"Zion Williamson looks like Shaq and I had a baby." - Charles Barkley

Zion Williamson has been one of the funnest players to compare history players too.

I'd probably even say that Shaq, Charles, Shawn Kemp & Dominique had a 4 sum where they all created a Baby together called Zion.

barkley was the only one considered overweight and was a good athlete

i think for their era, baby and traylor were considered "athletic" overweight fatties

It's always been Barkley...

I rooting for Zion to come back and get in shape and be a monster again sooner than later.

He doesn't have the quick lift (after surgery) as guys like Wilkins. Not the athlete of Kemp either imo. But more skilled.
Not a freak like Shaq, but very similar to a young Barkley if he was fatter.

Because I'm not versed in Euro Ball, I had to google who dafaq this was. Got damn that's a big boy

Zion's the furthest thing from Shaq IMO. It's gotta be Barkley or late career Kemp (Orlando)

Big Sofo was drafted by Clippers 34th overall in 2003 but only ever played NBA summer league. From rough memory he did pretty well getting inside buckets, but he was so out of shape they wouldn’t give him a roster spot.

Fun fact, ATL sent the rights to Sofo in exchange for Thabo in 2015

WTH is Dominique even doing in here? ridiculous comparison! Maybe Dominique after 5 years on the Maccas diet, or OLD Nique... :wavefinger:

He's closer to fat Vin Baker/Big Baby than Nique...

I mean, Barkley was a better athlete than Kemp, so that's a weird thing to say...

It's December now. Is there a timeline for his return yet?

Whoever voted Nique, please delete your account.

Who is Zion closest to in terms of body type/athleticism/play style.
