I’m rooting for this guy but man does it seem like he needs better people around him
Agreed. From what the article says it seems like this loan was taken urgently to help pay for real estate that him and his mom/stepfather had bought before a sponsorship of his fell through due to his injuries.
I can’t imagine what it’s like to grow up with little money, and then suddenly hit big. I imagine everyone around him is trying to manipulate him and cash in somehow. People in his position need a fantastic support system and a good amount of luck. Seems like he has neither. And now he’s involved in multiple lawsuits at only 23 years old.
Dude needs a mentor like LeBron or Wade. Someone who can guide him through how to support his loved ones without being taken advantage of, how to set himself up for long term financial success, how to keep his body healthy.
I really hope the best for him. He’s such an exciting player to watch when he’s on the floor.
It’s sad how he went from being a “generational talent” to a punchline.
Oh man it’s sad what’s happening to Zion. I hope he gets the guidance he needs.
Starting to get Shawn Kemp level of decision making from this guy
Good comp
It’s funny the source here is nba.com
