Unc said something profound that just got to me. We create these demons, we need to chase them away. Changing my lifestyle and losing my weight starting now.
Uhuh…. Like some guy in a video is going to convince you.
I'm going to cook some bacon,grits,and toast. Carry on.
All i'll say is it's a marathon not a sprint and don't let minor set backs keep you off the path. Stay consistent and persistent and you'll achieve your goals and your future self will thank you because you'll feel better and look better.
Good luck on that journey man! You got it!!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽💪🏾💪🏾
Ignore the haters. Just dont give up when you have a setback. I lost 100lbs trust me, its a marathon not a sprint
“To get something you’ve never had, you have to do something you’ve never done before.” - Gil 🔥
Yeah, I liked that too😄
Thats some truth! ✌🏾
Talking heavy
Stolen quote from Jim Rohn lol
sacrifices, this is in the bible
Now I know why ocho cinco isn’t here tonight. He’s gonna say Zion just needs to eat McDonald’s everyday. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
lmao yup ocho would have been such an elaborate troll. "let that man eat his mcdonalds with his oj and he'll be good"
lol. He did say that. He told unc, “I can train him” 😂😂😂
People said after he dropped a career high 36 points that shut up the doubters... and then the very next game didnt play due to injury 🤣🤣. Also his career high being only 36 in this offensive era is crazy.
Season high 36 points bro, his career high is 43. Has scored 36 or more 10 times
his durability is gonna be shit if he doesn’t get his weight under control
Pshhh 🥷 please
@@discostew420 "next lebron" they said... and we talkin bout a dude who can't even get in shape. 300 pounds and bro avging the same rebounds as stephen curry
@@zType2they said it he didn’t lmao he can’t control what people say
The fact that he had a huge weight issue during the season shows how metabolism isn’t very high. Gonna take a lot more work from Zion.
He got a max contract while he wasn’t even playing 🤷🏾♂️ he has no incentive to change. I wouldn’t either, he got the bread
Some people want to be a champion, some don't. You don't want it,maybe he doesn't either. Not everyone is meant to be great...
He’s got weight clauses in his contract so If he doesn’t change he’s not getting all his money
True. NO expectations in NOLA
@@NoName-jg8qw it’s what you consider great. It’s a team sport, if you earn a max contract that’s the individual validation you play for. A champion is just something the media and the league’s need to justify what they play for. Don’t fool yourself sir. This is America, land of capitalism. It’s always about the money player. But, I respect your opinion. I’m not saying I’m right or you are wrong. Our views can differ, respectfully.
We gotta stop coddling these players Zion is a professional athlete and gets paid to play a sport how hard could it be to keep his diet under control
Apparently hard for him.
Do you have the same standards for yourself….are you excelling in your professional career? And if not you need to be we have to hold ourselves to the same standards in which we hold others
It has nothing to do with coddling or a widespread issue it’s just Zion, he has a weight issue, young players like ant, Halliburton, maxey, sengun, and Scottie Barnes are doing just fine
Man prime example is shaq it’s a sad case
You need to learn how to use punctuation. This is basic grammar from elementary school. Hope you can take that criticism.
Crazy how 6’7 285 in the NFL with his athleticism would be a problem. In basketball they like he’s out of shape. Just crazy how different conditioning wise you have to be as a hooper.
Yup dude playing the wrong sport 😆
He played basketball cuz was soft . That big
They wouldn’t be able to stop him on the field lol imagine him on the line 😭😭😭
Naa he'd be gassed real damn quick in a nfl game in my opinion u have to have alot more conditioning to play in the nfl as your running and playing more than u would be in the nba but that's my opinion he out of shape also no te or wr was close to 300 lb he is a OL
Zion makes me appreciate Charles Barkley even more. Barkley overcame the same issue and averaged 27 and 12 for 10 straight years + an MVP
He didn't average that for 10 years 😂
Man STOP LYING
@@sportsmedia9647from 86-95 Barkley was around 23ppg 11rebs
Zion already said if the criticism comes from a good place, he welcomes it. If it doesn't, he can't control what someone else says anyway.
