Carmelo Anthony Gives Advice to Zion Williamson

[@jazzprincemusic]

I see Melo, I click.

I know, I love and miss Melo in the NBA!

[@xinelamadeus6206]

Big facts!

[@TruthSpeaker4]

You a real one thats y 👍🏽

[@zenacen2669]

As a big dude who’s struggled with my weight my whole life Melo is right in with the discipline.

[@JrobAlmighty]

Fellow big fella over here and let me tell ya, it gets harder every time I slip up and need to drop weight. It's crazy the damage it put on my body during those years too. People just don't know what's coming, physical recovery I mean, at that age.

[@TruthSpeaker4]

Stop eating man it aint that hard

[@InterstateInf]

Fellow big dude people swear it’s so easy

[@nupc717]

fellow ancestral big dude here

[@sincerecolar]

Epic perspective. This was needed, these thoughts aren't shared by the masses. 7pm is changing the game. Legend of my ERA. I was 13 when Melo & Bron were drafted. Maturity shows you how much youth is uninformed and how much we have to grow and learn. Zion is gonna be fine.

[@ZBo-tw2ri]

No he’s not. We’ll see in 2-3 years

[@sincerecolar]

@@ZBo-tw2ri I understand where you’re coming from. I just rather see him prove you wrong.

[@tyronedelk5702]

REAL SHIT!! MELO!!!!!!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@SDK248]

Bro Unc Melo deserves contracts for narration, because bro can dissect and analyze within the confines of different eras, play styles, effort and obviously tenacity towards what it takes to win in the history of the NBA as it is. Love the insight, keep it up , keep it #Melo

[@SDK248]

And tbh on the note of Zion Williamson, the narrative over his weight and whether or not it affects his level of play, it should be kept to himself and he should be able to control his definition of optimal health and living for his sake of personal lifestyle. But Melo put it up to clarity on the idea of what it takes for greatness to be achieved through the highest levels of body recovery and health maximization. I really believe in Zion’s capability to not just lose weight but maximize his physical capabilities, putting in half the battle of clean eating and energy consumption in order to perform at the highest level. Let’s not forget, bro is phenom hooper, he has a jumper that hasn’t been given a true 100% plus ultra effort yet, so when Williamson starts to flip side of athleticism, the test of skill and health endurance will ultimately be the true test of what it takes to play ball. 🏀

[@ga_sulati]

OG talk. Disciple and consistency

[@PurpleCabbage]

I hope Zion watches these videos about him !!!! He’s awesome regardless

[@kingcook1485]

Great break down and advice OG Melo!!!!!🫡💯

[@lilmocharlie]

I love the perspective @melo he was still a “kid” and that’s a lot of expectations 💯

[@haithamalshaikh9361]

Good stuff Melo and Mero. Been watching Melo postup powerhouse on youtube for months now.

One of the realest takes I've heard on Zion.

[@reggiethecommenter9137]

1:32 This man is from South Carolina where this is what they do. They eat.”😂😂😂

[@TruthSpeaker4]

😂😂😂 Melo 2 real wit it

[@gabesoto9301]

Melo’s right about Zion coming into the league but also let’s keep in mind that he’s not 19-20 anymore. He’s 23 with a max contract, like now it’s on you man. The Pelicans have a good squad, but it’s ultimately on Zion to get them to that next level. And that requires him to be in shape, stay as healthy as possible and dominate like he’s supposed to.

[@thecoolguy010]

I hope that the Pelicans FO has Zion watch this on repeat. Take life lessons from the OGs that have BEEN THERE!

[@melgray019]

If zion don't take the advice I sure definitely will...This advice will work in people's everyday life not just for athletes..Shot out to Melo 💯

[@killgronia5815]

This one bout to blowup. High quality podcast 🔥🔥🔥

[@ACE_1311]

Best show ever

[@Visionary13]

Melo 💯💯💯💯

[@ElTuco84]

I think its also about who is Zion surrounded with. If he's surrounded with people that don't challenge him and don't help him to focus he won't get disciplined. He's still immature and naive, and he needs to be surrounded with mature people that call him out when he goes off track. Edit: I see Melo mentions it at the end of the video, Melo is a wise man.

