Zion always has that look with his eyebrows when he is faking caring.

I'm not a photography guru, so I don't know the terminology or what to point to, but to me, this photo is 100% a bit edited/wonky. Not sure if it's on purpose or accident, but this is one of the weirdest looking photos I've ever seen. I don't think we can draw any conclusions whatsoever from this. We've seen Dumars quite a bit this summer and he randomly looks like a version of Peyton Manning in this pic.



Unless Joe lost weight since yesterday also, that picture has some fish eye effect going on. Probably zoomed out on an iPhone.

Call me crazy, but Zion's weight hasn't been a big issue for quite some time. He hasn't come in excessively overweight in quite a few years. The dude is just injury prone. Doesn't matter if he's in shape or not.

Zion has literally came in to camp every single season overweight. Hence the reason why his contract became unguaranteed. This might be his first offseason that he could finally be in shape coming into camp.

Zion's contract became unguaranteed due to the number of games he missed last season, it had nothing to do with his weight. He met the agreed upon weight in his contract, beat it even. He's come in in fine shape the last several years. But like I said, he's injury prone regardless.

He missed his weight benchmark during the 23 season for sure.

I don't necessarily think that's true either, but the weight benchmark is ridiculously high to begin with

Zion has been in the NBA for 6 seasons
This is his 7th coming up


If you actually take his games played then he is just under (3) total seasons. Which is crazy if you think about it. Not because he's missed a bunch of time but because he really only has 3 years of nba game experience spread across 6 seasons. If he actually gets healthy for 2-3 seasons where he can develop his game and get more comfortable then he would probably be ridiculous.

I'm just going to say this one thing about this. Zion is not secure in his body or self image. I have never seen a professional athlete so afraid to have pictures taken in athletic wear. Most athletes strut around shirtless during training. I don't blame them. If I had a six pack, I'd barely ever wear a shirt. But he is constantly in hoodies and long sleeves. He plays in Louisiana. In New Orleans. It's hot.

Obviously he's not happy with how he looks. I just pick up on that projection. I wish he could resolve this and build a physique he could be proud of. It really shouldn't be that hard..

Even at 300 pounds he was always still dominant.


He put up empty stats. The team struggles to hit .500 when he plays.

As one of his biggest fans, im probably out the door if he misses 30+ games next season. I'll finally let my fandom die. Maybe lol.

If Z plays less than 50 games this year he will be traded IMO. We set our team up for this exact scenario. But we also set ourselves up to be competitive. Its a win-win. Either we are healthy and playing well or not healthy and rebuilding.

I just do not see a scenario where we are both healthy and not playing well. That is really the only "worst case scenario" and I just can't see it.

Well just last week Zion was in a suite smoking joints with a dozen or so females and drinking more liquor than a damn liquor store.

Some of you have the bar set so incredibly low on Zion lol

"Zion's being an unprofessional piece of shite.*

"Well, at least he's being one in New Orleans."

Lol