He is a multi millionaire who didn't earn it in the NBA.... why the need to talk nice to him? He wasn't shy being a simp over the summer.
It’s no way he shouldn’t be in shape. He’s rich and can hire a chef and personal trainers to follow him around 24/7. He don’t love basketball like that.
“When the chef leave he got Uber eats” 😂
I was hating at first when I didn’t see Ocho but Gil is good too for basketball topics. Imma be open minded 🤣
🤣😂 Me Too🤣😂🤣 looks like Unc knows what he's doing🤣😂🤣😂
We will wait but Ocho better come back after his vacation ❤
ive said it before... people are too much in their feelings so they become defensive and not willing to LISTEN. there is a difference with HEARING and LISTENING. right now Zion is hearing but not listening.
Wow Gil had a whole different take of this Zion situation on his own show...Guess he understands Sharp isn't a moron & will agree with anything he says like he's cohosts on his show..
Exactly dude fake as hell
Well at the time Zion was on his show, Zion was in better shape. Like he said, Zion has gained noticeable weight from the summer till now
at one point it looked like Zion was getting his weight under control but now it's looks like that's not the case. people are allowed to change their minds on him.
@@andrewshaw8080 the show was 2 days ago goofy
Keep bringing Gil on here. This is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It’s okay to give someone advice from a place of love! The problem comes in when you mix in the fat jokes 😢
When you do a job, you are expected to do it to the best of your ability every time. If you don't you will be judged and criticized until you get it right or they let you go
Yet 99 percent of people don't live that in their own lives. Stop it
@@jamesball8519 if people want to be lazy so be it but don't complain when someone criticizes you
@@jamesball8519 Stop what? He’s a professional athlete that’s not in shape. That’s literally his job. How he treat his body will either make or break him. So far it’s broken him. Multiple times.
I agree with gil. If the media dont say nothing. Its like they condoning it. They care bra. Nobody is against zion. Especially shaq and charles. They see themselves in zion. They went through there own struggles. They care. The man is too talented to let it go to waste. I hope he get his self together.
The team needs to enforce his weight penalties in his contract to protect the organization.
You can't renegotiate his current existing contract unless he agrees to it, and you know that ain't happening. I'm SURE it's gonna be in his next one tho 😂
Than the worst part Zion in the wrong city to have an eating issue and trying to lose weight. New Orleans is not the place to live trying to lose weight. I grew up there, so I know lol. Couldn't lose weight to save my life. Soon as I moved, I went from 250lbs to 180lbs in less than 2 years.
Why though? Is the food good there? Name a restaurant I'm tryna see something.
The food is amazing there! Most restaurants and also local cooks/ neighbors. The people there love to cook and love to share their food. New Orleans has the best food ever
@Ausnapify Mainly because of the hospitality and culture. Everyone cooking, it is a city but most local know of each others.. Everyone cooking in their home inviting you to get a plate. Restaurants are cheap and give large portions of food. It's hard to go to someone home and their grilling salmon, streaks and shrimp and you turn it down.
@@djelliott3158 Good grief!!! That's what I'm talking bout!
It's sad that he's doing this to himself so young and with so much promise and potential! I pray he gets it together. I feel Gilbert and Shannon are DEF qualified to speak on this btw
Zion is making millions and refuses to lose the weight needed to be there for his team.. criticism is needed
We talking about him like he’s not hooping lol yeah he could lose some weight but it hasn’t stopped him from playing well .
I think Gil may be right, he may have adhd (typically treated with adderall), anxiety, or depression. He may have an underlying issue that he needs a different kind of assistance in order to manage better. He may have to deal with his internal so he can have the strength to address his external.
Zion has league MVP talent. Someone like LeBron needs to take him to the side in the offseason and show him how its done.
