Re: Training Camp/Preseason Discussion Thread

You noticed exactly what this sports doctor noticed. I really hope Zion just walks like that because of swag lol. Please stay healthy, please.

Ha!

They included the clip that really opened my eyes when Zion met AD at the Summer League game.

Zion was walking with this kind of bop that’s clearly knee issues. Healthy people don’t want like that..much less athletes.

I know most tall guys have that kind of gangly looking walk but something is just off about the way he walks.

And carrying that much weight on top of it..yikes.

Ok this has gone too far! I'm so tried of this.

Have you seen LeBron walk before?
Have you seen Derrick Rose walk before?

Too much is what his knees are carrying as evidenced by his recurring problems on both of them, simply put he is overweight. He is going to miss at least two weeks and when comes back, there is a high probability he's going to get injured again.

Russ keeps dislocating fingers on his shooting hand...hope he's ready for the opener.

He's the enemy, dog. I hope he continues to throw up bricks all season.

Now we are looking how players walk?.... Come on man... LeBron has a has a pigeon-toed walk.

Maybe it's just me. I can't take the negative views. The microscope that every little ****ing thing happens. Let him get a major injury first. Before jumping to conclusions.

Re: Training Camp/Preseason Discussion Thread

The facts are there: recurring knee injuries since high school and the constant pressure of 290 lbs on the knees in every run, turn, brake, jump, spin on a body where the hips are wider than the shoulders.

The walking is just the tip of the iceberg, the problems mentioned are real.

Re: Training Camp/Preseason Discussion Thread

Jeebs ain’t nobody jumping to conclusions lol.. I’ve said the dude walked/moved funny since he was at Duke. Maybe he has a massive injury, maybe he never does, doesn’t change the observation any. Idk what you’re getting so worked up for [emoji23]

Re: Training Camp/Preseason Discussion Thread

People keep saying he needs to lose weight. I don't see where/how he's going to do that. The dude isn't fat.

I remember saying that about Jokic and everyone said he was fine

If Jokic moved and jumped like Zion things might be a bit different though.

Its insane how Zion went from 6' 3" 185 to 6'6" 280 in a span of a couple of years. Dude put on a 100 lbs of pure muscle.

I can work out for 10 years doing nothing but shoulder exercises and never get the shoulders that Zion had at 18. lol smh dude is a freak. We've never seen an athlete like him... at least on the basketball court.

I think we have, it's just been over longer frames and on guys who hold a bit less body fat.. Zion isn't fat by any means, but he's not nearly as lean as a similarly built Larry Johnson was either. He could stand to lose some body fat.. To me he looks quite a bit thicker now than he did when he first got to Duke, and that's probably the opposite direction he needs to be going.

NBA players are incredibly lean, guys that hold any bit of muscle typically look cut to shreds.. Robinson, Giannis, Dwight, Malone, LeBron, and so on.. Zion just looks kinda beefy, and as big as those shoulders are there is almost no taper from his shoulders to his waist.. His arms are big enough/muscular enough to make him look like he's leaner than he actually is IMO.. I think he could lose about 15-20 pounds and be fine honestly.

Re: Training Camp/Preseason Discussion Thread

Zion you are fat.

Nobody wanted to tell you because everyone wants something from you and you were doing great even though you are fat. Lose some weight, lose some body fat, gain some muscle. It will do you wonders.

Re: Training Camp/Preseason Discussion Thread

Just google some pics from Zion now and his Duke days. There's a photoshoot pic that I'm beginning to think was photoshopped where he's in his Duke uniform squeezing a ball and he's extremely vascular. There's pics of him playing at Duke too where he's somewhat vascular. Now he doesn't look vascular at all and has no visible muscle separation between his biceps and triceps when he flexes...that's a sign of higher body fat.
