Maybe this photoshopped pic will soon become a reality? :lol:

Zion weighing 330 is an astoundingly bad sign. He’s 50+ lbs overweight and I’m extremely doubtful he’d be able to get go a proper weight this year. Yikes.

Kinda makes sense, when they said Zion was "north of 300" didn't think "north" would mean 2 lbs, it had to be at least 15-20

NBA should start doing live weigh ins at the beginning of the season, like in the UFC.

Seems accurate. Both are beyond lazy when it comes to diet and fitness.

I'm starting to think there's some truth to the accusation that Zion is purposefully eating his way out of New Orleans.

This is a deeply sad story. Zion needs to get the help he needs and get the hell out of NO

What was James Harden's weight? Has to be 250

Luka has so much more potential. I don’t get him and this pathetic laziness. Where’s the drive to be at the very top?

Zion I’ll give a little bit more break. His ceiling is very high too. I hope he’s learning to take his weight serious throughout this injury.

I don't think Lukas weight sounds that unrealistic. Especially if you compare him to his Madrid days, where he way listed as 225-230 in his last year.

In Luka's case I don't get what the big deal about playing your way into shape throughout the season is. It's better to be peaking when the playoffs start anyway.

Hire Rogan to announce the player weights too.

Honestly they should’ve rigged draft to another city. Cant bring a big boy to Nawlins. **** I would gain 50 lbs to

The sad part is I dont think either weight is unrealistic where I wouldnt believe this report. Luka is a legit 6'8 and is a big boy even when he is at ideal playing weight. So not all that hard to believe when he comes in out of shape he is pushing 260.

Then when it comes to Zion, him at peak shape at Duke was 270 pounds.

Watch on YouTube

To get a better view of what he looked like at 270 pounds, go to 1:53 in the video for his post game interview. That is what Zion looked like at 270 pounds. Jaw line, shoulder definition, definition in his arms, how the jersey fits him and just overall body shape. Compare that to what he looked like in the Mountain Dew commercial, there was a hell of a lot more weight on him there and not good weight. So ya wouldnt be shocked if he was pushing 330 this summer.

Both guys need to take getting in shape far more serious. Luka seems to be going the Jokic route where they're using the season to get into shape and luckily they haven't really been effected injury wise from that. But just look at the difference getting in shape and staying in shape has done for Jokic. It took his game to the next level, same most likely happens with Luka.

Zion on the other hand, the extra weight has done more than just effect his level of play. It has been preventing him from playing. That is a whole other level of red flags.
