I've never been on the Zion is fat train but things have changed... YIKES!

Packing on more lbs as we speak.....

I'm still absolutely floored that this info didn't come out until like 5 days before NBA opening tip off.

And I'm going to say this over and over because I'm still pissed I drafted Zion with my 3rd pick, only to find out literally 12 hours later from the Pelicans Organization "oops, Zion gained 30lb he's gonna be out the first 2 months, sorry for just telling everyone now.."
 
In that pic, he looks like that fat kid Arkansas had back in the day. Dwight Stewart, I think? That kid could shoot!
No conversation about TRULY FAT NBA players can be held without including Oliver Miller. It's amazing that he was able to sustain himself for a long NBA career. I think the 2002 Oliver Miller might have gone back in time and eaten the 1992 Oliver Miller.

It's sad that a guy with the potential to be a NBA Superstar doesn't have the will power or desire to get his weight under control. Even when he was playing at 270 pounds it was too much for his style of play. He needs to be a chiseled 250 to be able to maximize his potential.

He needs to go for a ride on a Bezos rocket and at least he can be weightless for a minute or two.
 
Wow, you saw this coming? Too bad every GM in the NBA couldnt. Some NBA team should sign you to keep them from making these horrible decisions
You seriously thought the guy was going to have a long career? Anytime you have an odd under supported body (Bowie, Greg Oden, Zion), the odds are high that his career will end in injury.

I suppose you think every GM in the NBA is a genius?
 
There are plenty, but one that sticks with me is Shawn Kemp, because he was a superstar at the time, and at only 29 years old, should’ve remained so for some time.

But then he inexplicably and suddenly got fat in 99, and never again regained any of the explosiveness he had before he got fat ...even after he lost the weight soon thereafter.
Yeah Kemp was superhuman and hit the biggest athletic wall I’ve ever seen.

Great video once you get past Shaq giggling like a fool. I love that Moses Malone told Barkley that he was fat and lazy, and that made Chuck decide to do something about it. "What am I gonna do, kick Moses Malone's ass? He's Moses Malone!" 😆 😆 😆 😆
What’s sad is that it’s the truth and now Malone would have been criticized heavily for saying that. I applaud them for talking about it seriously though. They didn’t roast him they said what was reality.

What’s up BB? Haven’t seen you much lately.

I've been here most every day but kept from posting much. Early last season took a lot out of me. I hope all is well with you and your family. You still got it going on. Good posts...

Shawn Kemp kind of had that weird, "it sort of looks like it hurts to walk" pigeon-toed gait that Zion has.

That's probably just a coincidence but something I've noticed.
 
What in the actual shit is going on? How the hell is he gaining weight now that the Pels staff have been with him for the last 2 months?

Click link to see full image.. the top half doesn't do it justice.

I'm starting to think Zion never plays a game this year. If he's not back by game 50, that's gonna be it. Pels aren't going to risk trotting out a fat Zion only to ruin his body, just so they can win 20 games instead of 15.
