shaq was 7’2 and built like a tank in his prime. Plus he never had to leap cuz he was so tall.

zion what bout 6’5? He leaps like crazy landing hard on them knees with his fat ass.

little known fact zion is the 2nd heaviest nba player at 285lbs. Only zubac weighs more and he 7’1
Little known fact, heights of nba players haven’t changed much since the 1970s; the major difference was weight. Players got heavier and pace slowed, until player weight started going down around the 2010s and possessions per game started getting closer to the absurd pace of the 1960s finals. Zion would have ate in the 80s-90s, but like you said, having to play uptempo is going to be more difficult. But what do I know, the NOLA stans say I’m uninformed :mjlol: I mean the obviously know so much about basketball, hence why so many free agents are chomping at the bit to run to New Orleans. :troll:

CP3 tried getting the fukk outta there asap.

AD literally just did that shyt last season. He sat on the bench for like half the year, and then walked to the Lakers.

Zion is now sitting on the bench... pre-season...

The only stupid ass motherfukkers around here is the Pelicans' franchise.

Report: Pelicans’ medical staff panned for being too football-centric
How the Pelicans failed Anthony Davis
"But the Pelicans are the only NBA team that shares both its staffing and practice facility grounds with the football team, which many around the league see as a “corporate synergy” cost-saving measure."

You're medically understaffed, and your dumbasses wonder why you keep losing your star players to injuries. :francis:

Damn you still salty as all hell about that 4-0 ether from almost 2 years ago now huh? :banderas:

Burns your soul to its bitter, worthless core knowing some "stupid ass motherfukkers" humiliated your pathetic excuse of a team and then went and put up a better fight against the Warriors than your pathetic choking asses did with KD out. Ol 4-and-hoed outta the playoffs 3 years in a row asses. :mjlol::umad:


Bet your FO would dump your whole bum ass team and those midget guards you've been resting your sad pathetic hopes on for the past 6 years for the chance to build around a real generational talent like Zion. But then they'd just surround him with scrubs like fatass Whiteside and muppet ass coaches like that turtle faced choking cac Stotts and he'd be the latest casualty to be swept outta the playoffs year after year so thank god that ain't happening. I almost feel sorry for Dame; he gonna be subject to perennial humiliation for every year he's committed to your gentrified :trash: ass excuse for a city and franchise and he'll be nothing but an afterthought in the history books when all is said and done because of it. At least there'll always be all the good memories of him and his teams valiant struggles in all those annual losses to remember...

Doctors are saying they are surprised he didn't drop weight over the summer. Also, Zion has a weird gait and valgus. :francis:

Assuming this is just knee soreness and nothing more the Pelicans need to really get on monitoring his diet and getting his bio mechanics in a better place.