[@Potts2700]

I'm not challenging Zion that kids tooo big lol

[@jkg_1985]

Great Advice Melo 😤💪

[@derrickcooper-u6r]

Melo is a straight NBA prophet! A lot of young players should reach out to him!

[@Rqs79]

THIS is who Zion should listen to. Not fans or the "Stephen A. Smiths" of the world.

[@PTO_Finesse]

He dropped jewels, the behind the scenes that us fans wouldn’t understand, the Meta

[@spydakidd21]

Exactly! Exactly what Mello said is how you loose weight! Is how you stop any addiction. Every day do your best todo less of vice!

[@purecharm3]

[@Marx1684]

The segments are hitting me more than long form. I’m usually long form on podcasts. Not sure why. Sharing for market research & all that. Wanna see y’all win. More.

[@PTO_Finesse]

I remember walking down the street in the hood (Detroit) and the OG stopped me mad af and said “I seen Melo in they Jordan commercial, he’s supposed to be ripped up” if it’s anybody that can help find that balance and still be a HOF it’s number 15/7

[@Nobility731]

Every time I look at Carmelo it look like he can still play, and i remember how he cooked Giannis Antetokounmpo was crazy

[@bosstaylor1112]

[@kenkooly]

I really like how Melo, mellows out Mero. Pause

[@NY-Vice]

Zion is in year 5 of his NBA career, signed a 200 million dollar 5 year extension, and yet we're still here talking about if he actually cares enough to reach his potential 🤦‍♂🤦‍♂ The writing has been on the wall a while now.

[@jinxxx336]

[@joejett5084]

There’s 3 body types. Ectomorph: This is when the body is lean and slender and tends to have less body fat and muscle. Endomorph: This is when the body has more stored fat, lots of muscle, and gains weight easily. ... Mesomorph: This is when the body is athletic and strong. Zion is definitely a mesomorph. I’m a ectomorph and can 2 whole pizzas and lift like crazy and at 230 I look 215-220. With zion he has to have a strict diet. He can’t think about dairy and carbs without gaining 20 pounds. He rich, young and got women chasing him. Got to lock in or it will be over quick.

[@Aircheekz]

yep. im also a ectomorph... Zion needs a REAL expert nutritionist on his team. unfortunately all that mainstream diet advice is BS so unless he discovers the truth (no not BS veganism) he will struggle with this for a while imo

[@equinoxnemesis6170]

What kind of shoes does mero have on?

[@rickymalcolm9634]

Juuuuuhuuuuurrrddd

[@Odyssei13]

Carmelo need 2 work with zion so he can develop a jumpshot

[@gramfishburnetv]

Zion is Rich Already,He Ain't Trying to Hear Nothing,Until he Is 1 Foot Out the NBA. When he sees it's all About to Disappear,He Might Wakeup and Say Time to Work.

[@KKOPPONG]

People gotta stop behaving like staying in shape is difficult. Eat right and exercise an hour in your day. Athletes like Zion started working hard in school because they set themselves apart from their peers way back. Being in the league with more money makes staying in shape easier. You now have better trainers, a chef to induce the heat possible diet for you…we can say Zion is young and it’s pressure but pressure doesn’t stop you from eating healthy and pressure doesn’t stop you from working out in your own home gym during the offseason. Let’s stop making excuses when there’s players who embrace the pressure.

