How often has Zion suffered injuries since he's been in the league? Haven't watched much of the NBA since the 90s.Someone out there give me a heads up when you have time.
You have no clue what you are talking about. First you say over 197 million then 192 million. When in reality the Pelicans can cut him before next season and owe him nothing. So those last 3 years can and should be zero dollars. Let someone sign him for the minimum on a see what you can do. And see if he can stay healthy.
He COULD meet his weight. It just requires to control your food and walk... Just walk. Ive lost 60 pounds in 6 months by walking 10k steps per day and not eating bs food. He just doesn't want to! Ps: I did this while being in the navy and not a multimillionaire whos only job is to look after his body. So he has NO EXCUSE!
He has a body type I have heard described by a offensive lineman I think his name was AQ Shipley. He talked about that there are two different types when you're that big, I'm going to preface this I agree with you. But the two different types are the ones that have to always eat to stay that big or you have the people who just can't keep the weight off, And there is no excuse because even if he was on the football field the guy would have to lose some weight he just gets too big for his body.
@lostnemesis It is true that some rare genetic mutation lets you build more muscle than your frame is built for. Look at the guys in strongman competitions for example. He on the other hand has a junkfood addiction and it is well documented that he does. They don't expect him to slim down to KDs size ffs... Just dont become a ball with legs 🤣
I agree some people’s body’s are different. But if you make it to the league, and play at the level he did, it’s possible to overcome that deficiency. The man just doesn’t want it enough.
“Forcing myself to play basketball and stay in shape” my dude isn’t that the whole job??? If he can’t do that then the pelicans are right in this situation…. He fkd his money up.
he is saying that in contrast to ben simmons who is a worse prospect, doesnt play games and still is making guaranteed bucks. Not that it is hard to play basketball and stay in shape for a professional.
Nah he really just need a boxing trainer… they know how to make sure dudes keep weight off way more than a regular fitness coach.🤷🏾♂️😂😂 but he will never do that because he might be soft
Please do research on that drug and make sure you warn any woman in your family about the issues with it. Cancer and paralyzed stomach are issues popping up
Because his life ceiling goal was to make the NBA, be good on his rookie contract and then be set for life by signing that 5year max contract! Not to be a Hall-Of-Famer, not to leave a statistical legacy and not to win championships
@@ALONZOHARRIS2020 Facts. We are looking at an underachiever setting himself up for life. And I use the term underachiever *very* loosely since just making it to the NBA requires more dedication than most of us have ever had for something.
I remember Carmelo Antony had that same suit one when he got to Houston. Guy sat around all offseason and then was garbage. He left, got back in shape and had a good season the next year on another team. People just don't understand that you need to be in INCREDIBLE shape to compete at the highest levels. You can go from freak athlete to complete joke in like 8 months of sitting around.
Zion's contract should be the norm in the NBA in order to forcefully stop the BS that players like Kawhi or Embiid have been pulling for years! Franchises NEED to be more cut throat to end that stuff.
this take is almost as stupid as your name lol. the players already risk everything for people who make way more than them. this idea that franchises need more money is cucking to billionaires. obviously zion hasnt been healthy but do you think he wants to be injured? he obviously wants to play basketball and help his team win these players are injured. not taking games off for stomach aches
nah i dont think the pels would have done any deal that didnt have that sort of clauses in it. and i mean history did prove them right. the dude just doesnt care to stay fit. he dug his own grave here. he has noone to blame but himself.
@@Florian-yk8vg i totally agree. He's never available to play. What team would guarantee him multimillions of dollars and he is never there to play. I dont blame the pelicans. Zion did do it to himself.Period
I knew Zion when we were 16 in South Carolina. I promise he’s a normal ass kid who just happened to be an athletic freak. Even when he was 16/17 blowing up you could tell he was just just a normal dude without the crazy drive that a lot of those dudes have, he just never really cared that much about it like that
I think Zion could have signed a fully guaranteed contract like Ben Simmons got before the new CBA, but under the second apron rules a bum on a max contract is a franchise ruiner
This was a great constructed vid man that’s crazy I had no idea this was going on with Zion lmao I be watching literally all your vids but this was elite research and reporting. Keep cooking bro 👍🏻
When you were younger, how many guys have you heard say: “before I got married, I could do so much physically” or “I was in great shape” before marriage? I have seen guys who are married w/kids, work 2 jobs who are in great shape. I have seen guys with 1 or 2 jobs who do not have wives or kids, who are in terrible shape. It is obvious some people makes excuses. There is no excuse for a professional athlete to be out of shape.
Those clauses are crazy. If you show up to work half of the time it’s 40% guaranteed. Why would any team ( Especially a contending team like the Knicks) trade for someone so inconsistent? That’s a bad business decision.
As someone born with minimal athletic ability, who still managed to receive multiple D1 athletic scholarship offers for soccer, Zion kinda pissed me off. I couldn’t miss a minute of practice or take one day off of conditioning without my play dropping off. And since I was playing a team sport, not working as hard as possible made me feel like I’d let my teammates down as well. So watching a guy (with big, bouncy titties sitting over a beer gut) with all the talent in the world, but with absolutely no drive be the best or even just stay in shape…. It’s a little infuriating.
