It was pretty funny and the picture is how it looked but there is no way to know with that outfit what shape he is in.
thanks for the first-hand account... I would just say the 'shape' is round-er than most would be hoping for. Perhaps it does have a little bit to do with the clothes though.

Whatever type of updates the team is releasing, expect the exact opposite to be happening in reality.

One of the things I was most attracted to Zion was his humble personality, (seemingly) genuine love for the game, and desire to the great. I'd be lying if I said Zion himself wasn't starting to rub me the wrong way, these days. Showing up fat in inexcusable and just seems like he just really doesn't care to be doing anything at this point. Maybe its New Orleans that has soured his attitude and forced him to rarely make any public statements... who knows? Either way, I've been one of Zion's biggest defenders on here for the last couple years, and even my patience is starting to get thin.

He certainly doesn't owe anything to me. I don't look at my collection as any type of investment vehicle. He's also the sole reason why I tune into the NBA. That being said, when my favorite player is constantly sitting on the bench, the desire to continue building the collection starts to fade.

The cheap prices are nice and I'm happy to scoop up nice stuff at a fraction of where they were last year... but it's not fun collecting a guy who never plays and has seemingly had all the joy sucked out of him.
Too bad it wasn't all the whale blubber!

Why does the Sam Bowie scenario keep making me think Zion is going down the same path ... future star but could never heal properly and basically had a mediocre career

When ordering In-N-Out, instead of the 4x4 go protein style or flying dutchman, or go to panera and eat some soup.

Mount Zion is becoming a rolling hill. Man this is not good. Very young, but foot pain is a problem when you are known for explosion and power. Oh and he is 300 plus lbs.

Chili cheese flavored facials 4 all!

Was skeptical about the claims, but Timothy appears to be the aorta whisperer at ESPN.

Ruh roh lulu.




League fatties put on blast. Still hyped for that 3rd bass reunion tour in 2025.

It’s not official but yeah, he’s definitely looked big and I suspect why he’s always wearing the big clothes. I was actually thinking Zach was more shocked about Luka being 260, cuz Zion being 3 bills was pretty much a “known” thing, but Luka gaining 30 pounds somehow seems worse.

The comments here and on social media are crazy, I can’t imagine being so upset about losing some money on cards that I would go publicly stamp “I’m an #@#@#@#@#@#@#@” all over the internet in as many places as I could find. And most of them are probably fat too.

Edit: lol ninja, Jinx!

I feel like there should be a policy on blowout where if you're going to make fun of an athlete for their weight you need to:

-Post a shirtless pic
-Post your current 40 time
-Post your current mile time
-Post your current 1 rep bench max

If all of these things aren't absolutely pathetic, you're allowed to carry on with the jokes.

There would maybe be 2 people here talking about Zion's weight moving forward if implemented. That number might be overestimating you guys.

Um, isn't being in good shape and being a top tier athlete part of the job of being not just an NBA player but a number one overall pick?

My prime is long gone I’m a athlete and have been a body builder for 35+ years. I would do well if you posed this challenge even 5 years ago but I’m 51 and getting older sucks. I’m still in decent shape I need to lose 20lbs around my waist. The fat shaming does need to stop Zion will get it figured out.

Then he's clueless. Luka looks like a fat giant when going up against PGs this year. He's slow as molasses too.

If there are gate-keeping rules for posting on an internet message board, why stop at poking fun at Zion's weight?

Zero trash talking an organization's front-office decisions unless you have personally owned and managed a professional sports franchise.

Everyone making fun of Ben Simmons not shooting threes should retroactively be insta-banned. Unless you have played in an official NBA game with a 35%+ 3P%, you have no reason to make fun of Ben Simmons.

No more bashing Panini, Topps, UD, or other trading card manufacturers. Unless you were a Chairman or Co-founder of your own trading card company, keep your opinions to yourself.

Let's clean up Blowout together so all posts are solely peer-reviewed opinion and analysis from experts to ensure everyone stays in their lane.
