Zion Williamson’s former trainer takes shots at Zion’s recent weight gain. Likely dissing Zion’s current trainer and Zion’s lack of commitment to a diet which is probably why he is his *former* trainer.

[Zion Williamson’s trainer details summer workouts that put Pelicans’ star in ‘fantastic shape’ (Sep 19, 2022)](https://theathletic.com/3606269/2022/09/19/zion-williamson-weight-pelicans/)
>“He’s in fantastic shape,” Bibbs told The Athletic. “He’s been committed to putting in the work day in and day out. I’m really proud of what he’s been able to accomplish. He’s a better athlete now than he’s ever been.”
Must be frustrating to work with a guy who has all the talent in the world but he just won’t listen and get to work.
Zion might be in that Ben Simmons , Deandre Ayton category. World class potential but doesn’t give 1 F about basketball and winning.
Jamarcus Russell vibes.
Holy shit the 2nd pic is damning. I forgot he came in looking like that
He’s built different.
Crazy how pre-draft everyone joked NO would be the worst spot for Zion bc of the food and the training staff and now it seems prescient.
He needs to get back on that Moriah diet
damn it’s like half of the no 1 picks in the last 10 years have motor or work ethics issue
Alright, can someone who’s a math whiz figure out how many calories are burned in an nba game? How much is Zion eating to be gaining weight so easily I don’t understand
Slim Zion was scary indeed. What a waste of talent.
He should switch to defensive line he could eat all he wants too
That second photo. Jesus if Zion was still built like that…is rebounding seems so low for a PF as strong as him. That is usually an effort thing
What’s he doin? It ain’t like those pornstars can cook. He probably has multiple private chefs. His ass is sooo big.
Homie is shaped like a Oompa Loompa that got left in the chocolate factory for a week
Y’all just wait for the leaks that come out the day Zion isn’t with the Pels anymore. Pels protect his image so much and prevent so much from getting out. His family is crazy about negative press.
[When Zion came to the bubble way overweight and out of shape and ended up pulling a hammy as a result, his family made the Pels say he had to go home to tend to a “family emergency.”](https://www.wdsu.com/amp/article/sports-contributor-shamit-dua-zions-injury-calls-into-question-every-injury-in-the-past/37807996)
You can’t out train a bad diet. Zion has no impulse control
I feel bad for the team that gives him another max. Its obvious hes gonna be a role player by age 30
As a former fat guy, I have a lot of sympathy for Zion
Not even trying to be funny, but food addiction is a very real thing and it’s not treated nearly as seriously as it should be by society. Sure it’s not as harmful in the short term as alcoholism or drug addiction, but food addiction still takes a massive toll on your health and can kill you in the long run
I’ve been there, it’s super hard. You want to stop eating, but you can’t. Food takes away all the pain, it takes away all the guilt. For those few minutes when you’re eating something delicious, all the trouble in the world melts away and you feel joy. Who doesn’t want to feel joy?
But I’m just an average Joe who doesn’t have millions to my name, and I managed to break the addition. If I can do it, then Zion can too
He’s good in his own right but it doesn’t seem like he’s taking his career seriously
everybody turning into scott steiner
How do you get fat during season?
It’s not Zion’s fault, have you ever tried a Po boy before?
You can pull the horse away from the ranch trough but …
The conditioning is as annoying as ever. The fan base still does a lot of coddling as well, which is equally annoying tbh. We can’t hold the man accountable as fans, imagine trying to do that as a coach or trainer.
He’s fucking fat, no other way around it.
All I’m saying is Zion was a tad slimmer on the Moriah Mills workout plan.
To be overweight while playing basketball at this level is insane
Like he’s gonna be eating 15k calories a day
Bro been eatin Moriah mills wha do you expect. Had to get his weight up to rock with her
It also looks bad for business if the trainer has a portfolio and fat Zion is his main client . “ why can’t he get this guy into shape he must suck at his job”
Zion looked huge against the Lakers. He is definitely overweight
I’ve gone from 260-200 this year and honestly you have to seriously want that change.
I’ve failed twice to get in shape before now and it was because I just didn’t want it enough and didn’t have the support I do now. I feel for the guy, he doesn’t seem to truly desire that change.