Imagine if Zion was we a defensive tackle or defensive end
Look at shaq. Shaq would be the first to admit if he had kobe or lebrons mentality to keep himself in shape he would be arguably the most dominant player of all time. His name would be in the convo with jordan and lebron.
These problems with the rookies and young guys is showing how little vets they actually keep in the league
That you have good vets like Russ that fans are hoping gets kicked out the league it’s weird lol
This duo❤️🔥❤️🔥Unc n Gil
Y'all are spot on
"When the chef leaves he got Uber Eats"🤦🏾♂️ WiiiiLD 😆😂
Hard to believe someone who plays in the NBA lacks discipline. Imagine if he did all the right things.
Portions are a problem, it's hard for most people to even conceptualize it too. Just try to eat based on the suggested serving size for every meal, for just ONE day!! Most people would freak out.
The biggest example of this is cereal if you actually weighed the 30g or 45g you would be shocked how little it is
Tbh what Zion needs is lean protein sources healthy fats (the avocado route not the corn oil route lol) good carbs but most importantly any snacks he has must be high volume less calorie dense snacks, this can be so delicious as well if you know how to season
No one has ever gotten fat snacking on Strawberries lol
But yeah portion control is the downfall of many, it’s the downfall of me at times but I try keep it in check I’m like 5’11 215lbs
@@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1 yeah your right! Especially about the types of snacks, and it can get tricky. Like I LOVE cashews BUT One ounce (28g) of raw, unsalted cashews has 157 calories!!😵 and that's a fist full as a suggested serving size.
@@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1 Great post by the way👍🏾
And he’s in New Orleans lol the food down there is heavenly which makes it harder for him
@@alfredjohnson4330 I feel you I love nuts but whilst great for getting your healthy fats and some protein too I can get through a pack in like 20mins lol
Great for bulking though when that’s a goal
Honey roasted cashew nuts mixed with almonds are always my go to
Here is the thing... Regardless of his weight he made it to the league so all the critics in shape at home watching him should feel bad. He was big as a rookie and all the talk was about " how he can do this and that at his size is just amazing"... But now its a problem. If the people criticizing him dont have credentials in his field then they should shut the fuck up if they are critiquing him from their healthy coach
The real solution is getting him out of New Orleans.
The food in New Orleans is out of this world delicious. And when you have the money to eat whatever you want, it's a bad combination.
Some medications containing steroids will cause weight gain. We may not know his personal health information. Is it truly food related? 🤷♀️
Same as I've been saying. He looks like he has thyroid issues that's making him eat more.
He can't live with LeBron, he not ready for THAT level of conditioning and discipline
Agent zero!!!!!!! Lets gooo!!!!
( Bubba Ray Dudley voice) Zion EAT THE TABLE!!😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Sugar and bad food can be an addiction dawg, got to really go through a full mental transformation
You can eat anything ! do quantity of it its what matters. (ideally as a pro athlete , it matters _what_ too, but more how much ). You can't outtrain your nutrition!! People want Zion do his best. We all love people doing their best !!
Shannon should have shown this much sympathy to little Johnny he still can’t read .
Zion is the Luther Vandross of the NBA
But Luther lost weight.
@@jenkericj And always performed exceptionally well .
@@M-Cherian and Zion been putting up 30 plus so what's the issue?
Please be mindful that he maybe struggling with a serious weight problem. Blunt harsh criticism may make it worse.
Then stay home and cry to your mommy.
Toughen up mentally
He came to training camp in just good enough shape to get that max contract. With all that money guaranteed, all bets are off. Apparently the weight clause in the contract is weak.
911 whats your emergency: ??
LeBron: Hi, My name is LeBron James and theres a crazy man Camping outside of my house.
911: Do you have a Description?
LeBron: Its Zion Willimson and he wont leave!
You can do jambalaya and ettouffee with cauliflower rice
That boy eating from all the restaurants, he's their employee of the month every month.
