The Move Zion Williamson NEEDS To Make To SAVE His Career

[@yunginglo]

man new orleans ain't the problem, yall making that a scapegoat for a ninja thats been unprofessional

[@kingdavid8657]

New Orleans has been a problem. They just keep getting a pass. They had this same issue with AD. Great player when he plays but always hurt. So while it's easy to say it's Zion's eating Zion not the only star that has been in NO that has dealt with injuries. And the attention is on Zion but Brandon Ingram struggling to play 60 games.

[@blazerthedon]

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@YouTubeTroll86]

Blaming NO is ridiculous. No matter where he go it will be food everywhere. It’s him that has to change, all mental.

[@Insane_king713]

That's like saying a player who has a drug problem playing in Portland isn't a problem 🤷🏾‍♂️ of course it's mental bro but being in certain areas is a disadvantage

[@YouTubeTroll86]

@ horrible example. Doesn’t matter where he goes, it’s him vs him.

[@ma-kendy5108]

He should come to Miami😂😂

[@dontaysmith9074]

Ofc it’s him silly. No matter what was happening he is always in charge of him but what they are saying is clearly he can’t handle being around this environment and the coaching staff over there isn’t enough to keep him on the right track. Ultimately it is him but a move may help. Don’t disagree with you but to act as if environmental influences won’t have an impact on a young human is a little weird. We get old and forget what youth is like. 😂😂

[@abayomikelvin5153]

An alcoholic looking to change might find it difficult if they’re working at a bar

[@mont-doggBeats]

😂😂 imagine acting like New Orleans is a big distraction but thinking he can handle new york or Los Angeles 😂. Spoken like a bunch of tourists. Why the rest of the team still skinny. Why saints players can monitor their weight and don’t need weight clauses

[@YetiCoolBrother]

"Why the rest of the team all skinny" 😂😂

[@tmanfargo]

Brandon Ingram 😂

[@SunniMerlot]

New Orleans is good food no matter where you go. New York you have to actually know a spot cause it’s over 40000 different spots to eat

[@bighawaii]

@@SunniMerlottrue but good and good for you are two different things.

[@mont-doggBeats]

@ new york has some very high calorie , fatty foods, like those large pizza slices, hoagies, chopped cheese

[@paulcoulonjr]

Why doesn’t any other professional athlete have any problems with maintaining their weight? New Orleans has an NFL and NBA team and no one else seems to have any problems

It’s not about the city, Zion isn’t accountable responsible or disciplined.

[@theskyguy2352]

Not everyone can or should play in New York or LA. But for someone with a weight issue, New Orleans is probably the worst small market you can be in. Coming from someone who also consumes too much food and booze living in New Orleans

[@LeetraviusMcKay-q6m]

It’s about accountability, responsibility, and discipline all things in which Zion lacks.

[@quincyjackson4377]

Yeahh yall post Katrina residents def don't know how to act in the city. Need calm tf down , and besides that, neither the food nor booze forced you to go to it

[@TrillVilla5]

There's the point most ignore. What exactly is there to do in New Orleans that doesn't involve food and liquor?

[@corpyhogan4433]

I'm not trying to hear that small market use. LeBron James was 10 times the prospect Zion was and he got his start in a small market and became famous worldwide. Market size doesn't determine whether you'll be a star or not. Your work ethic and drive does

[@ogalebogale]

Horford coming to boston was Massive! And I'm not even talking about what he does on the court, that's obvious. It was the locker room and gym professionalism that took bostons young guys to the next level. Having a Vet like him or Iggy for the Warriors is a lot bigger than the average nba watcher realizes.

[@themoneyman1752]

The problem is its not a big time market, Zion is the type of player that has to be motivated by the atmosphere he plays in that's why he wanted to be a Knick so bad

[@ONeilRussell-l3c]

This is the quietest I have ever seen this group. They don't even know what to say about this situation anymore. I feel pretty much the same

[@keithhughes1681]

It doesn't matter where he goes they still have a place to eat. He'll find somewhere to eat regardless of his location. He just doesn't care anymore because he got his money

[@tronwilliams8781]

Zion has never had to control his eating habits till he came into the league. Zion was known for eating a whole pizza and drinking a entire 2Liter at one sitting coming out of college.

