"Zion was 5 years old the 1st time LeBron had a top 2 MVP finish. They just went head-to-head in the marquee game of the week, in a year LeBron is going to have a top 2 MVP finish. Top 2 player in the world then, top 2 player in the world now. It's unprecedented." —@getnickwright pic.twitter.com/pYv8KViXCt

"By 2010, LeBron was undeniably the best player in the league. … If anyone is going to take the torch from LeBron this year it is not going to be Zion — who may one day have it. But it would be Giannis. Giannis to me is the only guy who could do it." — @getnickwright pic.twitter.com/ZFPdsrKRPJ
