Zion Williamson?

That is what I was thinking as well. There isn't anyone like him. 6'6 285 or whatever he is. You put that kind of pressure in the right spot with the right force, I can see how it would happen.
I don't think it's a big deal. Nike will eat some **** on Twitter for a few days and maybe their stock price dips a little today, and that's about the extent of it. Stuff happens.
Beside the point, but have any of you seen these rumors about Culver jumping up draft boards because he may still be growing? I just thought it was a funny analysis. He does look like a tall 6'6" out there.

Duke needs to switch to Adidas....much more support.

I could see him rising up the boards a little based on that, I guess. I don't know. When I watched him against ISU earlier this season I thought he was pretty good but nothing about him screamed lottery pick. I haven't seen enough TT games to say for sure. If there's a possibility he could still grow another few inches then the buzz makes sense.
More on the Zion Williamson front...
Jay Williams is enraged with the trip...
But it's a-okay when a Dukie does it...
The guy is probably the most physically gifted player I've ever seen in college basketball. He's insanely talented but my word does it get old hearing about him every minute of a college basketball game. No seriously... a reddit user on /r/collegebasketball kept track during the game last night. 128 mentions during a 2 hour basketball game. That's more than one mention/minute. ESPN, stop... please.

He kept track of the number of Zion references during a Duke game that Zion was in the middle of dominating coming off of injury and he's surprised the number is high?The guy is probably the most physically gifted player I've ever seen in college basketball.

128 times. In a 120 minute basketball game. They have animated graphics of Zion... on the screen... while the live version of Zion is currently.... on the screen. Did you know he likes anime? They had a countdown to the return of Zion yesterday afternoon. Maybe he should of kept track how many times he was mentioned during VT and FSU yesterday.. would that be more intriguing? How many non ACC games have you seen this year where he was mentioned during live ball action? Seriously... it's in the dozens for me and I don't watch an insane amount of basketball. I'm not saying he shouldn't get attention, but it has been over the top for weeks.
He definitely wouldn't be mentioned this much if he wasn't at Duke!
Wrong. He is far and away the best player in college basketball, he’d be mentioned just as much wherever else he may have gone if he was dominating like he is. His performance last night alone proves this.
You are just wanting to complain about something
Oh really? You don't think Ja Morant wouldn't get more love if he was at Duke instead of Murray?

But couldn't be bothered to point out his blatant travel on his first dunk. NBA ready!
He's great, but the slobberfest does get old.
I agree. It was bad enough last year with Trae Young. This is a much worse.
Yeah, but with Trae Young so much of it was unwarranted. I think his ceiling in the NBA is Dollar Store Steph Curry. Good, not great.
This guy could potentially be the next big NBA superstar. He's backing up all the hype with games like last night.
I keep thinking back to Maui. We're playing great at half and Bill Walton is trying to give us some props, they go to the half time analysis and they're like 'So Duke has this guy named Zion...' SMH.
