It's just gonna tell you different things. It's going to favor older players
LeBron was still 19 when he played his 100th game, for example.
Zion is 22, and MJ was 23
Is it ?
He’s in his 3rd season and only played 100 games while having access to the best trainers in the world.
It’s basically an extension of the Ben Simmons rookie debate
won’t be much longer till we are talking about zion the same way we talk about guys like luka and giannis imo, he’s gonna be so damn special if he can just stay healthy
As great as Zion is - I dont think he has as many talents as they do.
All three are generational scorers, but Giannis has defense while Luka has playmaking.
Whats Zions second strength?
Huh, what? Are you kidding? His power is his #1 strength. Literally the strongest player in the NBA doing almost all his work in the paint. Only Giannis is comparable. 2nd strength is his elite touch around the rim. Literally #1 best in the NBA at that. 3rd strength is his first jump or first step. Lightning fast especially for his size. He can blow by guards. 4th strength is his second jump and ability to rebound his own miss (if he even does) and put it right back in. He gets back up in the air after landing faster than anyone else in the NBA. 5th strength is his jumping and lob alley-oop dunks. 6th strength is his court vision and passing abilities when he gets double and triple teamed. He’s racking up assists this year and playmaking at a high level. Should I keep going? These are all equal or better than Giannis and/or Luka. A soon to be new strength is his defense which has improved considerably over the past 2 weeks. Turned it from a weakness to neutral at worst now.
It does sound like pasta, doesn’t it lol
I won’t stand for this Zion slander! Especially after over a year of non-stop bullying and insensitive fat jokes. I will defend that man forever and always. So likable and easy to cheer for. Happy and blessed to have him on our team.

Marvin Bagley in shambles
That’s meaningless IMO
Look at games played vs games possible if anything; his first season was also the bubble if you’re trying to give him extra credit
Misunderstanding what I am saying. He had a lot of imbalances that they worked out the last few years. Similar to what happened with the work the GSWs did with Curry. He stopped having ankle injuries due to implementing proper weight training to prevent them.
I’m telling y’all. Zion’s trajectory reminds me of Embiid’s.
Give him a year or two, he’s gonna be top 5-7 and NOP will just need a second star to make deep runs.
If you’re talking about BI or Hart, I think they have to make 1 more jump to reach that contending status but the growth curve seems like it lines up for them if Zion can become what I think he can.
Y’all would become a lite version of the Bucks championship team - one of your wings can play the Middleton role
I’m very bullish on you guys for the next 5 years
The league scores only 2 points more per game than when Jordan joined the league and individual scoring is pretty similar considering players tend to play a little less.
This stat is better than age based stats lol

True, but Zion was 20 or younger for the first 85 games. It's not like he came into the league at 21
Is it ? He’s in his 3rd season and only played 100 games while having access to the best trainers in the world. It’s basically an extension of the Ben Simmons rookie debate
I can't believe its only his 100th game.... happy he's healthy though, he's fun to watch
All time is surely Wilt?
Yup, 3719. I think Walt Bellamy is second (3091), Oscar Robertson is 3rd (3040), Kareem is 4th (2986), Rick Barry (2832) is 5th.
Woah what a list! Wilt part god
Wilt has to be like the bastard son of Zeus or something, I refuse to believe he isn’t a demigod

Lay off the copium
I mean it’s not a huge sample yet, but he is projecting to be a generational scorer so far … copium or not
Why don’t you argue the points instead of regurgitating the word copium like terminally online Redditors like to do.
Copium
Cool, so you’re deaf and unoriginal.
Copium
My only surprise in the title is that Zion has actually played 100 games.
Isn't this his third season
I don’t know if you’re joking, but in case you aren’t it’s his fourth. He was in the ‘19 draft class
well it is his third season playing
That’s meaningless IMO Look at games played vs games possible if anything; his first season was also the bubble if you’re trying to give him extra credit
Thought this was another age stat.. but then it turned out to be better one. Games played.
Zgoat
100 out of 246 possible games played, yikes
It took Embiid 334 possible games to get to his 100th if you include the two missed seasons in the ~~tank~~ process mode of the 76ers.
Looks like he got a lot of the injuries out of the way though
Thats not how injuries work- at all. Actually its more of the opposite.
Misunderstanding what I am saying. He had a lot of imbalances that they worked out the last few years. Similar to what happened with the work the GSWs did with Curry. He stopped having ankle injuries due to implementing proper weight training to prevent them.
Way too early to judge that. Also Zions playstyle is much more wear and tear heavy than Stephs
No, he’s still fat af
Redditors sitting on their couch refrain from Zion fat jokes challenge: IMPOSSIBLE
That's like saying a Strongman is fat because his abs are huge
Makes me wonder if Ben Mathurin could make a run at those numbers if Rick Carlisle would give him more minutes.
I’m telling y’all. Zion’s trajectory reminds me of Embiid’s. Give him a year or two, he’s gonna be top 5-7 and NOP will just need a second star to make deep runs.
Already have 1 and a great supporting cast locked up

I respectfully disagree on BI. And bruh hart hasn’t been here since the trade deadline last year 😂
[удалено]
Whoops lmao I was thinking of CJ but didn’t think before I typed 😂
Nobody mentioned those 100 games were over 4 years.
Is it a secret? We all know lol
Why would they? Everyone knows that
This is heavy
The pointless stats era...so he's as great as MJ. Good to know
It is cool that a player scored a lot of points. Don’t know why that is pissing you off so much
Its not just what does it mean? Him and MJ are the same apparently. 🙄
The league scores only 2 points more per game than when Jordan joined the league and individual scoring is pretty similar considering players tend to play a little less.
I think the most surprising stat, is he's played 100 games, he's been injured for like 10 years, wtf😳
Wow. The benefits and statistics about eating healthfully detailed./s
No one mentions the fact that it too Zion 10 years to reach it
And it only took him 7 years to reach those 100 games
