Would you expect anything other than the usual contrarian crap from him.

I saw him at Treasure Chest last week and he looked to be in great shape.

He's wearing track pants and an oversized T-shirt. You can't tell dick about what kind of shape or condition he's in. You are guessing based off his face and forearms?

Because these threads suck. I have a decent interest in fitness and training. I actually love hearing about great athletes training programs and what they do to prepare. Most athletes love to show off and post pictures everywhere. Not Zion.

My standard for his conditioning is super high. Like Giannis level is where he should be. Until he gets there I'm not celebrating that at least he's not soft anymore..

So you enjoy looking at athletes without their clothes and flexing. Its a shame for you that Zion is so modest.

You’re right, he should start dressing like the WNBA players so BRmark can better see, since you can’t seem to tell my his neckline, face and arms

Isn't he the same guy who has declared how much weight Zion should lose and what he should weigh by looking at pictures in the past?

Can he stay healthy. Can he make jumpers. Can he win 16 playoff games. Those are my concerns, weight during offseason, not so much anymore.

I don't understand what point you could be making. Everybody, yes everybody, is concerned about his weight and conditioning and has commented in the past. Are you saying this should have never been a topic?

I think we all know his weight is an issue but getting pissed that he’s wearing a track suit or hes not posting shirtless workout selfies or expecting him to become giannis/lebron is taking it a bit overboard.

None of that matters cause I'm gay right?

Why? You just named two of the greatest players ever. It takes extraordinary effort to do and become what they are. If he doesn't do that, he never comes close to their level. He said he's copying James' training regiment. It's his aspiration. James is posting workout sessions at 5 AM (in tight workout clothing). It's not happenstance..

I don’t know your sexual orientation nor do I care.

Because he copies his regimen- hes now suppose to look like him and act like him by posting workout regimens in tight clothing at 5 am?? Where are you going with this?

First, I don't think he's copying him. That was just a thing he said. But he realizes that's the measuring stick and where he should be. So me having a similar stance is logical.

I talked about his attire cause of the pictures posted and how they don't exhibit anything. He trains hours a day in multiple locations. It's not weird to you that there aren't pictures or videos that show him in workout gear? Or running in pickup games over the summer?

That's what you got from that comment? No, in the past he wore baggy clothes and based on photos, you repeatedly declared how overweight he was and exactly how much weight he should lose, all based on those photos. Now there is a photo whereby it is clear that he is in better shape and your comment is-

I just find that disingenuous and hypocritical.

If he comes into camp looking like that, we would all be ecstatic considering what he's looked like the past 5 years coming into the season. We don't need him to look like Duke Zion in October. Just need him to look like March/April Zion at the start the year.

I find it refreshing that he doesn’t chronicle everything of his life on social media.

Jokic does none of this garbage and is one of the best players in the league. All this summer training on social media is just crap. Ben Simmons has amazing offseason videos of him shooting 3s and still looks like shite.
