accurate - in the past I've called it the "old lunch lady" walk. His gait is off / he used to swing his hips with regular steps like he was in pain or bow-legged. That's not normal, though I think it's gotten a bit better or at least visibly less severe.

Flabbergasted? No, I was asking what his status was, and hoping he wasn't done for the year. The NBA is more fun with him and I own a couple of his cards.

Since Joel's first season on the court in 2016, he's never missed more than 30 regular season games and that was during the COVID year when he was out with Covid for 3+ weeks.

According to analytics [which he hates], Barkley is a top 12-15 player alltime.

11th in PER, 14th in WS, 9th in Offensive +/-, 14th in VORP, 11th in Playoff PER, 13th in Off Rating, 11x All-NBA, 5x 1st Team, 8x top 6 MVP, 6th in career Rbs, 28th in steals, 14th in True Shooting.

I doubt Zion will have that career because the odds are highly stacked against anyone having that career. Barkley was amazingly durable.

I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

I don't own any Zion cards, I just want him to stay healthy because it's good for the league.

Cheap for a reason tho.



I shall, however, consider fractional shares of his select bass if he ever wins the chip.


Is that the same kinesiologist that prompted you to bust out the ridge wallet for the NBA's iteration of Cal Ripken Jr?





Face it. We're both indirect financial supporters of Kaiser Permanente healthcare facilities.

Embrace adversity.

Completely forgot I had picked these up. Sending off to PSA soon. Poor man’s One and One.

Hoping Zion is suited up for season opener, 80 hours and counting...

The big difference to me is JJJ played 90 games last year, 78 regular szn +12 playoff games... Zion is at 85 games played in 3 seasons. JJJ can walk in a straight line without doing a two-step - his issues thus far have seemingly been bad luck while Zion's seem far deeper in a physiological sense. Ya done been warned

6 separate knee issues (8 total leg related) scattered throughout a 3 year time span.....along with his most recent foot setback....bad; luck?

If that's the case, Z's 23andme printout has to show some kind of distant ties to Dublin....

Knock on wood.


Voodoo hex, Morant jeering, youtube sports doc plagiarism: whatever helps you reason and cope through the trying times, my man. We all have our mechanisms.

Appreciate the constructive criticism, but me and these stack of winter hoops bass are doing just fine.

Think I'll source my kinesiological financial assessments from licensed proctologists that don't have JJJ and Jonathan Isaac in their IRA port.

He got a chef. He has been learning to take care of himself. His team has been taking precautions to protect him from injuries before being completely healed from his previous injury. He is a one in a generational talent. Get your popcorn and enjoy the show.

Woo chile...sang it.


For 20 years of my life I foolishly aspired to be Like Ike.



I can now say, beyond certainty, that the apex of human existence is to be transmogrified into a flying refrigerator.

Boy, it feels good to get back into this thread with some excitement/anticipation of seeing our boy on the court.

Last year was depressing as a Zion fan with all the half-truths and secrecy around his status. Let's hope this year is nothing but watching Zion feast and take another step forward.
