    Zion Williamson step-dad told C.Ruff today at his camp he’s currently 281 pounds (285 at Duke) and will be 272 by the time the season starts LOL

    i'm somewhat skeptical that even a slimmed down zion can stay healthy (see: shaq, larry johnson), but if he can...it changes things.

    No one showing the photo from a different angle:

    Zion is 6'6" and still has 20+ lbs on LeBron freakin' James. I guess that counts as "slim" these days.

    I mean, OK, he is now arguably slimmer than Jokic, who is 6'11". This is Joker's most recent pic after the Olympics:

    lol, if zion was 6 inches taller, could shoot like bird and pass like magic, we wouldn't be concerned with his belly.

    Please no 4 pt shot in the NBA. If anything the league needs to make those corner 3's longer by widening the court. Already way too many Steph clones who well aren't steph

    yes, please just widen the court so corner threes are the same distance and there's a little more space to operate.

    Remember 'Toine who said he was shooting so many threes because there were no fours? Well... here we go now. A 4-pt shot!

    Widening the court will never happen since every Franchise/Stadium owner would be losing a ton of ticket revenue by those removed seats.

    When looking at this shot and comparing it to the other angles, there’s no way this isn’t photoshopped to make him look slimmer.
    Anyway, the dude has already been a case of “what if” throughout his career. I wish him well, but it seems like such a waste to not be able to control your weight.

    Charles Barkley should advise Zion Williamson to learn two words... "I'm full."

    Well, technically, it's 3 words. Which, I admit, is on brand for Barkley.

    He should take Ozempic: I'm not aware of ti being restricted by any professional leagues.
