Zion has played around 280 before, so that's what he needs to get to that.


Most of us have agreed that he looks to be at his previous "in shape" playing weight or better. If that clip they showed was the only evidence we had then what Sharpe said would seem to make sense. But it's not the only evidence we have. Other pictures from the same day/next day show him looking much slimmer. The baggy sweatshirt threw off the carnie weight guessing.



Let's also talk about the less than explosive dunks. The video leak from a few weeks back was plenty explosive. What is more likely? That he just casually dunked the ball in shoot around for a game he wasn't playing in and we only saw 30% effort, or he has had a set back and the Pels are letting him continue to work out instead of shutting him down and/or having another surgery?

Again, Sharpe's analysis doesn't seem crazy based on the single video clip. But it falls apart when you take in all of the other evidence we have.

I don't believe I ever respond to you. If so, I will make every effort not to in the future.

You and your little group of sycophants trying to clique up the board and making it into your private clubhouse is getting tired. The casuals have seen all of this and how you try to run off new traffic and conversations. It's sad.

We need fresh talk and new blood. All this personal stuff is beneath you. I don't care if you don't like me or whatever, think I'm a troll. Down vote away. But I don't think you are an admin and you aren't the class monitor.

Zions health and fitness is a topic. A huge one. It's going to keep coming up. Be prepared..

Denial is pretending he weights over 300lbs.

8 minute video, that was basically the very first thing Shannon said, and I immediately turned it off. Conversation over, he's wrong and making shite up. And you're a sheep and took the bait.

At this point, he plays when he plays. Doesn't bother me. My thing is how great we played, yet Tim Legler is the only person that wants to talk about our actual play on the court. It's as if the producer's tell the talking heads that's they have to mention us because we had a great game and they all make a conscious decision to put a negative spin on the organization. Literally every opportunity that given. And if they can't find a negative spin they just act like the game never happened. Even when we traded for CJ, narrative was more about Dame losing his sidekick than it was about the Pels picking up an all star

I just don't get the logic. I sat on the side closest to the pels bench. I saw Zion during the game. He's not 300. Not even close.

Why should I trust the opinion of anonymous TD user shel311 over a hall of fame professional athlete who looks like he can still play if his 50s?

Like honestly, why should his opinion be discredited in favor of yours? Dont deflect either. I’m truly interested

He needs to buy some new clothes. That sweatshirt was not doing him any favors. He should get a shirt like this and see how the narrative changes.

Because it's lazy.

Because we've seen him in form fitting clothing. And he doesn't look like he's 300 at all.

Because he hasn't stepped on a scale for Shannon and Shannon knows no one in Zion or the Pels circle to know his weight.

His clothes are not flattering at all and it might be somewhat misleading.

I know that they officially do height/weights every year now. Did he get around that by being hurt at the beginning of the year?

Where are these form-fitting clearly not overweight pictures you speak of?

Someone finally mentioned it in this thread, but in March Zion posted a dunk on his Instagram with his shirt off. What else are people trying to see? Slow the video down and check for yourself. His lower half is thick and will take an off-season or two to slim down.

Here's video of the shirtless dunk.

It's not the best quality, but he's definitely not fat in it. Someone needs to burn Zion's sweatshirt so they give him a new one.

I'm fine with a sweat shirt like he has because

A. He still needs to drop some weight. Not much. Maybe another 10-15

B. I'm not a moron that thinks he's out of shape
