Obviously, it was against the Utah Jazz and what I'm most impressed by watching him.

It's his quickness.

He's really quick.

I mean, he's got that first step.

He's got some speed, but he's also got some quickness, some acceleration.

And when you look at it from that perspective, and then you consider the power, the strength, just a mass of this young man, uh, the sky's the limit for him as long as he can stay healthy.

And God help anybody if he plays, uh, you know, with a little bit more ambidextrous skills when he uses both hands instead of just his left.

God help Everybody wants that happens.

Uh, if he stays healthy because he's definitely got the heart.

He ain't scared anything.

He's scaring everybody else.

He's incredibly impressive, no doubt about it.

And and and it's also hurting John Moran from the standpoint that we know that John Moran can ball, we're proud of the fact that he's rookie of the year.

But every time you see Zion, you recognize the design have been healthy.

John Moran would not have been rookie of the year.

That's pretty easy to surmise.

But in the end, still at all.

When you look at the Utah Jazz, when the top shooting three point team in the league shot 17 to 43 from three point range last night, look at Mike Conley Jr didn't have that good of a night.

Look at Donovan Mitchell.

He shot 7 to 21 from the field.

He didn't have that good of a night, so it wasn't really really there night.

And you got to give New Orleans credit because their defense has been hard and they've been trying to improve upon that.

And last night they prioritized that to some degree.

So Stan Van Gundy deserves a lot of credit in that regard as well, because we all know the man can coach.

But in the end, still in all, I don't think that compares to Harden 30 15, 14 or 50% shooting from the field, 42% shooting from three point range, 44 minutes played and not one single turnover in 44 minutes and point guard.

I can't ignore that.

Harden had the better night, and I think the strongest part of your argument is the no turnovers like for a guy that had to play 44 minutes to be the primary ball handler to orchestrate the offense.

To have a triple double with 30 something points and not to turn the ball over is extremely impressive.

We're talking about two very impressive performances last night.

Zion Williamson was taking it to Rudy Gobert.

He was taking it to Rudy Gobert.

There was nothing anyone could do.

That's the number one guy you'd want probably in the league, in the paint to try to stop him.

There was no stopping them.

You talk about Zion's quickness and you could talk about him off the dribble, and he has better handles and given credit for.

And there's enough wiggle in his game to be successful at this level as a wide body.

What about his quickness to grab the reef to grab the board off his own Mrs.

I'm trying to think I think it's the quickest I've ever seen.

In other words, the guy goes up in the paint, he puts the ball up.

It doesn't you know he doesn't get it to go.

Zion gets back up off the floor faster than anyone I've ever seen and does it with crazy hops.

He was considering the team they played, considering his age, considering his responsibilities in the offense now, considering the way the game was going and the momentum and what felt like the inevitable.

The Jazz are always the ones who make the halftime adjustments.

And then here it comes, and they were already winning in the game.

By the way, I didn't mention this, considering this is a Zion Williamson led team and the Jazz did come back, of course, they eventually surged back, and the Pelicans held them off in a night of amazing performances both by Zion and Harden.

I was most impressed, not argue with the best performance.

I was most impressed by the 20 year old Zion Williamson.

Last time I checked, when we asked what was more impressive, you're talking about what was the better performances?

You've already conceded that that James Harden, which means you're just talking because you want to hear your voice.

You want to hear your own voice.

You already know impression.

You already know I'm right, you know, I'm just isn't okay, Max.

Camera Stephen A.

You know, What was so impressive?

Top Super Bowl.

He's 43 years old.

It's not hard things to do.

You already, said Stephen.

There you're absolutely right.

You just The point is, I'm pointing out Agent circumstances.

What impresses me?

You got under my skin just like Stephen A.

Smith.
