A month ago Scottie Pippen said that Zion Williamson should shut it down because he’d already locked down the No.1 pick in the draft and done enough for college basketball. Ole boy said that Zion should start thinking about himself now. Well…here’s his exact quote, “I think he’s locked up the biggest shoe deal. I think he’s definitely going to be the number 1 pick. I think he’s done enough for college basketball that it’s more about him personally now. I think for him as a young player that I would shut it down.”
Everybody and their baby’s momma thought Pip was crazy, including me!! For once Scottie was making more sense than anybody else talking. On Wednesday night with the basketball world tuned in to see Duke vs. North Carolina for one reason and one reason only, Zion!!! The worst situation imaginable occurred. He blew through his Nike shoe 36 seconds into the game and seemingly pulled something in or around his knee and didn’t return.

Side Note: Terrible look for Nike.
Duke went on to get the brakes beaten off of them 88-72 at the crib but most importantly, Zion was hurt and he was the only reason the casual college basketball fan wanted the see the game. The tickets were selling higher than Super Bowl tickets bruh. According to SeatGeek.com on Wednesday morning tickets were reselling for an average of $3,296. That’s a higher average resale price than tickets at four of the past nine Super Bowls, according to company spokesperson Chris Leyden.
And guess what playa? Zion Williamson didn’t make a dime off going out there and getting hurt. He’s worth millions of dollars right now and the NCAA says that giving him free room, board and tuition that he has absolutely no use for is sufficient.
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! Everybody and their baby’s momma, Uncle LeRoy and cousin Man-Man got paid leading up to this game but the players playing in it and most importantly, Zion Williamson. You know it’s a big deal when the former President of the United States shows up because he’s got nothing else to do on a Wednesday night.
Yep, Scottie Pippen looked like a genius 33 seconds into that game. I hope that the kid is okay and that it’s not a major injury but either way he should be on his way home this morning.
If he were my kid he’d be withdrawing from school packing up whatever he’d like to take with him and bouncing throwing the deuces in the air like Chris Brown. It should be all about him just like Scottie said a month ago when we all wouldn’t listen to him. He doesn’t need school bruh. He’ll be a millionaire in June.
Sorry Scottie for not listening to you but 90 percent of the time you’re talking out of the side of your neck and it’s hard many times to decipher what’s making sense and what’s not. Stop me when I start lyin’!
