i forgot you're very anal about the definition of the word fat :lol:

Let me rephrase. He's currently not at a bad weight? Happy?


Has he lost 50 pounds? He's absolutely at an unhealthy body weight. And heavy guys, even lean ones with foot issues have serious concerns. The fact he's carrying a spare tire isn't helpful at all.


He’s not fat. He’s fine. You realize some of us live in NOLA and actually see him in person right? And aren’t just keyboard warriors saying lol fat.

Also, check his Insta. Lol.

Of course being able to dunk like that doesn't mean a player is ready to play in an NBA game...but this is still a bad look.

He's lost weight but he's literally never losing 50 pounds (or should ever). Unless he was ever upwards of 320 which i doubt. You can keep regurgitating this tired take but it doesn't hold water. 265 - 280 will always be his playing weight


He was 285 at Duke. He’s the second heaviest player in the league after Boban and Boban has 9 inches on him. If he wants a long career, he needs to get down to at least 250 or so. That’s approximately Lebron’s weight and Lebron is also taller.

It's a padded court. Softer landings, but also makes it more difficult to jump high.

Aint **** happenin for his career in New Orleans, of course hes basically tanking it like Ben Simmons until he gets moved to a larger market. Only then could I see him actually motivated to become a top tier NBA player like he is capable of.

You know how a lot of people bring up the biggest reason LBJ is good is because he won the genetic lottery? No. You want to know what LBJ looks like with sub-par work ethic and a nonchalant attitude about the game...he would be Zion.

He's lost weight but he's literally never losing 50 pounds (or should ever). Unless he was ever upwards of 320 which i doubt. You can keep regurgitating this tired take but it doesn't hold water. 265 - 280 will always be his playing weight


He was 285 at Duke. He’s the second heaviest player in the league after Boban and Boban has 9 inches on him. If he wants a long career, he needs to get down to at least 250 or so. That’s approximately Lebron’s weight and Lebron is also taller.


Lebron isn't 250 lol. Zio is going to be a heavy dude, but did you see that video posted above? That guy needs to drop 20 pounds of fat!

He's clearly fat in that video....you can be athletic and be fat. The problem is he's in the wrong sport to have a long career with 20 extra pounds in your waist alone!

He was listed at 285 at Duke, but weighed in at 271.

This is an open secret. Because Zion's told us. And is acting on it. Don Harris is just more blunt than some:

Bad look in what way? He looks great. People were just saying he's 350 pounds, and he doesn't even jiggle when jumping with his shirt off. None of you on this forum can say that except the 125 pounders. :lol:
