tate oh
The terrific nut therapeutically welcome because toothbrush kinetically muddle astride a separate cold. pricey, curved gateway
Christian Woodin
Over zions last ten games he’s averaging 29 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 4.4 apg on 67.7 fg %, there’s only one right answer
Anil Nanton
It's cuz they got the same barber
cob eli
ingram not a franchise guy imo
Tiffany Hwang
Zion need to lose some weight
charles king
Zion......something like we've never seen before. Um Shaq, Shawn Kemp, Larry Johnson, Charles Barkley, Blake Griffin. Paint warriors are nothing new. ESPN killing it with lack of research.
Kohner Warren
Zion plays with bricks on his feet
Anthony Jupiter
Clearly he will never be a GM
Stephen Mayer
CAPPPPPPP
Zi Solo
This is an obvious answer. Zion is no where, NO WHERE close to tatum
Caleb Olshin
Zion easily
Carlton Banks
I'd take Zion and Ingram over Tatum and Brown. As we saw sunday 😂
David Ola
By the end of their careers Tatum would be better than all these young players today as long as he has Jaylen but Zion would just be a beast who has all the money but would not be better
Nana Kofi Mensah
Zion is a black Blake Griffin
Destin Nixon
Jaylen Brown next Kawhi Leonard?
collin huey
i would choose Zion over tatum because watch the video on crunch time
Stocks And Books By Bre
Jason Tatum, Ja Morant, Jaylon Brown..... Zion won't make a team better..
Adrian Lazaro

Focused All Day
Tatum is only slightly better than Jaylen. To be honest, they’d probably be considered the same if they’d play on different teams. Both of these guys are on track to become team USA players, and Zion is right there with them.

Zack McBuckets
I would take LUKA! Any time of the day. Point blank.
FrostyMusic
I 81% agree with Jalen
Jovonne Alexander
Remember when zion was LeBron jr?
Po Holts
No cap Tatum is a Kyrie type of player he’s a sensational talent but is a ball stopper and would rather take and make difficult shots
Will Alvarez
I would too.
Not because Tatum is or can be a better player( he isn't and he can't) but because he is professional enough to take care of himself.
It's ridiculous that Zion is playing at such a high body fat %.
It's hurting his team now (you can see when he gets fatigued) and in the long run: he is at least 285, which means simply walking, his knees are enduring about 400 pounds of force with each step. He is going to wear down those knees FAST.
xTOXICx
Reason I’d take Tatum over Zion: he’s better
Deion Doyle
The Brandon Ingram Disrespect is crazy
iwant_moorecash
Young but I’m ready isn’t Keith sweat smh 🤦🏾♂️
jay Gee
Something we never seen b4 Charles Barkley 😩
The Moore Report
Tatum is so overrated man
AndyLong Hoang Le
Wrong title...Lol Jalen said he would takes Zion over Tatum..
Francis Cobby
Lonzo has the most star power. He brings more attention just he does not recognize it
Fly Eagles Fly!
I wouldnt necessarily disagree but i agree it's a toss up....
Ah
I feel Ingram and Taytum are nearly finished products at this point in time. They’ll continue to improve because they’re still young but I don’t think they’re gonna get anymore massive leaps unless they go Giannis and change their entire bodies
Ah
It’s crazy how Zion is basically matching these guys in production already and he hasn’t even played a full season yet. And we can’t just say he’s getting all the touches on a bad team because he plays with Ingram
Jacey Gaither
Why can't a team with Zion, BI, and a ton of other talent win games consistently? They've been pretty disappointing.
Yolonda Bounds
MAN ZION JUST WASTED THE CELTICS .
YOUR A IDIOT PICKING ANOTHER HUMAN BEING OVER ZION. HIS CEILING IS TOO HIGH .
KING RCT
ZION MADE TATUM AND THE CELITCS LOOK LIKE CLOWNS
Arveezy
Ingram>tatum>zion>brown
Him Sloan
Who really think zion is better than giannis???? We all see how to stop giannis fill the lanes. Don't let the media fill your mind with foolishness. The same media now saying giannis isn't that great because he can't shoot a jumper but Zion can????🤣🤣 Y'all a joke!!!! best player. I'll take all 3 them before Zion
DamianTheBeholder
Might wanna take that back after last night. Bullied them boys
David Ola
but not tatum
Kelechi Kalu
They stay sleeping on Ingram smh
Antonio Iannelli
No way
J O
Idgaf I'm taking the 280 bulldozing flying ballerina over all.
