ
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.
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
Sure he could lob it I get you. Then zion ended up injured. Cj is selfish on that play but its better than sorry.
Never seen CJ elevate like that, I’ll take it
League is done. Everyone pack it up.
Micro shaq hitting 3s now, we done fam
Micro Shaq!!! I love it!!! What a great name for him! :D
My franchise player >>> 😌
Blazers fan here.. got nothing but love for CJ and the Pels. ✌️
zion too passive smh he's finished
Now this is getting just unfair.
Zion is terrifying as is, if he’s showing some shooting range you might as well start the team bus and head home.
2k won’t let you create a player as dominant as him
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.
zion and CJ just swapped bodies lol
They did a freaky friday
[I didn’t know cj did that](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FURkzeEWQAAdVpo.jpg)
This meme cracks me up every damn time
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.
Welcome to the twilight zone. The win rate for games where CJ dunks is so high it can’t be expressed numerically.
So happy Zion is back and playing again, League is so much more fun with him around
CJ for the dunk contest???
I wonder now how many career dunks he has.
1
64 total but 11 since 2019
CJ said ain't gon be no mo layups.
Unfair
Most fun team in the league.
I hereby adopt the Pelicans as my second team. I need some bandwagon flare.
Hes gonna be a fucking monster if he continues like that
Goddamn. Electrifying. He doesn’t even need to be Steph Curry. He just needs to be good enough to make defenders pause.
inb4 he turns into Steph Curry. Or even Seth Curry.
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.

I gotta say, this is the first Pelicans game I watch this season… boy this is a fun team to watch.
Who knew this whole time it stood for Crazy Jam McCullum
Thanks god the Lakers picked it up a bit because this team does not need Wemby.
The title sounds like some mirror dimension type shit.
3 point sniper Zion to big-time finisher CJ
Leagues fucked
Can he shoot?!
MVP.
He was holding the turbo button
Good for Zion. He's been waiting years for this shit. The man just looks so fucking happy to be out there.
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.
CJ 🥲
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
Damn CJ you can do that now?
God I fucking love him and this team 💙
Choppy video
can’t watch the game, why is it close?
Phoenix is dominating the offensive glass, they’re getting a lot of second, third chance points
I mean, Pels don’t have Bi or Herb. Evens it out with Cam and Booker not playing
Rebounddddd 😭😭😭
Zion and CJ Freaky Fridayed for a second there
They need to remake nba jam and go ham on all the stats and abilities.
League fucked
Without watching the video, this title makes much more sense if you switch the names.
Now I see why CJ has a dunk package in 2k ⬆️⬆️
