Zion (since returning from injury)
- Thread starter Quavarius
- Start date
Q, you are so right, except that we will also get to see him play in The League, World Championships, and Olympics, in all of which he will be a super representative of Duke and the Brotherhood.
Anyone think it was strange in the last game how much trouble he had holding onto the ball? Seemed like a lot more then normal. Also a lot of people falling. Was the floor slick?
I know there were some people who post on this board who were at the game, so they'd be able to comment, as well.
The person I know who was there for both Friday and Sunday said it was hot in the building and that perspiration from the players caused a little bit of havoc during all the sessions.
And to the point above, I'm guessing the size of Tacko also played a role.
Enjoy the ride. We might never see a college player like Zion ever again.
^ very crazy to think about! I cannot live with not getting another 4 games!
Zion is on another level.
About the floor, I've played in many gyms (as a pickup player) and I've been in some where it was almost impossible not to slide every time you make a move. Some of them were so 'waxed' up, and some because of the heat and humidity. I used to play in a gym that was part of a school for kids with disabilities, and it had a 'rubber coating' on the floor. Oh man, you could make cuts, spins, anything with absolute precision and no slipping whatsoever. I thought it was perfect for playing basketball.

Backboards, we didn't need any stinkin' backboards! But it was a pain in the *** to use a broom to push that ball back up out of that basket. Man, when they cut a hole in it, that was so cool...and fastbreaks were easier too.

My post was WRONG!
And I just had a class at work about harassment too!....I guess it didn't take!!
Haha, no soup for you! I love having fun, life is too short to be dour and sour all the time!
I remember as a kid (yeah, a loooooooooooong time ago) when we used to say 'sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me'. We've come a long way from that now, and people get offended by so little.

It was funny on Sunday, near the end of the first half my son commented that Zion was having an off game. Yes, we witnessed the slips and the multiple fumbles of the ball when he went to make his moves. And he missed some shots, GASP!!!
I pulled up the stats and we was something like 6 for 10 with 15 points.
Yeah........an off night
We are blessed as Duke fans to have this young man for just a short time. These four years will go by so fast!

Chuck Taylor's had some good grip. I had the high tops because of my quick first step
I mean i averaged 50 in my prime so i don’t get the big deal
Dang your family must have been rich or something. I was able to get a new pair of pic-n-pay Cuga's every 2 years. So if I chose to jump in creeks and mud with my Cugas then that what I wore to the games as well and I loved jumping creeks.
Loved it too. The last season wasn’t the best though as a whole. The last few episodes were tho!
I thought the proposal scene in the last episode was amazing, haha.
The floor had droplets of water forming all over the place. I was in the first row balcony and you could see moisture forming in the glare on the floor.
we must be close to the same age, I remember all that too. things were a lot less complicated then.
I just saw on the Duke Men’s Basketball Facebook page that it looks like Zion has won another NPOY Award
It's called Psych. It was a comedy about a guy with a photographic memory pretending to be a psychic detective. Look it up, it's hilarious.
Yeah, things have changed a lot, some for the better, and some for the worse.
I'm 66 working my way quickly to 67, if I make it.

His numbers have been amazing. I'm getting greedy. I want 40 in the title game giving is #6!