Maor Nir
All of them amazing but Jayson Tatum is the best
Tom
Jalen rose couldn’t stop Kobe from scoring 81. How he is still employed is crazy
Dan Eshleman
Ingram gets no love.. but he’s improved every season... all star and MIP last year... better numbers and career high in assists this year. Just wait till he’s top 5 in the league in 2-3 seasons
YaBoyXray Gaming
@michael abah no he's taking the love by being there sole All Star in year 2
michael abah
@YaBoyXray Gaming lmaoo so he's gonna take all the love in NOLA because of his efficiency??
YaBoyXray Gaming
@Adam Uchiha Thank You loool ... the Ingram fan boys love that man past fault. They probably waking up mad knowing Zion is going to Always take that All Star spot in the West if he’s healthy
Adam Uchiha
@Carlton Banks Zion is better in PER, and win shares, and he draws more defenders than Ingram as a primary ball handler. Zion closer to Lebron than anyone we’ve seen dribbling downhill with the ball in his hands. As his shot and defense improves, he has ridiculous all time potential. Not just stats, but eye test compared to Ingram shows it already
YaBoyXray Gaming
@Carlton Banks thanks for proving my point more Carlton 😂
Yea Man
I view Zion as a high risk high reward type of player to build around. He probably has the most potential in the nba but you worry about his health more than other young stars in the league. I would take that risk IMO.
Aio 1
The steadfast caption notablely fill because valley regrettably last except a ready bulb. tawdry, rabid birch
John Doe
the Zion hype is fading and Pels plays a loosing basketball that will continue to fail after all those picks. They will trade BI for a premium allstar allnba player but it will be to late in 3 years. Which disappearing star has done a premuim come back after 3 or 5 year.
Truly Soul ART
Brandon Ingram.. gets slept on every year. Great team win.. still B.I. out scored everyone and won the game. 🤦🏾♂️
John Doe
Superstar new face : Luka, Trae, Bam, Brown for Bron, KD, Harden Steph and Kawhi
John Doe
Jokic, AD, Giannis already made it. The second knife that can win : Zion Tatum Ja Murray and Mitchell
John Doe
Jaylen Brown is the one. Tatum is ain't better than him. This is a future MVP like Luka. Tatum is a Bradley Beal/Lillard/Kyrie/AD, they will get you nowhere as the first option but with a real Superstar they will bring you multiple Championship
Gary Helms
Zion just kicked their butts today.... 2-22-21. Zion, has that instinct to win you can't develop it you have to have it and he does. I bet Zion is around long after Jaylen. NO DISRESPECT INTENDED TO Jaylen is is outstanding but not better than Zion and time will prove.
Jordan Brooks
@Curtis Burdick blake didnt develop shooting intill his 4th year in the league. zion actually is a better shooter then him now just needs to take more shots
Curtis Burdick
Zion won't be around longer then Jaylen or Jaysin unless he loses 50 lbs and develops his shot which he isnt doing either smh he's the next Blake Griffin but worse Griffin was a better shooter then Zion at this age
T M
To me Tatum is excellent, buttery smooth an incredible player. Truly elite, and he is better than Zion right now, and he well could develop into the nba’s best player. But Zion right now at 20yrs old is already the most dominant scorer in the paint. Tatum isn’t the best at anything in the nba. I just think people are missing it with Zion, he has the physical tools to be a plus defender, combine that with his efficient volume scoring, and he’d be an mvp candidate and top 5 player.
GS400
I would take Zion.
Mars Mallows
zion is only 20 years old, imagine when he reach 22(tatum age right now), thats scary
Ah
@King Grime he didn’t exactly lead. It was a team effort. He was the best but he didn’t lead them
King Grime
Tatum lead his team to a efc at 20 stop it
Mockingjay
Yall hi if yall say tatum!!! Tatum good but he never can close out when really needed he flop in playoffs he another Paul George
Mockingjay
@CelticsNation closer? He is no closer and zion even younger what's your point clown
CelticsNation
First, learn how to form a sentence. Second, Tatum is only 22 but he is already clutch and a closer. Third, don’t comment on Tatum if you only watch 5 Celtics a season.
Ayyy
Bro Zion is more valuable we all know that
jose garcia
Charles Barkley =ZION EASY
Curtis Burdick
Thats Zions ceiling is 12 good years in the league and 4 mediocre years! Sounds bout right isnt that about what Blake Griffin has played too smh so much god given athletic talent wasted lmfao
Your Daddy
I’m taking Tatum everyday. Only one I’m taking over him is Luka.
