Zion is great...when he plays of course. My main worry is his progression. He hasnt done anything to raise his stock. His game is the exact same since his rookie season. He hasn't added a single move to his package, his shot might be worse. Js
@grumpy2k876 maybe if it was consistent along with the ability to drive both ways...maybe. dude goes left everytime. When he does go to the right side, he fades or finishes with his left. The dude is not developing at the rate of his peers. Like they are saying, he was suppose to be one of the faces of the league. Do you think hes close?
@@dubdub680Black people are the ones that created Jazz. We created that name. "The New Orleans Jazz" Pistol Pete used to play for that team before Utah bought the Franchise and stole our name....
As a pelicans fan who has followed Zion since he got drafted he has always been my favorite player. I have always been the first guy to defend him from haters but when he continues missing games and looking chubby at tatoo shops, he isn’t proving anyone wrong. I’m not ready to fully give up on him yet because I know what he’s capable but I don’t know if he will ever reach his full potential in New Orleans
he doesn't want to reach his full potential in new orleans, he never has. his attitude towards staying match fit directly reflects how much he cares about playing for the city

The problem is the incompetence of the Pelicans medical staff! He had from a hamstring tightness on Nov 3, 2024 and sat out against the Hawks, and then for whatever reason, he played again on Nov 6, 2024 against the Cavs. Hes been out indefinitely since.

Pacers has some of the best staff. I think it has to do with eating right more than you realize.

I suggest the Pelicans trade Zion to the Las Vegas Raiders for Maxx Crosby. He looks in basketball shape.🤔 And Zion looks in defensive nose tackle shape... so it could work for both teams. And Maxx can contribute AT LEAST as much coming off the bench for the Pels as Zion does.
told 2 years ago that Bench Simmons and Zion are on the same situation, hype summer workout and failed season. Then Zion fans were mad and think my comment was Simmons = Zion in terms of skills.
7:15 every time I see 'Lakers have top odds of trading for this player' I literally switch off now. They've 'had the top odds to trade for ' for too long. When y'all gonna stop pushing it?
I feel Zion is a winner at life, but not pro hoops, and it’s not some tragedy. For the first two decades he excelled at hoops and worked his ass off. Once he got his bag, he hooked with the ladies, took care of his family sharing his wealth with them, settled down with a wife and started his own family, bought a mansion, and seems to be just enjoying his time here on earth while indulging in the very awesome food at his disposal in New Orleans. He’s on the pleasure train. It’s hard to feel anything but envy and admiration for his choices.
No "fat shaming" here, but Pat Riley wouldn't tolerate that nonsense. Shaq stated, "He expected all the guards to have 6 percent body fat, the forwards to have 7 to 8 percent body fat, and the centers to have 10 percent body fat,". So many of us bust our butts and take care of business in every aspect of our lives and these soft-boys get to retreat their privileged posteriors to their palatial mansions without a care in the world. Perhaps that's a contributing factor of why people have stopped watching the NBA. This never happened when Michael Jordan was playing. Some people don't appreciate what they have until they lose it.
I’m not defending Zion, he’s had a lot of opportunities, but as for the random individual, think about it. I knew a semi-tall guy who lost over 50 lbs who was still brutally made fun of because he was still a bit pudgy with some loose skin. The reality is not all fat people are trying to lose weight, but weight loss is a journey, and as for the people who *are* trying, you have no way to tell how far they’ve come. Fat shaming doesn’t always work, in fact, most of the time it is actively detrimental. I’ve seen bigger people get snickered at in gyms, like where else are they supposed to be? So I’m not saying being fat (or obese) should be encouraged, I’m just saying we can treat fat people (especially people you don’t know) like regular humans because you don’t know how much weight they’ve potentially already lost.
@@realdreamerschangetheworld7470 I think we need to categorize fat shaming further. its shouldn't be black and white do or not-do thing. I agree that we shouldn't fat shaming people who try to be fit or even fat people who does daily activity minding their own business. As you said, we don't know how far they've come from adn what challenge they have. But if I see obese person sitting and munching junk food, or Zion himself, I'd argue a certain degree of fat shaming is justified. It could potentially save lives. Of course, ideally, a sincere loving advise is best, but real world has full spectrum of people after all.
6:48 most dominant player in the nba is a “healthy” ZION ????? 😂 does this dude sniff dehydrated Dr Pepper? 😂 ZIONNNNN???????? WTF ! Jokic stopped playing basketball? Giannis?
I don't see a world where any teams even bother about asking after Zion. It's gonna be the same thing we heard this offseason with the Hawks, with them making Zion available and the only calls coming in for Ingram. Other teams know the Pels aren't going to want Zion much longer, so they'll just wait for a cut.
New Orleans resident here. The problem with the Saints and Pelicans isn't on the court / field. It's on Airline Highway. The training facility. They can't keep anyone healthy. It's not a fluke. Everyone on both teams in two dif sports are "snake bit"? Nah it's the staff and protocol.
Us Grizzlies fans are looking at the Pels' season with some PTSD from our last season. That being said: Why would we want Zion when we've got Jaren Jackson Jr? He's just as dominant in the paint as Zion, while being way better defensively, bigger, and healthier. Those trade markets don't know what they're talking about.
I've gone from 242 to 210 in 6months with 2 gimpy knees, hip issues and a messed up wrist (all from a bike accident). All it took was changing out my breakfast(Grapenut Flakes+blueberries) and lunch(snackbar+Slimfast) and walking 1mile 3x/day. I can have whatever I want for dinner, stirfry, steak and mashed potatoes. It doesn't matter because even at the worst, I'm consuming 1200cal/day and the CDC states the avg male requires 2000cal so I'm at an 800cal deficit with the WORST of my dinners Yeah, as an athlete he'd require more calories than most of us but most teams have nutritionists on hand he could reach out to. Not every meal has to be a Wendys Double with Coke

