SMH @ all these "worry about your own weight" and "are you a nutritionist" comments. As if the subject of discussion was some random perfectly healthy player that is hated on for the hell of it and not a dude who just missed half of his rookie season because of what is almost certainly a weight-related injury.

Cut Alvin some slack he just following the medical staff's orders which are coming from higher up.

Dudes want him to risk his job and Zions health to appease them. This is truly one the weirdest times for this thread ever.

 

[lamekilla]

If you feel some way about his weight than last night should’ve been that much more impressive

**** Alvin. My hate for him goes beyond Zion though.
That ***** left Kenrich Williams in a game I had money when he was 0-6 from 3 and 0-9 from the floor.
Dude was *** the entire game and for the life of me I can't understand why Gentry gives him meaningful minutes.

Don't call me pa

Please. Gentry’s dumb *** was trying to take him out two separate times prior to that and told the sub to come back from the scorer’s table. If he was that worried about his health for a few more minutes to actually try to win an important game that Zion singlehandedly got you a lead in for the first time all game then he not only should have came out prior to that 17 in a row happening but he shouldn’t have even been on the court last night to begin with. He literally said there wouldn’t be a minutes restriction when Zion made his return in the interviews leading up to it. They said when he came back they wanted him to be 100% full-go. Not at least putting dude back in for the last two minutes was just stupidity by everyone involved in the decision. He could have gotten hurt within the first minute of playing.

didnt they say he would play in 4-5 min increments only though

At least it’s not talking about Embiid weight lol

The night of they said that. That was the first I ever heard those words used. They said several times prior to last night that when he returned he wouldn’t be on a minutes restriction. That’s one of the reasons I was excited enough to actually wanna try to go to the game. If I showed up and he played 8 minutes in the first half I would have been pissed.

 

[everysingletime]

They did say that. They said no minutes restrictions but 4-5 minute bursts only. I don't see why they can't have him do two bursts in one quarter. 4 minutes at the beginning of one quarter, give him a quick blow and then have him sub in to finish the same quarter

Not trying to “compare” them but I never realized how bad Kenny Smiths knock knees were. I’m sure he had injuries but, did he ever suffer a major knee injury??

Again, I’m not comparing their game or athleticism. Just their knee/leg structure.

 

[finessence]

I hate Gentry

Ditto. He’s such a dunce

 

[friscostylez]

Zion's athleticism stupid wild lol

Doesn't make any sense. I kinda wanna see what he could do as a TE on the turf

If he's injury prone, yes we will.

cant say for certain but one thing i do know, he never had those knees holding up 285lbs

 

[finessence]

Imagine how much more explosive Zion could be at 240-260 though .

I think it’s common knowledge that he needs to lose weight. He’s 19 so he’s not even physically matured. He has to get that under control now. I’m sorry but his parents/camp should’ve got him a nutritionist a lonnnnnng time ago. I really want to see dude flourish in the 250-260lb range. That’ll be great for the NBA.

He can’t possibly sustain a 15-17 year career at 285+.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I am confused, those that are bothered by the weight comments how do you feel the Pelicans should approach this situation?

I understand that he is a Freak Athlete but how does that play into this conversation?

I come in Peace

 

[clyde the glide]

It's funny hearing people doubt Zion and Ingram fitting together while his first highlight was a pass to a cutting Ingram

 

[SC kid]

He's like those weird characters you unlocked in NBA street

 

[everysingletime]

Zion supposedly was 250 at the time this video was taken... In summer 2016. Look at how skinny he looked... I don't think it's possible for him to get to 250...but 270 is probably doable.
