From watching that video, Duke Zion incoming

I do have to say, is it just me or is he not getting the type of lift he had pre-injury?

That was definitely a half arse jump, he wasn't trying to put forth maximum effort there

That’s true but also a little exaggerated.

People say then then post a clip of him on a break away and compare it to like a 2 step dunk.

Remember some doctor on the board said Zion would lose 5-10 percent athleticism from the meniscus injury. And he’s gained weight and broken a foot since then.

Both things that impact vertical lift.

Continuing to drop weight and get further away from injury will replenish his vertical pop though.

Might buy a pair of those Voodoo's just to stash in the collection. Bought a pair of the 1's and never wore them.

He's not. Not close.

Yeah, he's been noticeably below the rim in most of these "I'm healed" dunks. But a bone injury like that shouldn't rob him of any lift. I'd expect he's either keeping it low on purpose for safety reasons, or he's got reinjury fear in his head holding him back, which is pretty common. Either way I'd expect this to be a short term issue.

We’ve seen videos of him do post workout dunks, dunks at his camp for children without warming up, and a half speed dunk in a commercial. No one knows what his actual lift even looks like right now

You didn’t even post a pic of the shoe.

An exclusive look at the Zion 2’s:

I remember in a local pelicans interview he was asked something about going at a player at the rim. He responded normally he could use his 45 inch vertical but that his vertical had become more like in the 30-something range.

I couldn't find any reference to that interview on the internet, but I definitely remember it. Anyone else remember more of exactly what he said? It might have been an on-court postgame interview, maybe Jen Hale.

Jesus

Fully adult body, 22 year old Zion looks as good as one could hope

You can't expect 18 year old body Zion anymore

Edit: I'm now thinking they're just illustrations
