The SCARY Truth About Zion Williamson Nobody Is Noticing...

Zion Williamson was once hyped up as the next face of the NBA, but injuries and weight issues derailed his promising career early on. Lets unpack how Williamson turned things around this season, shedding pounds and regaining his dominant form to lead the Pelicans back into the playoffs.

[@iliasmeek5259]

Zion is the only player that everyone knows can be the face. Just has to be healthy and it’s no question.

[@mrgarykasperov]

He’s incredible. The only question is engagement… that’ll show up off the court, by doing the conditioning necessary to be exceptional, and on the court with his play. We’ve also gotta realize that Zion is very young. He’s learning how to be an adult while learning to be the face of the franchise. That’s a big burden.

[@pancho8708]

no one notices Zion bc hes always hurt and never plays

[@cycleoflife565]

He just played 70+ games this past season.

[@patricklewis2199]

​@@cycleoflife565 and got hurt and didn't play.

[@cycleoflife565]

@@patricklewis2199 Go ahead and focus on the negatives and ignore any progress that he’s made.

12:52 crazy touch to finish that basket 😮😮

[@SpaceGhost-wx9sw]

There isn't one face of the league there are a bunch of faces the NBA is too talented for it to be just one face

Nailed it

[@mont-doggBeats]

How TF he a versatile perimeter player when he doesn’t shoot 😂

[@DYLAN-sq5cm]

ANTMAN WITHOUT THE SKILL SET,HEART AND DISCIPLINE

[@Nilloth]

Without health*

[@richborn6700]

Anthony Edwards is everything the league hoped and hyped Zion Williamson to be in a #1 pick

[@jaymiller9254]

Still my favorite player

[@roberttallafer2299]

No one mentions Zion's hip/eg alignment as a contributor to his injuries. His right leg is out of alignment, very obvious with the way he waddles when he walks(kind of fitting of a Pelican).

[@theraVen27]

23. Lots of time for anything to happen. I don’t get the hype but I wish this kid all the best.

[@joe._.575]

good vid

[@ernestofraijo1418]

When Zee develops a mid or persistent 3 he will make the defenders come out so he can have easier buckets at rim ...and less probability to be injured all the time...but has he been injured too much?

[@Angen77]

I don't think it's just the eating.. and even if it is then he can get counseling and couching on that... talk to Tom Brady's people.. i think it's more about the injury and losing some mobility and confidence.. it really sucks that he got an injury early... hoping he doesn't go the way of Derick Rose who was on his way to having a career similar to Dwayne Wade, but was never the same after his injury. Even with all this Zion is still one of the top 5 all time in points per 36 minutes. (behind Jordan, Joel Embiid). if zion is in shape and healthy.. he's unstoppable.

[@slobberkissintl3548]

They always look at ft% to tell if someone can shoot.
I think with Zion you look at rebounds.
If he's not over 9 or ten rebounds, he didn't try

[@stevelau7694]

Guess if you are around 300lbs, just fall out of breath quickly to chase after that many rebounds. Not like victor wembanyama who's the tallest longest wingspan but also skinny player who gets rebound just by having an enormous reach and be super mobile

[@mrgarykasperov]

I disagree. He’s not a traditional big man. He’s actually a point guard. When the Pel’s offense runs through him, it’s unstoppable.

[@patricklewis2199]

​@@mrgarykasperovunstoppable but when truly ran thru him with BI out we went 7-5 in the last 12 games only beating playin teams or worst and dropped from 4th seed with BI and Z to 8th seed with just Z. But go on.

[@ckcayago4905]

Scary truth about Zion? Or the scary truth about his injuries?

[@T1Oracle]

Zion still needs to lose weight.

[@RobertLegereIII]

I hope so, brother. I can't take another Zion let down. We have been faithful and kept up our morale, as best we can but what happened last season was the ultimate tease and letdown. I hope he comes back stronger than ever, this upcoming season and FINISHES strong because if he gets hurt again or some other nonsense, I will officially be off the wagon.

[@jonathanmillner]

Flash in the pan.

[@patricklewis2199]

Single handedly carried the pels to the playoffs huh? With two other players averaging 20+. Outstanding perimeter player you say? Although he cant and wont shoot 3s. And he played 77 games? Actually it was 70 and didnt play in the playoffs again. Got it this channel is not about facts.

[@librasRgreat]

Zion is not the face..he doesnt know who he is. Actaully let me say it like this, hes discoveeing who he is. Its obvious when u watch him and see him in interviews compared to when he was in college. And thats ok. But he would implode in a bad way if they tried to make him carrt that mantle. Not to mention his heatlth. He is struggling on being the face of a franchise let alone the whole league

[@williamgrierson4133]

Doesn't have the personality.

[@joshuahensworth9670]

Tell me you don’t watch Zion without telling me you watch Zion

[@knicksfan4752]

Zion has to be the worst teammate in the league! All he does is give up on his team when it counts every year. His injury history is atrocious. I would hate to be his teammate.

[@matthewcooper295]

yea ok bud

[@jacobdonikowski2452]

he’ll get a real PG and the floor won’t be as closed with BI gone

[@Professional_Lube_Job]

Bronny james is a better player

[@ghostamity5116]

You believe that?

[@Professional_Lube_Job]

@@ghostamity5116 fuck no it was a joke. bronnt sucks ass

[@mjsup1]

Stop saying LBJ is the GOAT, makes you sound stupid or subject to recency bias. Just one of the greatest you cover your basis and makes you sound more enlightened. Other then that pretty good. Oh, and you were showing high school when showing college defensive highlights .

[@josephmadigan3142]

You calling leflop the goat is the reason I stopped watching that second. SMH learn your basketball history and who the goat really is
