    He's since reached north of 300 pounds this offseason, sources said, again fueling concerns among New Orleans staffers similar to the months leading up to his rookie debut. When he joined the Pelicans' recent preseason trip to Minnesota, several league personnel on hand were struck by his heavier appearance than his listed playing weight last season of 284 pounds. "I know Zion at 280, and he was not 280," said one observer.

    Yep hate to turn this into a D&D but I have a question. Anyone else try to eat healthy but then get to a restaurant and see that the healthy items like salads, etc. cost 25-50% higher than the non healthy stuff? Produce isn't terrible at a grocery store but restaurants seem to force you to their lower priced unhealthy items. Anyways, lucky for me I can afford the healthy items but don't always go for them. Same with the grocery store where all of the "snacks" are cheap and convenient so everyone just loads up on them especially those living paycheck to paycheck. Anyways, definitely a mindset change but it would be nice if the healthy items could be cheaper somehow but I still think people would gravitate to unhealthy at least in America.

    I mean...price of healthier choices being higher than unhealthier items at restaurants isn't a new phenomenon. It's because unhealthy items are easier to mass produce/manufacture thereby making it cheaper to feed an entire family. The way "fight" this is to NOT go to restaurants on the regular and to cook at home. The same $10-12 that one buys a salad for at a restaurant could make at least 10 servings at home if you bought the ingredients and make it yourself. The caveat is time--most people don't have enough time to cook dinner for their families.

    Over 300 lbs?!?

    nah, Zion, u really gotta stop it

    Zion is now built like the letter o…put him and Ingram next to each other and they’d look like the number 10

    Zion needs an intervention before he eats his career away…the body ain’t built to be running, cutting, and dunking while putting 300 lbs of pressure on the joints

    Fat people forget that Eggs and whole chickens are cheap, easy protein from both for much less than fast food.
    As for your point, it’s ignorance and most fatties refusing to let go of processed foods. “Health” foods are overpriced, but bargains are to be had. Eggs are remarkably cheap for their nutritional benefits. Eating your veggies is another thing most fat people fail to do, and it’s not because of price. You can make enough coleslaw to last a man a week for $5-6. This might all change with empty shelves on their way as supply chains break and struggle.

    He needs the Barkley treatment, the 6ers didn’t let his fat ass play until he was 250. Never got the insane LeBron comparisons when Zion is Barkley’s spitting image. Both are built like 800 lb gorillas in a league of stickmen but have to watch out lest they weigh as much as one.

    Idk if a Barkley led intervention would make his problems better or worse tho.
