When i hear about Zion i always think of the football player Ronaldo (the older brazilian one, not Christiano). He was a worldclass striker but in his later years he gained weight and was very injury prone. People used to make fun of him but after he ended his career he came out and said that he was diagnosed with Hypothryreosis, a metabolic disease, while playing for AC Milan and that this disease was the reason he gained weight despite eating clean and working out.
Another case is Mario Götze. When he came back to Dortmund in 2016 he was always injured, visibly gained weight and he said that he always felt tired and exhausted. He was diagnosed with Myopathy in 2017 and it took him nearly a year to come back from it.
it could be.....
as far as we know and the world knows, he eats too freaking much relative to his expenditure
Ronaldo the brazilian and Götze were "on shape" during most of their career, early-mid 20s, ( injuries not considered) If I remember correctly. Zion has always been a "buona forchetta"
True, Ronaldo was always in shape but Götze was 24 years old and i don't know if metabolic diseases are age-related. Obviously Zion is built differently but I just can't wrap my head around the idea that he was fit and in shape during high-school and college and the moment he enters the NBA with better nutrition, better training and much more games on higher intensity he gets fat and out of shape. He either is sick or injured in some kind of way, or he doesn't give a **** now that he made it.