Sorry, cant get w/ unc on this one, people dont really care. SAS making jokes about seeing a belly isnt because he cares. Folks that really care reaching out to buddy personally to try to rap with him and provide guidance.
I love how Gil is on here now just want ocho on the episode too when we get Gil I can’t wait I bet it’s gonna be real funny now
Stop paying paying someone money like that and they will have to show out to get it....
NBA need a weight or BMI clause in contracts
u guys so right u can eat as much as u like but stop eating the bad stuff
"IM NOT THE PERSON YOU SHOULD PUT ON SPEAKER PHONE "
Zion never wanted to play for that team. Maybe his doing the C.B. treatment gain so much weight until they trade you or don't want you anymore.
No other teams really want him at this point, there's an article on it
you all should take a look at the Brazilian star Ronaldo (R9) and stop piling on the dude. people like Shannon are talking about it because it's content that makes money for you. if you all care get with the dude behind closed doors and stop publicly shame the dude. done with this as content and go help the dude.
this is way better than 85 that guy talks just to talk he sounds all good but i see thru that shit. ga is a real one.
what do you mean?
Gil isn’t a replacement, he’s an addition.
Like when he says shit like he can do a bunch of reps 220 on bench. It might have been way more than 220 but that shit is like ok fuck off. I like Chad he means good and is a good guy but man the shit he says sometime is like stop it.
5:05 personal accoutavility
It ain’t just food it’s definitely alcohol involved i know alcohol weight gain when I see it i know from experience thank God I turned it all around 🙏🏿
During the pandemic I lost a lot of weight because I wasn’t working in a bar and I wasn’t drinking the stock supply lmao
People never equate liquid calories into their daily calories 1unit (10ml) of Alcohol is 70 calories so a double shot of Hennessy is already 140calories *just* from the alcohol content and not flavourings sugars etc etc
@@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1what about a patronessy? 😂😂😂
@@BigMac785 in a double shot of Patron silver 50ml it contains 196 calories
It’s actually crazy when you realise it if you be doing shots you can easily drink 1000+ calories without realising
@@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1facts bro alcohol help me gain over 80 lbs at a point my life plus battling depression im glad God gave me the strength to get back on track and under control
He hasn't been criticized enough. But he should be hearing it from management & his team mates. That's who he's letting down.
Gil is sick of Zion's shit cause he came on his podcast trying to convince him he was gonna do better and use LeBron's blueprint as far as diet/exercise. He knew Zion was cappin but still
Bars Gil!!!
Since people think part of the problem is he doesn’t want to be there, send him to Miami. Pat Riley and the Heat culture will have weight checks, and he won’t have a choice. If he doesn’t want a better body send him somewhere where a better body is the only way to play.
He's already made his 100 million. He might only cared about the money.
That’s on him, stop caring about him, if he doesn’t want to improve his conditioning and get his weight under control he will jeopardize his career and we will be on to the next star
Cajun food is the BOMB, can't blame zion
The realest spill I done heard. Lebron c’mon I’m staying with you all summer. Let’s go!
I’m glad you brought Gilbert on the show,mad at myself for not liking him for no real reason🤦🏿♂️
Tell him to take Ozempic, that drug all the celebrities take. 😂
It's a business and he is a product so of course the criticism is justified. People are invested in his performance
Him missing gms isn’t a direct reflection or his training or weight if that were true why does CP3 get hurt so much
Yes i know its both and i say boaf. Shannon got me on that one.
Zion came into camp in phenomenal shape last summer and flamed out quickly. The plan this summer was to take it easier and gradually ramp up throughout the season. Everything is going as planned. As a Pels fan I’ll take Zion being slightly out of shape in December if it means he’s still on the court and in excellent shape in May. Sit back and take notes.
He should cut bait on the nba and just go be and nfl edge rusher
Them chefs in New Orleans definitely 👎🏿 this one Unc 😂
How about asking zion to his face why he isn't disciplined enough to stay in shape and go from there, instead of just critiquing him just to get views. I agree he needs to be and do better from a fans perspective, but yall just gossiping
Barkley averaged 25 and 10 while being 280😂 whats the point ? Zion still ballin
Louisiana food will do it to you. Lol. The food is everywhere and it’s good.
