Zion replied βWho is FAT now huhβπ
Zion just destroying KAT and Rudy In the paint. Baby Shaq was ready tonight. Heβs tired of hearing the crap about his weight and diet. So he wanted to prove heβs fit as he needs to be I guess .
He looks like he dropped donuts
He probably went straight to KFC after the gameπ€π€£
Air Gumbo is feastin π₯
Good to see Green still run actual plays for him, pathetic coach
imagine he is so fit and he adds things to his game like jump shots free throws and 3 pts! that would be monster monster !
Zion, is a once in a generation talent he is like the MJ of this Era exciting to watch but it bully ball with the finese of a ballerina π
He played with a potato chip on his shoulder
Would have been great against lakers when it really matteredβ¦.. but go off π₯·π€·πΎπ―
This how you know the Lakers Defense is something different!
is it me or he lose weight since their game with the lakers?
What ppl have to understand is that without dropping the weight, he won't be able to do this on a consistent basis. When ur fat u take plays off, or games off. He is a special talent but his conditioning doesn't allow his motor to run this high all the time. Bro just lose the weight!
That final play @02:53, moved McDaniels like 7 ft with his shoulder
Layups on 98 rating
hmmm, if the fat criticism can make him play like that, you all should ask the media to keep doing it. But unfortunately they will start praising him and he will start play like a fatty again, it has happened before. π€₯
if we being honest, that kind of body weight is not good for him long term regardless of his talent. Sure he can ball like that, but for how long? take care of your body young fella.
Is this still dribbling or already carying?
Stephen A is such a nob. Constantly should eat his words
if this guy can stay healthy and works a little bit on his jumpshot ( he doesn't need to be durant) just to give defenders something to think about. he could be one of the greats in the history of the nba. his efficiency around the rim is insane. also It is sad that in 5 seasons he played only 130 games out of 410 games.
Love zion but the problem still remains, its not just his weight its the fact that he can only score near the basket .Bron exposed him by just guarding the rim, zion canβt shoot and he can barely dribble the ball, he relys on getting in the paint and heβs only 6β6 , why do you think he loves cherry picking (No pun intended) π Iβm starting to think people donβt even really watch basketball smh.
Kat still cant play d
Zion is wicked
I guess he didn't like the fat jokes
He rejected that box of krispy kreme donuts.
Does Zion not have a jumper? 36 pts in the paint is insane.
Now where was this Zion against the Lakers.
Every yr he's been in the league, they've tried to get him to alter his body, and every year he's ended up hurt. Maybe this is just the size he feels most comfortable at. He knows his body. He may sacrifice some defense because of it, but this size may actually help him keep that insane explosive power he has in check. Remember last yr before he got hurt and he was "in shape" the Pels were the number 1 seed. I believe he'll drop it towards the end of the season when it's getting close to the playoffs.
Zion sure looks limited AF on offense π
It's all one way no other threat pretty sad
The man is finishing over 2 7 footers like itβs easy smh
The dickeating they been doing to this man is insane .
The Gobert Trade was a disservice to all the fans of Minnesota
His stomach is moving one way, and his butt is moving another
He would eat the table
Imagine if he got in shape. Guaranteed 40pts every night. If he adds a jumper 50 easy.
I hope he uses the criticism and play himself into shape. All he needs to do is eat healthy since Playing a nba game burns a ton of calories.
Use the negatively Z….πͺππ¬π§
His conditioning was radically improved this gameπ
Needs to expand his game if he really wants to be great. Almost every bucket looks the same in this besides a spin move. The Lakers exposed how one dimensional he is, and if that doesn't work, he's got nothing else
As a Lakers fan who heard all the post game Zion slander, I have utmost respect for the way he responded. Love this kid and wish for him to continue to prove the media doubters wrong time and time again. Heβs unstoppable π―
Those offensive rebounds, thats what I wanna see. With his size and jumping ability he can box anybody out and jump to get it. He should be getting 2 – 3 offensive rebounds a game.
The last highlight looked spooky the way he landed…
he can't shoot π€£
The In season is really a rigged tournament.