Zion was in great shape in college - because he had a tough coach that held him accountable. No one in the NBA ever has. He's looking like he'll be the biggest bust in NBA history, in terms of talent versus actual production.
I was the biggest Zion fan when he was in high school, college and first few years of the NBA... ...now we gotta break up. I can't take it anyone. Wish he stayed in shape like peak high school Zion...
That video of him is funny because he's watching Baki and he's actually one of the only people on the planet capable of looking like those characters, but he doesn't care enough.
@FlamesAndWaves Dyson is bigger and younger, better on defense and just as good on offense for a third of what Murray is getting paid. I'm taking Dyson.
@ we also had no clutch players last year, Murray is one of the clutches guards, I would take him. Close games is why we didn’t go over fifty wins last year
I have been following the grizzlies for almost 20 years, one thing I hate about basketball is the lack of disparity… of course the lakers will get him, along with 2 other superstars 🙄
I've been losing weight of recent. I went for a 1 mile run, then caved and binged on some Burger King. Watching a Zion Williamson video should get me back on the right track.
I love the "jxmyhighroller" comparison, because I'm subbed to many basketball accounts, and nobody's basketball content touches jxmy's. Not a knock on everyone else, just giving his flowers where due. Easily the best basketball content creator I've ever seen.

But if I see obese person sitting and munching junk food, or Zion himself, I'd argue a certain degree of fat shaming is justified. It could potentially save lives. Of course, ideally, a sincere loving advise is best, but real world has full spectrum of people after all.
TheFlightMike said NO stole DJ from the Hawks. What a joke
Jesus Is coming, repent of your sins for God loved the world so much he gave his only son to die on the cross for our sins. Have a blessed day
People don't understand how AMAZING the food is New Orleans
6:48 most dominant player in the nba is a “healthy” ZION ????? 😂 does this dude sniff dehydrated Dr Pepper? 😂 ZIONNNNN???????? WTF ! Jokic stopped playing basketball? Giannis?
Nobody is stopping Zion when he comes down the court he’s ungaurdable in the paint
So are you saying we should never believe these transformation or summer workout videos? Got it.
I love Zion but man he has the ability to be a LEBRON type player but chooses to be like a rockets Charles Barkley
I don't see a world where any teams even bother about asking after Zion. It's gonna be the same thing we heard this offseason with the Hawks, with them making Zion available and the only calls coming in for Ingram. Other teams know the Pels aren't going to want Zion much longer, so they'll just wait for a cut.
Zion better than Ja
ew
Can someone explain why exactly that bone? And not any other ?
This guy is paying for bots to comment and view….all these weird comments and likes in first 40 seconds…
Yeah he uses fakes sponsors also don’t trust this guy
There’s just bots in general everywhere but I wouldn’t put it past him
He’s weird af
Idk im still gonna watch him but this is crazy if true
Google his name. He's a criminal
New Orleans resident here. The problem with the Saints and Pelicans isn't on the court / field. It's on Airline Highway. The training facility. They can't keep anyone healthy. It's not a fluke. Everyone on both teams in two dif sports are "snake bit"? Nah it's the staff and protocol.
5:26 "...signed off the street" 😂
Us Grizzlies fans are looking at the Pels' season with some PTSD from our last season.
That being said: Why would we want Zion when we've got Jaren Jackson Jr? He's just as dominant in the paint as Zion, while being way better defensively, bigger, and healthier.
Those trade markets don't know what they're talking about.
I've gone from 242 to 210 in 6months with 2 gimpy knees, hip issues and a messed up wrist (all from a bike accident). All it took was changing out my breakfast(Grapenut Flakes+blueberries) and lunch(snackbar+Slimfast) and walking 1mile 3x/day. I can have whatever I want for dinner, stirfry, steak and mashed potatoes. It doesn't matter because even at the worst, I'm consuming 1200cal/day and the CDC states the avg male requires 2000cal so I'm at an 800cal deficit with the WORST of my dinners
Yeah, as an athlete he'd require more calories than most of us but most teams have nutritionists on hand he could reach out to. Not every meal has to be a Wendys Double with Coke