[@NathanT-y7d]

I can do that too, and I only weigh 160

[@MookieTolliver]

Alot you see what AD went through there with his injuries

[@AngeloMorales-u1e]

Discipline doesn’t just magically show up when you move somewhere.. where you go, your problems go. If he’s got a food problem how the hell is moving to LA or SA going to change that?

[@jaykeem0]

Need to replace those 5 teams on the thumbnail with 5 types of veggies

[@milihamp7713]

I get what they’re saying, it’s not blaming N.O, pretty much blaming the Pelicans culture, N.O isn’t known for basketball success, FOOTBALL for sure, but Zion Can’t Train like a football player unless you asking him to injure himself more…he needs a change of scenery, Miami, San Antonio, Denver, Golden State type teams

[@GermanC788]

Zion Williamson to GS for Wiggins’s, Kuminga (Sign and trade), and 1st round pick.

[@WriteWhatISee]

He needs to go to OKC. They have the draft picks & assets to not cripple their team getting him. It’s another smaller market team less distractions. Could play well off Shai and they have big men already so he can consistently stay at pf.

[@mrsikes410]

We can’t blame a city for a players decisions 😂😂😂

[@mor3bounce]

yall keep talking bout him eating which it is a problem but the biggest problem is his playing style he plays with pure athleticism every time he gets the ball every game which is gonna lead to injuries he needs to watch and study luka so he can start to playing without so much athleticism like it’s cool to use it in spurts when it’s needed but not every play

[@Maybehiram]

You can put Zion in Uganda w that contract n I can bet my life that mf will find some good eat. This shit got none to do w New Orleans. As if his teammates don't live in the same city n don't have constant weight issues. Way too much excuses for these ppl

They could have expanded that “eat” “Miami” joke lmao I thought they were….i know it wasn’t just me

[@TheFilmSpace1]

NO is TERRIBLE!!! Horrible. They need to cut hair with Zion and rebuild that team.

[@IsomSeales]

Pat Riley would have him monitored 24/7… he wouldn’t even get on the court unless he made target weight

[@B1ackchi]

Food is food. Doesn’t matter where he goes. It’s getting rid of bad habits and he still has it. He’s becoming a yo-yo dieter. Gets slim during summer and then looks big during the season.

[@NYUArchaeology]

Go to Milwaukee. Thannassis and Zion is good rebound energy. For a long time. That paint is owned by them two. And get a different young point guard than d. lillard.

[@chrismerard8161]

The real issue is his Strength to Weight Ratio. He is just not strong enough to support his weight. Its not abnormal for big people to eat alot. What is abnormal is for big people to not Strength train all the time to stay in shape and be stromg as hell.

[@AnDr3w066]

No one is.. he is too heavy for his size

[@WobbleKun]

NO is not the problem but sometimes we just need a change of scenery to get out of the funk. Sometimes it's just some bad juju or we're just stuck in a cycle that's hard to break away from.

[@memphobro]

Of course, Gill was going to say the big markets. These guys have become just like the rest of the talking media heads by wanting to line up all the talent in the big markets.

[@strawhatsanji4985]

Maybe he just needs to get away from being the franchise guy. When you are a franchise player, you think the team is indebted to you. Example Lebron, he does what he wants as a Laker, same way other franchise guys are. But when you're the second or third option, you are more humble because you understand the team don't need you. You need them.

[@Gumbo-77]

Can’t blame my city. Blame self discipline

[@clarencesmith467]

[@Blxck_Love]

He just got to be “hungry” to be great and get some discipline. I believe some players get in the NBA and becomes happy they are rich and don’t care about their legacy! PS they put a weight clause in his contract that’s not right

[@SHAMONDAEREACTS2]

NO isn’t the problem! Put the blame exactly where it should be. He is choosing to be in every situation he’s been in. We know his potential but at some point he is going to put his health at the forefront or it’s a wrap