Salih Baş
This didn't age well
Cloudlyfe Views&Vlogs
BI steady ballin on Tatum Brown and Simmons 😭
SmashKing17
Jaylen certainly has the most potential to be the greatest of them all
Justin Cady
If Zion got as many touches as Tatum, Zion would average 35
Curtis Burdick
Zion couldnt get that many touches he'd blow his knee out lmfao dudes nothing but the next Blake Griffin will be nothing in 7 to 10 years 😂
Jonathan Oka
As a celtics fan, I've NEVER seen a player as overrated as Jayson 2soft Tatum! A volume scorer, average shooter and defense is NOT as good as ppl claim. Jaylen Brown is a much better player, his offense diversity is superior to Tatum, actually attacks the rim and finishes and knows how to be efficient (yes I know his past 2games have been bad). Tatum avoids contact, that's why refs dont give him the calls bc they know hes soft AF. No team will ever win with this dude as their #1
Jonathan Oka
@Shelovestim _ never said this team was good.It's ok, theres room on the short bus. Btw Tatum wishes he was half of what beal is
Shelovestim _
Bro the Celtics r the wizards without Tatum lol ur sped af
Frankenviews *
Jayson is first because : elite 3 point shooting. It's key in the today's NBA and it's a skill that goes all the way into the late 30s.
Zion is next because, of his ability to go on long stretches without missing. Sure they're all assisted or drives to the basket but 2 points is 2 points. In the 4th, that could mean the difference between a win and a loss.
Brown is the best defender amongst them but his scoring is unreliable so that makes him the perfect Scottie to Tatum's Jordan. But Brown actually has the highest potential since if he continues improving on offense, he could be the next Kawhi.
ROAUL FLORENTINO III CLAR
hahaha funnyboston falls to pelicans hahaha
king zion James irving
Zion won the game y'all can have tatum 😩😩😩
Matthew Cortez
Ingram getting disrespected!
Cloudlyfe Views&Vlogs
@Him Sloan yup they been doin this since Ben Simmons and once people started pickin BI they stopped bringing up the topic !
Him Sloan
@Cloudlyfe Views&Vlogs you are smart man. Don't want to take the spotlight off of Zion. Wished he would've signed with another team past off season
Cloudlyfe Views&Vlogs
I startin to think on purpose too
SMD
Who in they right mind wouldn't pick Tatum over Zion ?????
Vishaal Venugopal
tatum's rate of improvement is abnormal......his playmaking has come such a long way....add to it he's playoff proven i can't choose zion over tatum to build a championship team.
Tu Big
0:16 more like R Kelly. But I know the 🎵 being referenced
jimmy j
ROSE IS ON DRUGS LOL
Jose Naveda
ngl THIS year JB has been the best
Dav Fella - 大卫 洛克菲勒的兄弟
i would take zion any day of the week
Ayush RAJ14
JT and JB ofcourse...
Boston Luxury having both of them Young Back Duo With no EGO
Ayush RAJ14
I still Go To JT no matter What even to Trae Nor Luka still i chose JT.
LouisLoother
Tatum is the most well rounded offensive player under 25...not even close 💯💯💯 Brown & Tatum will win a championship no question 💯💯💯 Best duo under 25!!!
Elias
What's up with half the league averaging 20+?
Isaiah H
Tatum is soooo overrated I been saying Brown has a higher ceiling
Shelovestim _
@Alex Escutia bro ig 26 7 and 5 on 45% from the fg and 39%from 3 is overrated 🤣🤣
Alex Escutia
@Isaiah H what bro?
Isaiah H
@Alex Escutia really skill do you see Tatum projecting to be top 5 in realistically
Alex Escutia
You trippin
Brandon Barrows
Jaylen’s lineup is crispy
Noy
Tatum brown and zion. Ingram is not a franchise player...
LitManTuck BookReviews
Give me Zion. I can find another Tatum any draft
Mike Cobb
@David Ola some people would prefer jalen brown over Tatum for example
David Ola
no you cant
Alan Castillo
Jajajajajaja a Tatum every draft you must be 12
Mike Cobb
I love that lol can’t find a zion
State Champ
Stop it bro
Michael Mccray
I'm taking Zion all day . I can count on him to put up the same numbers every night! Tatum is too inconsistent. Imagine zion w at least a lil mid range shot he can go to at any time .hes easily averaging 30 ! Hes showed that he can bully any& every center in the league w ease already
Jordan Brooks
@SedativeChicken i never seen andrew bynum dribble the ball or hit people with crossovers just stop the nonsense
SedativeChicken
All Zion does is charging players in the paint because he’s bigger than him. He’s just a somewhat better Andrew Bynum
dukeh8sunc
Y’all are sleeping on BI.
