Popped up in Vegas on Gil’s Arena on YouTube. Check it out, they’re talking about weight.

Never mind they did end up going sort of soft on him. Funny before Zion sat down at the mic it looked like maybe a PR person whispered something in his ear.

Well he basically admitted to his shitty diet. Then he basically downplayed the need to lose weight. Now he wants to focus on stretching and flexibility.

Don't expect him to lose drastic weight. Sounds like he's fine with this past season's playing weight.

Definitely a PR move but I'm happy he finally gets in front of camera/mic.

I like Xavier Tillman. He just seems like a cool guy. He looks like he's in his 30s, but he's only 24..

For sure, I saw that too. Likely PR told him to stick to the script. Dont know about just stretching, I’d still like to see him at 265, just too much torque with his play style.

Admitted to having bad eating habits at home. Says some of it is related to having all this money now, some of it is that he feels invincible.

After talking to the "older guys," he knows he's on the wrong path and needs to clean it up. Lot of things he could have done better, but didn't. In the process of fixing those wrongs.

Asked about diet, said he works more on flexibility and band work compared to dieting hard and losing weight.

"LeBron has the blueprint, so I best follow it."

Being on the sideline hurts him more than anything.

It sounds good and all but it makes sense for Lebron since he's chiseled, doesn't have weight issues, and is in top shape year in and year out.

Zion said that to dodge the weight question.

Zion needs to learn how to fricking shoot… that’s why we have an elite shooting coach, right?
