You take comments with a grain of salt. Everyone has an opinion.

Hes also (outside of maybe LeBron) the most in shape, NBA player of all time.

He, in the 80s/90s, was in better year round conditioning than Zion is in 2021. Think about all the science and technology we have.

Karl Malone is a lot of things, but first among those is qualified to make these comments.

At age 36, he started all 82 games of the season. How many 36-year-olds do that now? At age 39, he started 81 games.

Nobody should be averaging 40 minutes per game.

At 22 years old, Malone averaged 30 mpg.

Karl Malone doesn’t have the right to pass judgement on anyone about anything tbh. I don’t care how good of a basketball player or how in shape he was. That didn’t stop him from ultimately being a trash human being. Zion is averaging 33 or 34 minutes a game these days. That’s pretty standard minutes for a starter in today’s day and age. Karl’s got balls for bringing up anyone’s age as a talking point for what someone should or should not be able to do at any given age.

Karl Malone: Zion Williamson 'has to get his weight under control.' Malone and Big Baby are correct. Malone is what he is but he's right about this. Not necessarily the minutes but his weight' it will take it's toll and Davis is correct on his weight limiting his potential.

Not a big shocker that Karl doesn't know the correct age of someone under 21.

Ooooweee the comments on the net are spicy on this.
My favorite so far:

He could do this because he played below the rim...






And the age of consent.

Exactly, this is not the mid-80s where players were not asked to run up and down the court as much as they are today. No one averages 40 a game.

Lebron did so 4 times when he was younger and the only other active player who's done that is Andre Iguodala