[@MaxVolumeHD]

Anyone know where to get that melo jacket lol

[@thekongstocks]

Clown shop or corn store

[@sixtocabralcontreras7884]

I know they are not the same player obviously but he should go and listen to Giannis in terms of "physical advices" but he's the only person who can do those changes

[@antno_2064]

But he’s him, he ain’t bron, the fact that people prefer to compare him to bron is ridiculous! Like, he’s him,

[@dalcow1101]

As a fat boy that fluctuates in weight - I understand - cut down on the portions - Zion needs to want it

[@emoburger42069]

I earnestly believe if Zion was drafted to a big market team he would’ve bought in by now. Like if he was on the Knicks or Lakers he would control his weight and live up to the potential. It’s too late now

[@michaelisaac4439]

Has nothing to do with the organization it’s his mentality if he doesn’t want to get in shape that’s a him problem going to a different place isn’t gonna change the person he is now if he wants harsher treatment to motivate him then I say ask for a trade to NY or LA

[@emoburger42069]

@@michaelisaac4439 i agree. He lacks the discipline first, but i think it’s exacerbated by him not buying in with the Pelicans franchise future

[@michaelisaac4439]

@@emoburger42069 my thing is he doesn’t have to buy in being the pelicans center piece but you should want to ball out and been healthy for yourself and your future if he’s not a fan of the pelicans organization then that’s understandable but he’s messing up potential deals by not being at his peak conditioning shape people talked about how joker was overweight but it never tanked his play on the court

He is a professional athlete. Not a teenage girl. He isn't being body shamed. His conditioning is terrible.

I completely understand the eating part bc I eat Chick-fil-A a lot but if I had money like Zion ts would be my breakfast🤣I’m 20 tho

[@mandladludlu8359]

Melo right. I wish he could advice Zion tho....

[@estherstephens1858]

It’s sad that “fans” want a better Zion than Zion wants for Zion. I said this on another channel but if Zion doesn’t lose weight or get in shape for his career do it for your health. Also, as for all the attention and hype that comes with #1 draft picks can be said about ALL of #1 draft picks. Look at what we said about Wemby coming in. Wemby needs to put on some muscle. He did.

[@renaissanceyoungtv2.0]

Dude mero fucked the bag with Desus. Bow he a co host of the Carmelo show lol. When they said you winning buy you went backwards now you gotta work extra harder not smarter. That not understatement smh. Disclaimer work smart not hard. Pause. Don't let that go over your headz

[@elvingallard7255]

Zion needs to change his lifestyle not just go on a diet for a couple of months. It has to be a lifestyle change. He looks like Shaq with the Celtics at 23.

[@thekongstocks]

Shawn Kemp w/ the Cavs

[@Virtualcritic111]

The “superstar” narrative is the reason why teams don’t win

[@Alystradaawn]

That's good and all Zion is a good guy but my thing is , why can't they have more than one face for the nba, with all the teens that the NBA have it should be more than just one man carrying on that torch because I don't think it's fair for them to give it to just one person, because they draft more than one person. And there's a lot of talent, great talent in the NBA today so it shouldn't be just one man carrying that torch for the whole NBA.

[@makedredd299]

Mmmm… 🍔 🍗 🥤

[@powdernitz]

does dude wanna average 20? or does dude wanna be great? cuz he can average 20 and be lazy af. he's so gifted in that way. but dude got cooked by bron. lookin mortal. dude's in a league full of gifted cats, so what separates them? the gifted who work. who grind. kobe was always puttin in work. Bron's puttin in work. you wanna be great? you wanna be like kobe and bron? it takes EXTRA work. but dude may not want greatness. may just want to average 20 points. 50 games a season. 6 rebounds. and make millions while eatin his way through the south. it's the key to all things: YOU GOTTA WANT IT.

Hope Zion starts taking shit more seriously. Yeah, he's still in his early 20's. But he's had a ton of injuries. And it ain't gonna get any easier to keep that weight off as he gets older.

[@angrybird2107]

How did Lebron survive the hype and comparisons?

[@Ril014]

60% is him being a different breed, 40% of it is not coming up in a social media dominated time period, where he could still have the peace to work on his game and not have criticism constantly thrown on his plate from all directions.

He had the same pressure as any other top pick an im uh pelicans fan ja had pressure 2 but his pipe ant bust he lived up to it zion hasnt so far
