Player of the year

Zion was going to be player of the year last November. The ESPN and media had already decided.
They didn't get on the bandwagon after an impressive start by him, they searched the junkyards for the truck, cleaned and painted it, gassed it up and Voila...the player of the year bandwagon.
The other 3 (not including Barrett) were deserving but Rui or especially Brandon could have been there just as easily. Barrett was amazing because he is a teammate of Zion AND he plays for Duke.Not even a smile? What's your problem!

NIKE money and Zion’s mother getting targeted by Avanatti
interesting theory on UK board explaining absence in PK80
Cal was upset that Nike and Lebron were pushing the main recruits to Duke so that's why he politely bowed out of the PK80.NCAA has ignored this for years. It is public information (newspaper articles) about amount of $ Nike spent on Bagley's family a couple years ago. Some people point to this and think it is illegal or against NCAA regs. Sleazy, yes ... Illegal, no. There will not be any smoking guns pointing back at Duke because Nike was smart enough to at least create the appearance of "$ paid for services rendered."Last edited by Zagceo; 04-06-2019, 01:35 PM.

He was deserving.
That ACC tourney game against UNC was spectacular, one of the best college performances I have seen in a while, against a decent defensive team built to stop him.Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

Zion shoulda been #1 no doubt, but Clarke shoulda been #2 in my mind. Nobody was as impactful offense or defense as him besides Zion. Not even WinstonQualified for 26 Straight Big Dances
15 Straight Round of 32s
14 Sweet Sixteens (9 Straight)
6 Elite Eights
2017 AND 2021 FINAL FOUR
2 Winningest Players in college basketball history (Karnowski 137, Perkins 134)
2021 Undefeated Regular Season
The Best Point Guard to ever play the game: John Stockton, most assists, most steals.
