Stephon Marbury Appears To Have Gotten Into The Vaseline Again
[Sportando] – “The reason why I would say LeBron is not the best basketball player is because he can’t shoot. Only Zion Williamson has the opportunity to be better than Michael Jordan. Zion is going to destroy the whole entire basketball planet. Zion is way better than LeBron, it’s not even close.”
Goddamnit, Steph, what is this? I mean it’s just so wrong on so many levels. First off, Zion isn’t even the best player on Duke. That would be RJ Barrett, who seems to somehow be flying under the radar since people only want to talk about Zion. I’d argue that Cam Reddish is even better Zion.
