I’ve not only watched Duke for as long as many (not as a fan but as a temp fan hating) I’ve had a couple teammates go there, AAU teammate who is currently on the staff and played against some when I played overseas and in summer league in northcarolina at St Augustine and NC central and still friends with some so if we are being technical I’d know a tad more than most who only watch the players on TV

You're definitely the smartest poster I know of on this board.

Oh no no, don't start in with your "facts". Best Duke dunker is very much dependant on ones fandom. You should just go and chime in on UK's best dunker.

It’s not a lie if YOU believe it.

Now now, I don't think Jak is lying... he has always been super consistent.

But I also don't need to hear a non-Duke fans input on a thread on a Duke forum asking Duke fans if Zion is the best Duke dunker, because I am a dick:)

Jakarii.
To be honest think you are a fraud. I don't believe a word you say. I don't even think you ever played organized basketball. I think you are full of bull manure. No proof at all that you are who you claim to be. You are a joke. OFC

The only thing going against Zion is there are no more Mournings, Sampsons to posterize. He will have to do his signature dunks against UNC or in the FF ala Hill and Grayson.
You're right, there are no more Mournings or Sampsons to posterize.

However, there is an awkward looking, unibrowed, pidgeon-toed, overachieving player right down the road who looks like he should be doing my taxes instead of playing basketball for Zion to dunk on.
I think that would be really cool for Zion to posterize him.

I'm just going to be straight. I can't stop watching that alley oop from Cam to Zion. I watch it throughout the day,every day, that **** is burned in my brain. I love Giminski but he is yammering about some old school **** and then that dude screams LOOK OUT! And then Zion brings the Fing thunder!

Jwill, if that's the image of the guy you would trust your taxes to then I've got an *** kicking bridge that connects Manhattan to Brooklyn and some beautiful swampland to sell you!

A very small sample on Zion, but he’s been the most pleasant player I’ve watched as a freshmen in quite a while.
His passion, energy, and play so far are beyond what I was expecting.

There’s times when you don’t want to be right, and there’s those times when you’re glad you’re wrong.

The infectious smile, too. My wife commented to me after the UK game how he always smiled....whether during interviews, on the bench or in the game. Since she pointed it out, I’ve noticed it, as well. He’s incredibly humble and just a great kid.

And he gets SO up for his teammates and for stuff that happens... he really has a great attitude.

How can you not notice and appreciate his smile and outgoing, unselfish attitude.

As far as the HS comp, yeah dunking on a smaller guy is no big deal, but being quicker than guys 100 lbs lighter than you is. Bo Jackson wasn't a freak because he could run over a corner back that weighed 50 lbs less than him. He was a freak because he could outrun that cornerback. First thing I noticed about Zion was that he was the quickest, most agile guy on the court.

I saw an interview with Zion where he said that when fans see him on campus or out in public somewhere he wants them to come up and speak to him. That was all I needed to hear to tell me that he’s a great kid.
