Karl Malone says Zion needs to get into shape

[Crude]

I don't fukk with Malone but I'd like to see Zion drop another 15-20 pounds and Van Gundy play him longer stretches.

I'd also like to see him develop a mid range jumper, it's going to be in essential to his development. We playing him as an undersized power forward now, I can already kinda see guys with length kinda bother him in the low post.

He also needs to get to the point where he is nimble enough on his feet to keep up with shooting guards and small forwards.

You dug deep on that google search. I can tell you a lil young nikka. Its pretty universally known that Karl Malone was always in top shape.

Yall try to discredit anything man.

Also, Malone didn't play his first NBA game until he was 22.

 

[itsyoung!!]

At 21, Karl Malone averaged 30 minutes a game.

This NBA fan and former player culture is toxic as fukk.

was that because of endurance or because of the coach and roster at the time....................


Are you arguing that Karl Malone wasnt in top shape here or what was the point of your post ?

This Date in NBA History (Oct. 25): Utah Jazz legend Karl Malone makes his NBA debut | NBA.com Canada | The official site of the NBA
Malone's NBA debut was when he was 22.

He wasn't penciled in as a starter as a rookie either

At 22, he averaged 30 minutes a game.

I actually met Karl Malone, likely before a lot of yall dudes were born. The niqqas shoulders are where the tip of my elbows are now and patent leather shoes looked like Vader's helmet. He's the last person I would argue about being in shape.

What we don't know is how is if he would have handled 40 minutes a night at 22.

 

[Damnshow]

He's not in shape because he plays for a franchise that gives no fukks about winning.

 

[Flex Luger]

Dude molested a child. fukk anything he has to say.

 

[Elim Garak]

Why would you play a modern player 40 minutes a night? He does need around 30-34 minutes consistently which is what he's doing.

 

[JLaw]

Zion is playing 32.4 a night which is actually above average for a starter. I don’t think anyone has averaged 40mpg in many years.

I agree that he would be better off with less bulk though.
