Basically saying he is referring to himself not being in mvp Zion level shape yet physically or mentally.

It was a better comment. But, here is a novel idea:

Stay in shape year round. Before the season starts, get in spectacular shape.

Hes admitting to one of the symptoms of why this team is struggling. He knows he's not where he needs to be physically. And it's bullshite. We're gonna have to hope he plays 40 plus consecutive-ish games and then be ready to kill motherfrickers

You can have all the dieticians and personal chefs you want but you still can’t control what goes in his mouth. That’s on him to fix. It wouldn’t take much healthy eating to shed 20 lbs off his frame and he’d be such a better player. Right now he looks like he got stung by a hundred bees.

Didn't hear him mention anything specific about mental or physical shape in that clip. Did he say that somewhere else?

Wait wait wait... this can't be the case... I remember hearing Griff say that Zion is in the best shape of his career during the offseason??

Zion wasn't really talking about his weight. He's talking about the fact that he hasn't played competitive basketball in so long that the flow of the game is still coming back to him. His weight isn't causing him to shoot 59% on FT attempts this season, compared to 71% last season.

He's saying that he's out of sync.
