Proud of Kyrie for getting on his grown man shit and apologizing to Lebron for being hard-headed a couple years ago. Everybody wants to be a leader but very few can actually do it. Yea, that’s a grown man move. He realize the trials and tribulations of being a leader

I hope Zion Williamson doesn’t get drafted by Cleveland, he’ll never outlive the pressure of Lebron’s shadow.

The only comparison between Zion and LeBron is their athletic bodies at their respective ages
He's not a once in a lifetime can't miss talent like LeBron is but he will be box office because everyone will go to games to watch him catch a body

Because Kyrie never ever had the hype of Williamson. Kerr proclaimed him once in a lifetime like LBJ. I take his words seriously.

Hype is only good to sell tickets
He has a very rare athletic talent but I don't see him coming into the game and averaging 20, 5 and 5 like LeBron did when he got here
Kerr has an eye for talent but once in a lifetime talent is very rare and that means you are going to change the game like KD, LeBron, Steph and I don't see that with Zion yet
That's not to say he's going to be bum. I expect him in many all star games and to be a talented player but he's very raw with the tools to be great but he has to be molded

I think he can change the game based on his strength. He’s the most unstoppable force I’ve seen since Lebron.

If Zion were to have a knee injury and lose his athletic ability he's done because his game is not that varied yet to sustain himself on the court
A guy like LeBron has never solely been about his athletic gifts and while he still has hops even in his mid 30's his all around game and mind has always been his calling card
Zion doesn't want to be known as just a dunker which is why I have faith in him but he's def going get by in the NBA early on based upon his raw ability and athleticism but he's going have to continue to grow because he's nowhere near a finished product but he has an extremely high upside

Boogie wants to say that the Warriors are the most hated team in sports. I can think of teams way more hated. Off the top of my head: New York Yankees Boston Red Sox Dallas Cowboys New England Patriots Detroit Red Wings Montreal Canadiens Boston Celtics Los Angeles Lakers And that's just for the North American Big Four.
That's not to say that it's all sunshine and roses for the Warriors, but outside of dudes like Draymond, people only hate them currently because they're winning. Once they fall back to Earth, people will be neutral to them again.

Did the Kings miss their flight to Charlotte? Ugly game from everyone. Have to show up for the next game against Detroit or this road trip can spiral out of control. The Kings cannot possibly keep Bagley out of the starting five for much longer... Bjelica has been between invisible and bad for quite some time now.

Give me your ideal Kings starting 5 Probably just switch Bagley for Bjelica, and have a quick hook on Willie when his head isn’t in the game. He’s been good ever since Giles found his way into the rotation. Fox Hield Shumpert (need an upgrade via trade here though) Bagley WCS

Zion has a varied skill set, he's just not polished. He's already a good passer for a player whose calling card is size and athleticism. He's putting up great defensive numbers. He's great on the boards. His ball-handling is above-average. He doesn't compare to LBJ because he had elite passing and court vision from the womb. I am concerned about Zion's knees, but he's not a guy who is just athleticism and dunks. What will be interesting to see is when he gets specialized training in the draft process. Him getting leaner would not only reduce the stress on his knees and increase his stamina (which is good now, but won't age well), but him being leaner would also make him more explosive. Which is how LeBron can still get up after all these years, he would have very different hops if he were still 270+. But he invests heavily in streamlining his body. Zion hasn't even gotten to that point yet, and if he does, it could mean his ceiling is somehow higher.

Kings interested in Harrison Barnes
Not a name I expected to be out there but he has championship experience and could be a nice complimentary piece