patrick santino
bi is a very good 2nd option, like kevin durant
ben1ben2ben1
@efua Because they FINALLY put the ball in Zions hands. He drew the defenders and and set BI up for a wide open three. BI is great, but he is definitely the side kick to Zion
nori
BI gets ZERO respect
efua
@Food TV he literally won this game for them. Shut up
Food TV
when BI shoot 50% then i will look at him. if i were to pick one to shoot at the end to win i pick zion over choke BI
GunR
tatum is just better....look at his IQ and his game....tf
Ralph 24
Ingram stay under appreciated
Jon Brodes
BI gets zero respect.he closed the game! liked Shaq's comp of bi to his former teammate in penny I think he spot on!
BigHomie ET
Y’all must’ve forgot Zion ain’t even played a full season yet lol he will be the best by far barring injuries

christiandeshun.
Who’s here after Zion bullied the Celtics? 😅
Norel Geonzon
@christiandeshun. k lol
Antoney don
@Amr Del so its his fault messin up at 24 point lead on the pels?
Amr Del
it was STEVENS non coaching givin away the game else celtics are far superior and TATUM better than ZION
Carlton Banks
@David Ola Tatum got outplayed by Brandon Ingram and he better than Zion?
David Ola
@Antoney don no one can defend Zeon but Tatum is still better
Maurice Wells
Don't think there's a wrong answer on this one
Ano nimo
Tatum is taking 20-25 shots per game
Zion is only taking 12-16 shots per game at most
See the difference
CelticsNation
@Ano nimo First, why are you assuming I’m a die hard Celtics fan? You know what they say when you assume. Second, you’re saying I can’t face the facts when you haven’t stated any clown. Lastly, you’re telling me nobody can guard Zion (who is worse then Giannis) but they can guard Giannis. When it’s all said and done Tatum will be the better overall player. This conversation is over you’re delusional and closed minded. I still don’t understand why you compared Tatum’s shot attempts to Zion’s. Good riddance.
Ano nimo
@CelticsNation and why does out conversation went to giannis you diehardfan who cant face facts lol
Ano nimo
@CelticsNation lol giannis was defended well that time, I doubt there's someone that can guard zion right now.
CelticsNation
@Ano nimo I guess you didn’t see what happened to Giannis two years in a row in the playoffs. That will happen to Zion if he continues to score only in the paint.
Ano nimo
@CelticsNation lol, so you're saying that scoring all around at 45% shooting with lot of shots taken is better than scoring only on the paint with 60-70% shooting with way less shots ? 😂😂😂 then you're way more of an !d1ot than I am 😂😂😂
1964corvan
WELL THIS DIDNT AGE WELL NOW DID IT!
Fly Eagles Fly!
@Forever Finesse I agree...one game means nothing
sum light sum slight sum on discreet
@Adam Uchiha same
Adam Uchiha
I would take Zion before and after the game. Dude is special and I see him having a nice lil jumper eventually. All I need to see him do is continue to improve defensively because he’s shown flashes and has all the tools
Forever Finesse
How does one game make this not age well ?
Alkebulan Is Home
Taking Zion all day they just won dude is clutch in the post boding 6ft9 250lbs dude like nothing it helps he 6 6 and 290 low center of gravity. Dude all you need is shooter around and Ingram in the clutch trade Bledsoe and some other dudes like Melli who hot trash. Zion the future
GOAT
The 285 pound question is can Zion stay healthy throughout his career? Honestly, he might look fat but I'm seeing Bo Jackson level athleticism. Never seen a 285 pound dude with a 45 inch vertical.
Isaac okocha
@Curtis Burdick he doesn’t dunk like griffin or put his knees or body in harm ways
Sung Lee
He is built different!
Curtis Burdick
all you gotta do is look at Blake Griffin to answer that lmfao dude will have half the career length of the Blake Griffin has had
Ah
@Yuqian Liu football is 😂. Just straight bursts into guys just as big as you. Even the QBs are big. Lamar Jackson is “only” 6’2 but he weighs 215 pounds. He doesn’t look big cause everyone else is. But if you saw him in real life you’d think he’s a monster 😂
Yuqian Liu
@Ah Facts. That’s because basketball is more aerobic and mixed with some anaerobic stuffs. Cardio plays a big role in sports like basketball and soccer. I only watch football for a year and I think this sport is only anaerobic. That’s probably why it seems football players are in weight room all day and night 🤣.