Firstly, that JHR impression was 🔥 but the clips trading for another one of the top 5 most injury prone players in the league is wild
Zion was in great shape in college - because he had a tough coach that held him accountable. No one in the NBA ever has. He's looking like he'll be the biggest bust in NBA history, in terms of talent versus actual production.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Great Video Casey!!
Quick appreciation post for how you avoided saying “Zion always finishes ‘inside’” at 7:35 😅
Great Video man ! Love what you do.
I work a full time high demand labor job and still go to the gym 5 days a week. This is just sad
I was the biggest Zion fan when he was in high school, college and first few years of the NBA...
...now we gotta break up. I can't take it anyone. Wish he stayed in shape like peak high school Zion...
This video is going to do numbers. Love the content
Thibbs and the practice regimen would kill him. Gonna need the XL bed at MSK,
5:03 So missing those 5 players is starting with a $187M payroll and ending somewhere around $74M. Brutal for the on-court product.
they should change the salary rule to NO WORK NO Pay policy cause other players like kawhi and zions are getting millions while sitting in the couch
That video of him is funny because he's watching Baki and he's actually one of the only people on the planet capable of looking like those characters, but he doesn't care enough.
Them trading Dyson Daniel to get Murray will haunt them.
No? Dyson is not as good as murray
@FlamesAndWaves Dyson is bigger and younger, better on defense and just as good on offense for a third of what Murray is getting paid. I'm taking Dyson.
@ we also had no clutch players last year, Murray is one of the clutches guards, I would take him. Close games is why we didn’t go over fifty wins last year
5:49 he got the music too 😂😂
I have been following the grizzlies for almost 20 years, one thing I hate about basketball is the lack of disparity… of course the lakers will get him, along with 2 other superstars 🙄
havent seen a raycon ad in a while 😂😂
LaMelo Ball, Lonzo Ball and Zion all need their own team
lol along with Kawhi and Embiid , Simmons 6th man
That video of him with his shirt off looks like a guy whos gone off cycle .
I've been losing weight of recent. I went for a 1 mile run, then caved and binged on some Burger King. Watching a Zion Williamson video should get me back on the right track.
"I want my own lame music" hahaha caught me off guard. Nice one
The "ok my best jxmyhighroller impression" was too good
I love the "jxmyhighroller" comparison, because I'm subbed to many basketball accounts, and nobody's basketball content touches jxmy's. Not a knock on everyone else, just giving his flowers where due. Easily the best basketball content creator I've ever seen.
New Orleans Pelicans time now trading Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram & CJ McCallum?
as a knicks fan I’m so incredibly glad he never got traded here
Bro this is random but what were you doing at 5:16
Fr
He was in the middle of some calibrations.
I think it's over. I was hoping for the best.
JxmyHighroller impression too good hahahahahah
JxmyHighroller impression was fire lmaooo
Shout out JimmyHighroller @ 5:38 lmaooo
