Zion to miss opening week of NBA season and probably more with knee injury; "not severe" though

[Dwight Howard]

Last part of your post makes no sense. An NFL lineman needs the bulk to play the position against other large men.
Zion does NOT need carry so much weight to play inside in the modern NBA. Fat ass players in the past succeeded in spite of their bulk, not because of it.

Whether this injury was directly or indirectly caused by weight or lack of conditioning......playing 80+ games at his draft night weight or higher is not the smart move.


And remember , I'm on the record as rooting for that young man.....but I predicted that he'd play less than 60 games this year because of his size.

Last part of my post is meant to address the argument that when a player injures his knee, losing weight is the logical next step. Point is, bigger athletes carry more weight and see NO injuries to their knees. Conversely, when lineman do injure their knees the remedy isnt "lose weight". Many comeback and remain dominant without experiencing further injury. Bottomline is losing weight is not a surefire remedy for this, and unless you're an MD I'm not tryna hear it unless yall provide me with Zion's medical reports.

You’re really a fukking weirdo. Mentally ill psychopath. Probably the only person I can think of who’d come into a thread about injury to push his agenda. Get a girl and retire from this board nikka

I wish Zion all the health for a long career, it's half the reason why I said he needs to drop weight in the first place (as I've said many a time), but I wish eternal damnation for all those who took my argument out of context.

The only person you can think of who'd come into a thread about injury to push his agenda?

How long have you been on this board to say this dumbass shyt? Posters create threads wishing players to get injured on the regular, and yet you have a problem with me, not for wishing a player to get injured, not for celebrating a player getting injured, but simply taking a shot at posters on this board. Seriously, that's what you have a problem with?

Did you conveniently not see this post in the thread:

Damn that’s too bad, and some of y’all Pels fans was laughing at that AD thumb shyt too. Tough break...

And folks dapped it too. No offense to my mans @2Quik4UHoes - I'm just trying to prove a point.

Woj- Curry has grade 1 sprain could miss 2 weeks..no damage to knee

So how many "But Steph was rusty" excuses are we gonna hear when Cleveland demolishes them in the Finals?

The Mistake From the Lake Boys looking unbeatable right now.

Mentally ill psychopath pushing his agenda in a thread about an injury.

He's not "fat", he's just carrying too much mass for his frame, that's why he's going to need to drop weight and adjust his game accordingly; that means he's not going to be able to play with the same physicality as he did before, because he won't have the same weight advantage.
