I don’t exactly remember how big hype was when Zion was drafted in 2019. I think he was depicted as the combination of Lebron and Barkley at that time. Did Zion get more hype than Wemby before entering the league?

    Some of you don’t understand nuance. It’s different types. Zion had more public eyes due to being a dunk highlight reel on American soil. Wemby’s hype is so much more intense and all-encompassing from a anyone remotely interested in the league standpoint. You could reasonably interpret it either way.

        You must think European culture and basketball means nothing. Even with all the points you made, I still consider Wemby to be more hyped.

        You’re just nitpicking semantics. hype, buzz, whatever dude. Might as well say you’re talking popularity.

        Zion was more popular sure but people were saying Wemby is 7’5” who can potentially shoot like Curry and surpass Jordan, that blows Zion out the water man for sure. If that doesn’t get you HYPED something’s wrong with you
