    Obama paid a ton of money to not watch Zion. I hope he comes back.

    EDIT: Welp, Zion is not coming back.. gone in 33 seconds. I'm no longer interested in this game.

    Knee will not return -- can you imagine if defective shoe just ruined his career.

    I think it's more precaution to keep him out of the game. I think if it was more serious his dad would have stayed in the locker Room with him.

    Can you imagine how many 12 year olds that are being hunted down and beaten in China tonight?

    He's probably wearing shoes in that picture. He's 6'4 and 3 quarters.

    Let's see how the Nike hype machine spins this one. A defective shoe is a defective shoe, but if this ends up being a fairly serious injury it has to cause considerable damage to the Nike brand...then again they did manage to make everyone forget Kobe raped a girl and sold a bunch of Kobe's signature shoes afterwards so maybe this isn't so bad for them.

    He should shut it down completely and hire an agent pronto. Get a second opinion for this injury as well and prepare for the draft.

    I am not opposed to the NBA using one year of college, to evaluate HS prospects however at the very least these players should be paid.

    He lasts a minute. Wow. Who is number two on NC? When you wear your hair that goofy you better be good. He's not. He has turned the ball over multiple times, and every shot I saw him take, he missed.

    That’s a brutal tear I guarantee. Damn.

    Watch the Stephen Tulloch tear with an aggressive stamp. Clowney with a stamp and the turf giving way. I know it personally. That dude tore his knee. Terrible terrible.

    Hoping he is not Fultz 2.0... need to prove he is healthy.

    I don't think Fultz injury is physical. Maybe he was injured for a little bit. No upside for zion to play.

    Jeebus. I have watched basketball a long-ass time, and I don't think I've ever seen a shoe come apart like that, leading to an injury.

    Feel really badly for Zion. I think he was overhyped a bit, but damn. Nobody deserves a random injury b/c their shoe was screwed up... or at least nobody playing after 1955 or so.

    I'm always going to believe tonight was sabotage, because it's difficult to disprove and I like to believe in those kinds of conspiracies. Some equipment manager is off to a foreign country with a boatload of cash by now.
