No 'fixed timeline' on Zion's return to Pelicans

There is no 'fixed timeline' on Zion Williamson's return from offseason foot surgery, New Orleans Pelicans vice president of basketball operations said on Thursday.

He needs to get in shape. His legs will never be right if continues to play carrying the weight he is and the force he plays with. I called this back at Duke when you look at his frame. He's prone to having weight. He's gonna have to work to stay trim.

Love the Durant quote I saw on Kyrie - "what is being mad going to do? You're not going to change his mind."

In other words you can’t fix crazy

pretty reasonable

id switch LeBron and Jordan---- and the Kobe vs. Shaq thing is very tough. Kobe had the longevity and was greater far longer- but at the height of their games Shaq was a bigger force.

Id prob. put Magic over Kareem----

but overall- i think if you look at the top 5 as a group, and 6-10 as a group- that his top 10 is as close to a consensus as many basketball fans would get.

 

[WiggyRuss]

id prob. go something like:

1. Jordan
2. LeBron
3. Magic
4. Kareem
5. Bird
6. Wilt
7. Kobe
8. Duncan
9. Shaq
10. Russell

 

[WiggyRuss]

who is the highest ranked player on that "all time" list still playing?

I would go
1. LeBron (obvious)
2. Durant
3. Curry
4. CP3
5. Kawhi or Harden at #5? Prob. Kawhi right?

 

[bksballer89]

Tyler Herro going to win most improved player

 

[DJ Fieri]

Shaq doesn't get enough love as a top 5-10 player.

Add Hakeem, Remove Russell

 

[Shanemansj13]

1. MJ
2. LBJ
3. Kareem
4. Magic
5 Bird
6. Hakeem
7. Wilt
8. Shaq
9. Kobe
10. Duncan

Honorable mention:
11. Oscar

Also, I think 6-8 could be in any order but I prefer Hakeem for many different reasons

 

[DJ Fieri]

He wasn't there long....LOL.

Tonight was the dress rehearsal game for the Heat. Looks like when healthy, they'll run a 9 man rotation until Dipo is back

Starters- Lowry, Butler, Robinson, Tucker, and Bam
Bench- Herro, Straus, Morris, and Deadmon

 

[thunderc]

I would say the Mavs are taking the preseason pretty seriously, crushing teams.
