Message: [QUOTE="cuseincincy, post: 3463344, member: 331"] Zion is obviously very talented and IF he can stay healthy will be a great player for years. But the media love for him is still over the top and blinding. Case in point last night...Zion starts to drive, just inside the foul line he lowers his shoulder into Valanciunas (6'11" 265) and then hits an open 12 footer. And we get this from Doris Burke "Zion moved Valanciunas 9 1/2 feet on tht shot!" And like it was a good thing they went on to measure on screen how far back Valanciunas was "moved" by Zion's shoulder. Offensive foul anyone? How else does a player in good defensive position end up 9 1/2 feet away from where he was standing? And a followup...How does Zion continue to wear Nikes? He slid out of his shoe again last night though it didn't rip out on him this time. [/QUOTE]
