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

[ISO]

Knock it off

Zion is flabby compared to young shaq

Nikka stop it they have different builds. Ain’t shyt flabby about Zion he’s a muscular DE built nikka. Zion is more functionally athletic than Shaq. 285 lb. nikkas not supposed to be that fast, nimble, quick, or have 45 inch verticals.

Aint shyt in that video more impressive than what Zion does

Yall fukking kill me

Shaq is definitely more functional

Zion is a rocket but he's not weaving thru defenders in traffic on the break

Shaq is and he's 7 in taller

True functionality is your ability to do it vs others trying to stop you

Stop it ain’t shyt in that video more impressive than what Zion does

A few rare coast to coasts on long rebounds with no one back and broken rims in the pre breakaway rim era ain’t shyt compared to what Zion did at Duke and has done in SL and preseason in his short career

Zion isn’t weaving through defenders on the break but fukking Shaq is because you saw a highlight clip of him doing it a few times

Shaq was a big, tall, strong agile coordinated nikka he wasn’t the monster athlete that Zion is.

Zion vert like 10-15 inches higher and he would dust Shaq in a foot race and could probably bench press as much as slim rookie Orlando Shaq.

I don't want to catch whatever it is you have that makes you fall in love with nikkas and see alternate realities

Zion sitting for weeks doing no basketball activities in New Orleans with all that cajun food

He has the fat gene for sure

 

[Rocket Scientist]

You can tell by way he walks .They should put his ass on minutes restriction when he gets back.

I been saying it in every thread. Dude needs to lose weight.

thats a bad list minus big ben. blake injury prone, embid injury prone.

lets hope Zw is not the same as those 2 guys when it comes to injuries. i dont think thats the case. and his weight aint the reason yall. he just got to the nba. weight causes those issues once you start playing a full nba season which is longer than you've ever played before. that will show you what your body can handle or cant handle.

I remember when Kobe post shaq put that extra muscle on and he was noticeably bigger up top. i said then, that dude will cause himself knee problems. he gotta cut that back down. he was killing dudes with the extra size but it did make him noticeably slower. he cut that weight downt he following year due to a desire for more quickness and having more knee problems due to the extra weight. but thats a guy that was born on skinny stilts for legs. zion does not have stilts. he's naturally a big dude all around like karl malone or bron. usually those true big boys dont have injury issues like that. i ididnt say fat boys. Big boys. But i agree i would rather have him at 265 personally. and i think he would too. but that will come with that nba workout and a professional/personnel chef.

coli doctors STFU

 

[Rocket Scientist]

Not a medical expert but it's common sense more weight you have more problems.Both his knees has been injured within last few months.Honestly this is type of dude where he needs 1 year to condition himself come back in better shape .Yes missing a season is bad but don't want this guy to go the Shawn Kemp route .I think this is way more serious then they are letting on.

[Cheech&Chong]

Young Shaq was something else


This sucks for Zion. Hope he gets a full full recovery and doesn't rush back. Hes my main interest in the league this season. Hope its nothing serious

 

[get these nets]

Interesting that Shaq's name came up. He was another guy who came into the league with Madison Avenue hype....like Zion. That hype, and fans wholesale buying into it caused backlash among older fans. It actually caused backlash among NBA players.
People commenting about Zion's (inevitable)injury is a backlash against the HYPE, not against Zion. Nobody is happy to see a rookie injured. But go back and read the hyperbole being repeated about this young man. People literally listened to and repeated EVERYTHING espn said. To the extent that they blocked out anything they perceived as critical of him. Even that his weight and playing style was an injury waiting to happen.

U bugging

These nikkas sais Shaq was athletically better than rookie Zion and that SHAQ WAS MORE fukkIN NIMBLE. SHAQ. Not Hakeem, not David Rob, fukkING SHAQ WAS MORE NIMBLE THAN ZION.

SHAQ BRO. fukkING SHAQ .




Shaq was a rare humann being, Shaq was made in a lab. The lab that created Shaq was closed due to the lab that created Lebron folled him up by Zion.

Do u nikkas really listen to yourselves sometime? That shyt is fukkin idiotic to even be considered as a fukkin possibility.

DID SHAQ MOVE LIKE A fukkIN GUARD IN THE OPEN COURT AND HALF COURT.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT SHAQS GAME WAS SPEED OR AGILITY YOU fukkING IDIOTS. DAMN SOME OF U nikkaS ARE DUMB

No


SHAQS name came up to compare to Zion athletically and his ability to zig zag in the open court


You can't make this shyt up

 

[DetroitEWarren]

Dawg really said fukking Shaq could go coast to coast and zig zag defenders better than Zion.


I'm fukkin done



shyt makes it sound like I'm trying to hoe my Dawg Shaq, he is my 4th favorite of all time. But dumbass statements like that MUST get rejected disrespectfully
