Okay he's in shape now he needs to work on his game he hasn't added anything to his toolbox.
This is the worst Ive seen Zion. He has lost way too much strength. He will have a rough time.
Zion will get most improved player of the year
Zion, I missed you.
Zion's in the best shape in his career no question
This might actually be the year for Zion 😮
Idk why Zion don’t watch his old high school tapes he used to be so ambidextrous like he would dunk with his right hand more. Right now he the typical left hander I feel like he can use his tools so much better
Stay healthy king, show us what we been waiting for. Let's goooo
Wouldn't it be amazing if this was the year Zion finally got it right and lived up to his potential. I forget how great he was in college. He could have been top 5 every year. He needs to finally develop his jump shot. With the shape he s in right now he d be ALL NBA. He s gotta stay healthy and available first though. I hope it sticks this year
he cant shoot
Zempic Zion !
If Zion stays healthy this Zion will be a issue
I was at this game in person, Tre murph was unstoppable. If the Pels tidy up their pick and roll defense – which was atrocious last night – they will make the playin/playoffs
Zion is literally a freak on and off court😂 if he stays in shape/healthy he is unstoppable.
As a former big dude im hear to say even tho zion lost weight he still has that strength
Instead of people waiting for his downfall, how about ACTUALLY applauding this man. How about keeping him motivated and stay in this type of mind frame. I know he got to want it for himself but when you see someone reach a milestone you gotta do your best to at least help to keep them there.
Please, give some ozempic also to Lofton jr
Zion's in/out dribble to the hole is unstoppable
This season Zion will prove why he was the first pick all along! A lot of people questioned it now we see why
Trey Murphy with warriors in January
I wish they'd come to Australia more often!
I'm calling 2 months before Zion blows his knees or something out again. If this dude was serious about staying in the league long-term, he should have had his weight under control from the get-go BEFORE all the injuries. Now his body's already pretty worn down and more prone to injuries, and it's never going to be as durable as it could have been, had he never gotten injured. He ain't getting younger either and injuries will only cost him more and more each time. It's a damn shame, with all that athletic gift
4.3 seconds left in the half and Zion travels the full court and slices through the D and scores! Brilliant!! Hard work is paying off!
Idk who got more bounce Zion or Trey they both just be flying over ppl 😂
I feel like Zion doesn’t even shoot jumpers anymore it’s like he’s completely abandoned that part of his game lol
"Shining" against a UK team. Yeah, I would hope so. What's next, Zion gonna be shining against my local middle school?
We'll see once the season starts and they start playing something real. Zero faith in Zion, he hasn't earned it.
That’s it!
Zion will be placed on injury recovery protocol until April.
Thanks for showing us what you can do.