If the weight was the reason he was out games, then why are other players out? Is weight has nothing to do with him missing games. Fitness trainers die young daily.
Being paid millions of dollars wherein being in shape is part of the job and the dude is struggling which impacts his availability and performance. He can easily hire a chef to make healthy food tasty and a trainer who stays on his ass for him to burn more than he is eating.
This is in the organization. If I am paying a player millions of dollars. That’s an investment and I need a return on my investment. He’s staying longer for practice and he’s going to work on cardio and burning fat. I remember seeing an interview with Michael Phelps ate up to 10k calories but he would burn those calories in his work out. This is what the Pelicans have to do with Zion. He’s going to eat so as a result his daily routing has to be burning calories. Up at a particular time. He has to understand his routine is going to be different than the rest of the team. As the owner I can and will demand this.
He got a max deal while barely playing games lol no incentive to change
Exactly! He already got the carrot stick. No more incentive for him. He ain’t like Steph, Lebron, KD, Giannis, Jokic, etc… who aren’t satisfied with just the paycheck
Why is it so hard for him to count macros?
Damn is Gil just a guest while Ocho is unavailable or is this just a guest appearance period?
It could be to talk hoops only
He’s gonna be on to talk hoops from time to time
Gil is doing Nightcap for basketball while Ocho does football.
@@KasanovaKee325thank you for the update because if Ocho was gone so was I ❤
I heard you
Yooo....where's Ochocinco?? Don't start trippin.
Where the F is Ocho? Man I hope Shay doesn’t get any ideas of floating hosts.. I’ll bounce quick for real.. everyone else is like that which is why I bought into their show. That’s how much entertainment those 2 brought..
Unc gotta realize that saying stuff like you look like you went to a buffet and ate the buffet isn't tough love and encouragement 😂😂 its definitely true....but dont try to play it off like it was because you cared or feel taken back because he responds to it lol
You think the soft responses will work? He needs the harsh criticism because he has the potential to be a world beater, and he's far below that standard
Facts it really be undercover jealousy from the old heads
Leave Zion alone! And let him eat in peace! Some people are into hip-hop, some IHOP
You had me in the first half...
He not even doing back to backs.
Genetics , thyroid or other issues cause weight gain . Not all food
Don’t like Gil addition NO!!!
Man avg 22.9 ppg, 5.5 rpg and 4.7 apg playing 31 mpg like damn give him a break. He dropped 36 next game and won and his team would be in the playoffs if it started today. I swear SAS be gasing yall ninjas up smh.
Bro in 4 years he won't be anywhere near that because his weight is gonna get him injured that's what people are harping on zion if zion was in lebron or giannis type physique and shape bro would be average 30+points 10 boards and like 5 assists easy
Funny how clowns 🤡 hating Zion. But Zion don't use💉 Zion don't have fake hairline or fake teeth or fake hips or hair color
We gotta critic Zion cuz he has potential to b one of the best in the league but he doesn’t live up to it
I seen Shaq and Luka lose weight and get in shape during the season
You never seen that from shaq stop
Luka just lost weight this summer because his big behind was getting roasted because he was losing wind out there keeping the pace with KAI [ kyrie] and the other players.
@@kimberlybecoatstudio7020 it seem like since 2nd year he been playing his way into shape during the season this year was different came to camp in shape
Zion needs David Goggins. 🤣
I gotta do boaf!
Zion would be a nasty DE or TE
I want zion to win. Yeah he's not right at the same time its baby weight to he has two kids on the way.
Is Chad no longer on the show?
That’s what I want to know. Did I miss the episode when they added this guy? Maybe Ocho is on vacation and will be back real soon.❤
If im getting paid mill a season i be looking like michael b jordan no kap
