For now he can manage it. He’s an athletic freak. That weight over the course of a season over many seasons thats a recipe for disaster. If anyone has seen him live and playing he’s a monster to watch for sure. You just don’t see that power and frame and athletic ability very often Cousins just got weight. Lebron had to Kobe did. Michael Jordan did They had to to extend their career.
Zion looking thicc
- Thread starter WitnessGreatness
- Start date
The weight gain started under Coach K, nba ready ya say Bilas?
Cal gets his players buffed and ripped as they develop!

I don't claim to be the best at Photoshop, but someone had to do it! :joy:
One day he may get hurt and come back and look like Charles Barkley does now.
I hear they can just cut that stuff off now. He will come out half the man he was...when needed...
I laugh so much when I see Owners and GM's fall for the espn hype on a recruit. How in the HECK was ZIon the top recruit over the long haul or even the short haul. I guess they will make a quick buck for a year or maybe two but that will be about it. I'd rather have Wiggins after that. jmusao (I am very uneducated about basketball strategy but this does not even pass the smell test.)
I am offended by the insensitivity toward people with eating disorders. Fat People Matter!
We're protesting at KFC noon tomorrow.

The best part is hes going to be out ANOTHER chunk of time with this injury.. so hes going to gain weight again. The only way he stays in this game is by playing it. When basketball players don't play, they get fat, just like Eddy Curry back in the 2000's with his own injuries.
I'm really starting to think that we'll never see Zion's potential. He'll gain weight, get injured because of it, and then gain more weight.

The man is in Fat City heaven. You gain weight in New Orleans by just walking down Bourbon St.
Said it last year and I'll say it again - he's playing the wrong sport.
Yes he's really good at basketball. But it's mainly athleticism. He could've been an other worldly DE on the football field. Seeing how easy he gains weight just confirms that even more. He could've been an explosive nightmare at probably 320+

And could have stayed home and played on a national championship team at Clemson.
Well yeah, but if he gets booted from the NBA tomorrow, he's still set for life.
What he does with his millions is a completely different thing.
Most of these great players want more that just money, they want to be great and they want to leave their mark.
I don't know Zion, maybe he wants to he one of those guys, or, maybe he doesn't care.
Either way, he never has to worry about money and he never has to punch a clock for a living.
You don’t think he’s still working out? I guarantee he is. He’s sitting because he doesn’t need to play summer league.
Speaking for myself, I'm svelt....(In my opinion)
Man, you do not understand what fat people are capable of...some can do this...
AND you know there will be a new clothing line of ZionWare...(Let him use it and I will file suit!!!!)
There will be parachute clothing involved...
Sorry left out lost weight. All the great players to extend their career had to drop weight.

Video of Seth Greenberg on Get Up this morning included with the link. ESPN will surely suspend him for besmirching Zion. Nice knowing you Seth.

The comments on this Twitter thread are gold.
They've invented a dessert for turducken. Turducken is the cajun dish of a roasted chicken, inside of a roasted duck, inside of a roasted turkey. The dessert is a pie, baked into a cake. I am not making this up.
Pandemonium ensues at ESPN over who gets to feed him.
Have been saying this since Christmas.
His is the only player that have watched, gain weight (bad weight) during a sporting season.
Even #22 (God rest his soul) didn’t gain weight during the season.
He needs to take the rest of the summer and get back into playing shape. This won’t bode well with pelicans fans that are still pissed about Davis. If I were him, I would go on a super strict diet and work our everyday to try and get under his playing weight at puke. Especially if I was making the kind of money he is. You can’t take off any time you have to be in great shape which he obviously is not. From a basketball fans perspective, it’s a shame because he is exciting to watch even though he’s a puke. If he’s not willing to put in the work, guys like Greg oden and Anthony Bennett will celebrate this. If I were him, I would do whatever it takes to look like Tom hanks in castaway. It’s got to be hard on his knees as well. This could set the pelicans back even further. Lebron is probably in tears right now since he is in love with Zion. I would also like to know if there is some type of weight clause in his contract. He’s definitely not the same player as he was at puke and if he doesn’t change, he will find himself in the gleague or overseas after his first contract

And passed away at the young age of 52 after having a stroke. We fat people can do a lot I agree but we are playing with fire.
