I don’t care what Zion does. I know it brought us Wall, Davis, & others but in my opinion we should never see those guys in CBB. It’s a joke they have to go to school a year if they don’t need to. Let them go out of high school.
I'll second that. If he could get Barrett to shut it down as well that'll be great.
I really think Pippen has a point. Why risk a major injury and millions of dollars to show how you are not a sissy, as some put it. Of course, if Zion did this, I don't think any posters would call him a sissy on an empty street unless they had their running shoes on!![[roll]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/roll.r191677.gif "roll [roll]")

Never gets old
Can you imagine Zion at 35 years old? Can you remember the fridge? Yeah I want to see that guy going up and down the court at even 30 years old. Unless he loses major weight he will not.
Of course he could always switch to football...
R.J. Barrett, Zion Williamson both are suppose to go 1 and 2 in the draft they both should listen to Pippen and shut it down. I would love it and seeing K go crazy over it
I know you have to look out for yourself but if you quit, what does that say about you as a person. That you likely are just going to quit when your NBA team is out of it. It’s amazing what has become acceptable in today’s society and this is a dude older than me spewing this garbage.
Is Zion really a good basketball player. He's just a superior athlete in college so he just goes thru and over most players. but he cant shoot 15ft or out and the NBA is all about perimeter scoring now, even bigs.
He's a poor mans Blake Griffin IMO, how'ld that work for Clippers, not good until D Jordan and Paul and others arrived and it still wasn't enough...by the time he learned to shoot outside at all they had missed their window to win big in the NBA. Some highlight dunks sure, sell a lot of merchandise & tickets great, but not a game changing NBA player that will turn a franchise around.
I've seen this show before, He cant shoot and is undersized 6-7 to live inside. Good luck with that pick. Heck, Barrett also 6-7 is the better NBA prospect on his own team.

Pippen makes some good points, but he (Zion) could get hit by a block of "blue ice" (from an airplane) walking across campus. He can't live his life being afraid of getting hurt and hurting his NBA career.
He tripped and fell over his feet in the McDonald's (or Jordan Classic) and dislocated his thumb. He also sat out much of the summer because a hurt foot or knee or something like that. Big Tree fall hard.

I do too unless it’s UK players.I agree with Scottie 100%
3 words Michael Jordan never said. Shut it down. Don't know where Pippen picked up that idea. Randy Shannon had something to say about shutting it down. You do that now, you'll do it later.
It is entirely a character flaw and a serious one. If what Pippen wants to happen, happens and I were an NBA team, I'd run away the opposite direction from Zion and anything associated with him... No care for anyone but self. That is dangerous. Real glad that guy never made it to UK anyway due to what he already did but if this happens, geez...
Why even play basketball in middle school, high school or college. You could get hurt. Just wait until you are eligible for the NBA draft.
If this starts becoming a thing, that'll be the tipping point when I finally hang my hat up and quit watching.
It sounds like a good idea if you are the projected top pick. You have to be sure the scouts understand why you are doing it. Right now is the perfect time, he can say the Jones injury made him re-evaluate his situation and decide not to risk injury.
His best bet is to fake a minor injury, then show up at individual workouts before the draft and show that it wasn't anything serious. That way he doesn't have to listen to all the media outcry about betraying K, Duke, and it's fans.
If I were in his shoes and had no integrity, that's what I would do. If it's true that he already took payment (new house) for playing for Duke, then why would he care to miss the rest of the season? His scruples are questionable anyway, if the rumors are true.

If the NBA had it their way there wouldn't even be a college game anymore Analyst, Big Wigs they all seem to want to do away with it or knock it down to a lower level. Paying the G league players more is probably just a start. F off NBA! However in just this one case I do agree with shutting down Zion for the year LOL.
