"Have you ever seen a seven-footer shoot a three-pointer like Curry?"
——LeBron James
"When he was dribbling, I thought I was guarding a guard. Then I looked up and this guy was half a head taller than me."
——Stephen Curry
"The 42nd pick, late in the second round. Now the whole league is paying to skip him."
——General manager of a certain team, anonymous
"His passes always arrive 1.5 Seconds earlier. It's not that he passes the ball early, it's that he sees the open space that we haven't run out of yet."
—— Steve Kerr
"The first time I played him, I thought he was just a Chinese big man who could dribble. The third time... He was the most difficult opponent I have ever faced. No one."
——Victor Vunbanyama, after Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals
"After three consecutive championships, he bought the team, brought four young people from China that no one had heard of, and said he would use them to win the championship. Everyone was laughing."
——ESPN, 2031
"No one laughs anymore."
——ESPN, 2034
He is not the next Yao Ming, nor the next Jokic. He is Chen Zeyu. Second round pick, No. 42 Overall. All three-pointers while dribbling.

It's a conspiracy, who is Chen Mo?
Can you discern what happens 4 seconds later on the basketball court? Are you a prophet?
