I'm so fricking sick of people making amateur claims of how someone should be losing weight. Zion is no longer out of shape. He just recovered from a broken foot and worked out at Nike for months. He will continue to work out. He does not need to drop 30-40 more pounds.
I agree he's not nearly as fat as they're acting, but he's not Duke Zion in terms of body and explosiveness.

That Suit isn’t even Tailored well if even tailored. Sorry Zion is comfortable in his skin and not a self conscious fatso like you

He just posted a video of Sharpe saying it. You didn't watch it? Don't care? Sharpe knows body types and training. He is a professional fitness model and trains with athletes in multiple sports including basketball. Both he and Skip know trainers on multiple teams and people that have met and worked with the Pelicans and Zion. They have knowledge. Where are you getting yours?
Hush, what does Shannon Sharpe know about fitness??
Clearly we should be listening to whatiknowsofar, as he is the superior authority on the topic.

Just as a goof, he should be wearing the shoe that ended his career... the one his whole leg went through.

I'm glad you said that. If Shannon is correct that he's over 300 in that shot and Shannon also said he needs to lose 25 lbs that puts him at 275ish. So your claim that he needs to be at 235 is wrong too.
Or are you disagreeing with a professional opinion?

Well for one, you don't have an eye for these things because it clearly is.
Also, the players straight up told us that Garrett Temple had them all measured and bought the suits for them just for the game.

I’m guessing this thread was dumped here?

I stopped listening when they said he walked with a limp when he landed … that’s how he has always walked.
They are so basic in their knowledge…. They just peddle crap, push their wanky narrative and don’t really know their subject matter

Idiot. We actually see Zion regularly. This is likely the lightest he’s been in a New Orleans uniform.
So shut the frick up. Beat it.

Yeah they literally just create talking points to troll fans to get responses on social media and forums.
Anyone who takes the side of either as making a point is a victim of lack of intelligence.

Possibly the dumbest person in all sports media. Gtfo

This dude is clearly here to troll and everyone is playing straight in to his hands

That is a tremendous gotcha question. I believe he is saying for him to be in playable shape. Zion has played around 280 before, so that's what he needs to get to that.
I believe that an optimal in shape Zion would be closer to 235. Yes. I'm not back down from that. It would take time to get to that. But I'd expect or hope he could come into next season closer to 250. If he can carry that well and keep his wind, then I'd be fine with him around that weight.
What I want in all basketball players is peak condition. They should be cut, vascular and able to run, jump all game. Fluid athletes. I have never see Zion close to that. He is a gifted athlete. But he is abusing that gift. I don't understand why this is controversial at all..

Can we all agree to just stop feeding this troll?
Let’s just ignore him from now on please.

He gets paid to spout bullshite that draw eyes to it.

They are actually extremely wrong. If you just watch the video of him in a suit and not in what seems like 2 layers of sweats youll see he lost a ton of weight.
I think he lost weight...and he's put some/much back.
He's fat. It may not be laziness. It may be just who he is. But, he's fat. And, he won't hold up as a result.
Honestly, I feel worse about Zion than I did 6 months ago. There is no solving this.

He’s gonna be a thick dude his whole career. Best case is slimmer thick.
Posted on 4/15/22 at 9:02 am to Fun Bunch
What's the ideal weight? 255-265?
That's what he was at for Duke right?

I think this is correct.
The goalposts need to be moved on Zion.
