Not as fundamentally sound, but more athletic

The Isolated Male He Brought Conference Championship to New York City , World Cup champion and ncaa champion. My #2 after Patric Ewing

Larry Johnson was more complete. mid range jumper was smoother. Zion is young, he will learn.

I’m sorry but I was a kid while Larry Johnson was coming up and while he was a blue chip player and All Star level talent, Zion is in another world as an athlete, and might have already surpassed him in terms of the finer points in his game too. The game is a lot different now.

@@forw4rdp422 Zion has none of Larry Johnson accolades. He didn’t win a national championship. He wasn’t rookie of the year, hell he’s never averaged 20-10, never been to the playoffs……….let him do something before he’s instantly put above a proven player. Bro, can’t even stay in shape and he’s 21?!

zion is more athletic than larry johnson

@@dontropical6405 dont be ridicilous!!!

@@SimbaLabrador he is tho

Horace Grant Zion is more athletic

Johnson + Wilkins = Zion

hands down the greatest era of ball

Class of 90’ Kaua’i High!! I had it better 🫠 I kid

Me too bro, me too

Lol. LJ was never underrated.

I think you’re getting mixed up he wasn’t a monster the monster was those people who stole his powers

I didn’t know that, Dope

@@kingchino6179 Right there with you.

😮😮😮I ain’t know that. grand ma ma was a fuckin beast

Didn't see those skills when he fought Alonzo Mourning haha.

@@darrellwilson1419 zo was fighting scared as hell...lol

Eh, I absolutely idolized Larry growing up. I ditched the Hornets for the Knicks when he was traded even. Watching this video is bringing back SO many memories!...But, Already, Zion is a better player lol.

@@matthoward598 hard to say that yet. Zion got more hype. Larry was crazy good his rookie year. Better rebounder, passer, shooter, handle and post up game than Zion, just not the three which is a product of his era. And although Zion is a bit higher and longer jumper than LJ, his quickness and especially his first step isn't the same speed as LJ nor is his wingspan as long.

Vitor Hara come on even Zion himself. Paid respect to Larry. Larry Can Get The Ring If He Wasn’t Injury on his back. He is world champion with dream team

@@junit7590 Zion is quicker and way more twitchy with the first step 🤦🏾‍♂️... C'mon son.

I've always wanted one

Pure 80s baby pure 80s the gold tooth I'm talking about

I wouldn't be surprised if he had 4 finger rings also

@@jaywebb3967 he was born in the 70s

Zion is grand ma ma's son

uncle zion

Zion is zion

Agreed. I said that 2 months ago

Damn that's good comparison

Can't forget the haircut

Your an idiot.

that's grand mama

Ithought this when I first saw Zion... LJ reincarnated!!!

IWinslogswimp I agree. Him or Barkley

@MrBrenman21 Larry Johnson's nickname. He was in a Converse commercial where he dressed up as an old lady.

@@the0dorez3b94 and? LJ is 6'7. They were both well undersized for playing at the 4, yet they both dominated.

Agreed.

zislec Understood! U have great taste👍🏾. I miss this type of ball. There were so many dope matchups on any given night. Smh

Coop Davyl ... yup I miss these days too 💯 😌👍

Oh I love Larry johnson I have his jersey and I want his shoes so bad

Jalon Mayes I have his retro second pair in the og and black/grey colorways. I want the first pair he had but no retro yet. His second pair dropped before the Jordan VIII and there were talks that Jordan “borrowed” aesthetics from LJ’s shoe. But, now that I think about it, both shoes “borrowed” from the Nike Air Raid🤔...

I still remember the junkyard dog Glenn Robinson growing up. One of the meanest pure hoopers of that early to mid 90s era. He was a walking bucket. I used to follow his box scores in the newspaper and highlights and games on ESPN. My how times and technology has changed.

Maaaaan Corliss was a problem in college! Unstoppable

Watch some David Robinson footage...

He's my all time favorite player as well! I remember as a kid playing nba games on super Nintendo and I would only use the hornets because of LJ!

@@MrScott-bs7iv yes, since Larry Johnson my favorite basketball position is powerforward. #2 LJ🏀

@@Edwin-273 I always wore #2 in basketball because of him and now my daughter wears #2 on her highschool team

I often wish we could turn back time and get some of the 90’s Hornets to help out the team today

@@itmejac6945 Bugs, Gill, Curry, Johnson , Mourning and the rest of the 90s team🏀

Dwane Richardson He Brought Conference Championship to New York City , World Cup champion and ncaa champion. My #2 after Patric Ewing

His prime got curtailed to injury more than Penny's, and Penny's #2 in that department from the 90s.

I'm 34 as kid I used to love going to the games with my dad, the hive was so alive!

@@eastsideqc Yes, those were some good times!

He & Barkley both were.

LJ always seems to catch Vlade with the poster. He had a vicious dunk on him when the Knicks played the Hornets in the 1st round of the '97 playoffs

Jack Goodwin Zion?

@@illblahzayill2274 he was rookie of the year. Shaq came the next year which stopped Alonzo mourning getting it

First 2 years in the league he was almost unstoppable then the back injury in late 93' he was never the same. Smh

Kemba is Charlotte’s goat and it’s not close

Jac ck Kemba? Wtf r u talking about? Not even close he hasn’t got them to the playoffs hardly at all ... this guy led them to the best run they’ve ever had 22 points 11 rebounds n glen rice was a better player than Kemba u just don’t know your basketball

Jac ck a guy that shoots 41 percent for his career is not a goat of anything!! Wake up even in the era of inflated stats he’s not better than Larry Johnson or zo or rice .. glen rice dropping 27 a game in 96 was the best single season for a hornets player n Kemba is little Larry Johnson 21 pt 11 rebounds zo 22 and 11 n Kemba has 25 3 n 5 in a. On defensive era shooting 41 percent for a career in his prime btw by the time he retires his stats will b worse!! 19 pt 3 n 5 right now n by the time he retires it won’t b at those numbers.. u r Tripping because u never saw these other guys play n baron davis ever heard of him?

mansonlamps damn you’re offended as hell. I love all the 90’s Hornets guys but no Hornet has been more skilled than Kemba. You gotta take loyalty to a franchise into the picture too.

Jac ck more skilled? Uh glen rice far better shooter n Kemba shoots 41 percent! That’s awful n Larry avg around same points in Charlotte n shot better from field was a far better defender n rebounder more efficient scorer .. so ? Where’s your skill? He dribbles fancier? U couldn’t get by with that shit in 90s with a hand on your hip dummy! What skill he have that’s better? Glen rice a much better 3 pt shooter and scorer in Charlotte n more efficient scorer better defender n rebounder!! Soooo? U young uns think because u didn’t see people they were no good! People won’t even remember Kemba 20 years from now

I think Christian Laettner played college basketball also

KG used to do that in Minnesota lol I loved it. That raw emotion for the game
