re: Zion close to 300 pounds

Could he lose 20 lbs? Sure. But he doesn't NEED to. He's not even fat by NBA standrds again what % body fat is that 15% at the most. Maybe 15%. Lebron looks about at 12% or so. So what? If Zion were to lose 20 lbs of pure body fat he would look way more shreaded than lebron does in that photo. The difference between them in body fat% already seems extremly minimal.

He doesn't NEED to do anything, but in terms of what's most beneficial for his career, playing lighter is the best road.

No disrespect, but I doubt you've tried to cut fat if you think you can lose pure fat or if you think Zion is particularly close to LeBron in those pics.

If Zion's 285 there, he'd be about as cut as LeBron at 265 or so. You lose muscle with fat and he has at least 15 pounds of fat on LeBron. You can't see any of his lower abs or oblique separation.

And that's really the point. Ideally, he would take care of his body like LeBron (who has always been good at that) and carry a weight that will maximize his career potential like LeBron has.
