1. How do you know he didn't do everything possible to prevent it listen he didn't and now he do everything possible he do to prevent it it's injuries injuries are going to happen look around the league more than half the superstars are injured in the league right now for some strange reason y'all think Zion should never get hurt and now that he's been hurt every time he tweak something we can videos like this he will get hurt again this won't be his last time he's probably going to get her 30 more times in his career if he keep playing and so well just about every player in the NBA that place is significant amount of minutes

2. Mr. ErryDat'rr 👈🏾 Thanks Jake!

3. Every season he's been here has basically been a disappointment….

4. Z is gonna join the list of what could've been players. He's a great guy but we have to be honest with ourselves. His name will be mentioned with Greg Oden, Grant Hill, Brandon Roy, etc…..

5. 💯 guarantee Z's comeback will be delayed due to conditioning and once he comes back he'll still b outta shape

6. Let's Go New Orleans Pelicans 😂😂😂😅😅😅 Lol……

7. Facts 💯 percent 😮😮😮

8. Bet 100k Jose comeback 2wks min b4 Z

9. My advice to Z is don’t worry about injuries when you’re not injured play every game like it’s your last because anything could happen

10. Well yes @ Jake the problem is now hopefully b.i. Will want to stay so they can build around him and Trey like they should’ve

11. Build around BI, if not he will be welcomed in BK 🗽💫

12. 6 years of evidence shows you can't. However, this is Nola they are okay with mediocrity.

13. Pels should play him more at the three

14. The City is tired of the excessive amount of injuries(For both pro teams). Its not bad luck if its a consistent pattern. There's just a lot of frustration.

15. Cooper Flagg loading…

16. jake says that it isnt the moment to trade him because his not valuable right now But imagine if the sabe happens next season He wiil be even cheaper in the market… it can always get worse

17. Since being drafted only played 190 games. Unacceptable. Time to move on. This guy doesn't take his craft serious. These guys must not stretch or something. Hamstring problems everywhere.

18. No, Zion doesn't deserve credit for being in shape. He's a professional athlete, that's the bare minimum. Pels should trade Zion asap.

19. The fan base is exhausted. Trade Zion to the Phoenix Mercury for Brittney Griner. I think most fans would prefer to watch Griner for 75+ games vs. Zion for 1/3 of the season.

    Griner would also solve our center problem.

20. I can appreciate the positivity., but how do we know he’s doing the right thing? Because he said it? Package him with a pick and see what you can get! The fanbase is sick of this.

21. Jake..I respect the quality of your work, but you appear to be too deep in the pockets of the Pels to have your takes at this point.

22. I'm just tired of it. He's holding the team hostage. We never have been able to build chemistry or really see how pieces fit. Maybe he'll get it together and his talent meets with his preparation/health. It just isn't going to be with Zion in NOLA. Let's move on. It's doesn't have to be an ugly breakup, but it still needs to be a breakup.

23. JAKE..please speak the TRUTH

24. Trade him, He's a bust

25. We need to rebuild this roster a more balanced and fitting roster build around DJ, Murphy, hawk and herb

26. With Jose down, any chance they bring Elfrid Payton back up to fill in? Thought he looked pretty good in the preseason…

27. Sign elfrid Payton

28. Zion, cj, and 2 firsts for giannis

29. Every dayer!! 🇵🇭🇵🇭

30. Let's just move on!
    HOPE and EXCITEMENT is better for the team and fans, instead of Expectstions and Disappointment.

31. Jake, are you on Zion's payroll? Zion and the Pelicans are in a bad "Marriage" and it is time for a divorce!!!!

32. Ok let’s be honest here. Every super star in this league plays on a team with a system and offensive identity which Zion has never had. If Zion had that I believe he would not be in the position he’s in today.

33. I think "rely on" is asking way too much

34. Owners need to negotiate that players get 50% of pay for games missed throughout the season and playoffs. That would solve this issue. Larry Bird played when he was hurt all the time. Today’s players are way too soft!

35. Crazy thing is that when Pelicans get rid of him he'll become the best player in the NBA, win multiple champions, and league MVP

36. The Pels are 30th in the NBA in rim protection. Missi has been Miss-ing 90% of his minutes. Play Jemison and send Yves to G-league where he belongs.

37. Man Z going to be like grant hill get paid and never play 60% of full season in his whole career

38. Zion Williamson was a could have been story but never lived up to the hype because of injuries.i think it’s time for a full rebuild

39. Jake is compromised…

40. 6 years later we still don’t know what playoff Zion look like man go ahead and get him outta here

41. I thought this was a revenge season for Zion I mean that's what Zion said.