I always wondered if guys like Zion and Jamarcus Russell will/do look back with a lot of regret about their careers. Sure they made their money but they’ll always be remembered as a “what could’ve been”.
@@urbaindelva7869 Yeah, just wait. He'll fuck it up again before all is said and done. Especially if he wins. If he has two good years where he's maybe MVP or takes the Grizz to the Finals bet your bottom dollar that he will start waving guns around and acting like Dollar Tree Kodak Black.
Zion’s done. He’s gonna be injury prone for the rest of his career until he retires. Im sure he’ll br productive here and there but as a whole, he gonna be in that woulda coulda convo of athletes who had insane potential
9:36 Has dude ever considered that maybe the Knicks don’t want his fat ass? You can’t blame your agency for not forcing a trade that would not happen otherwise if one of the potential trade partners refuses to be involved. He has to be playing to be a star in New York and he doesn’t play.
0:38 Idk who you've been talking to, but, as a New Orleanian, many of us saw this coming. BD, AD, CP3, and now Zion don't want to play here. Not blaming them tbh.
Tbh its not really crazy to me that a generational level prospect that comes in unhealthy and undisciplined every season begins to lose out on money. His own actions and lack of passion for the game are what are sabotaging his physical health, finances, and team success. Good riddance.
Regardless of injury proneness or overweight ect. these guys shouldn't be allowed to completely handicap a franchise on potential that can never be met. As an athlete one should be in shape and know how to stay in shape. Zion, Kawhi, Ben and Embiid need these types of contracts to prevent teams for being prisoners of these players. I know Kawhi is injury prone but he shouldn't be getting a maxed contract if he is injury prone. He isn't making the team any money by sitting on the bench especially if he is the main attraction. All these players need non guaranteed contracts for that matter.
No one forced the owners into signing them. They wanted them. No guaranteed contracts will never happen. They can & always have added performance incentives, it’s the best they can do. IF a player wants to sign it , more than likely he’ll just go to a team without the stipulations .
@@Supreme36074 Like I always said it must be nice to have more money than brains. Of course no one force anybody to sign or even negotiate. I just wish all the owners and execs make better decisions so the league don't have to interfere to level the playing field. At least the contract should only be partial guaranteed and if a player forces himself out of the contract there should be a penalty. There must be qualifications met so if the player isn't earning revenue then he can't be paid in total. Part of the problem is these guys don't take care of themselves.The problem is getting out of hand and must be handled.
@@Supreme36074 if you don't see the direction all of this is going in you are in denial or blind to the oblivious. The fact that tanking, load management, and players bailing out of their contracts, all this negative energy is mainly from the direction of our present commish. The fact that it is happening and it is becoming the norm especially with young players and small markets is evident. Players are getting more money than ever and still have to be incentivised to participate in dunk contest. Their agents and their sponsors need to advise them about brand promotion and its effect on their bottom dollar. Under David Stern this would have never happened and there was competitiveness, rivalry, and no excuses or asterisks.
Zion can absolutely keep his weight in check ..even with a hamstring injury ....he can do cardio with just hes hands on things like hand bikes...and he can have healthy meals prepared...the problem is the dude is unprofessional AF
This whole video just as applicable to the Raps 🙃 Scottie been out, Quick still out, Olynyk, Bruce Brown.. been playin straight rookie lineups n shit lol
This isn’t sad! It’s his own damn fault that he’s in this situation! He’s fat and he doesn’t have the discipline to stay in shape which can result in injuries. That’s on him! Don’t blame his agent! How in the hell is agent supposed to negotiate with other teams on your behalf when you make no effort to stay fit? Other teams around the league see this! He should be EMBARRASSED that weight restriction requirement s were added to his contract! If I were the Pelicans GM/Owners there no way I would have extended his contract. If he keeps this up he will be out of the league in the next two seasons guaranteed. In fact, I’d cut him! But hey, he attended Duke which is a very prestigious university. A degree from Duke can land some of best high paying jobs in the country. Wait! Hold on! He didn’t graduate! He only played one season and left! He probably should’ve stayed in school. This is not sad because this was all self inflicted!
When low said “everybody can sign a gurantee contract except u Yll got me Fck Up” I started crying cuz deadass I’m wit low on tht😂😂! My question to Zion is did he have anybody look over this deal cuz the way the contract is put together it look like a set 🆙
This might revolutionize how players get paid no bs, he’s one of the biggest young stars and this type of contract structure helps teams get the best out of players while guaranteeing they’re not wasting money.
Zion Williams loves food and women, not basketball. The problem was he was a sheltered kid, once he got all that money he got to indulge in the lifestyle he always wanted. He’s tasting the devils fruit and it’s thrown off his God given gift and purpose.
So why did God give him this gift if he knew he would eat his way out of it? Dosent make sense at all why not give the gift to a harder worker or something
It's not a typical contract. But Zion doesn't play much, doesn't put in the effort and always comes in overweight. Putting in the work and being in shape should be the minimum to get paid tens of millions as an athlete.
This may be a hot take, but I think all supermax contracts should come with clauses like this. If a player gets big money like that, they need to take their job seriously, stay healthy and play. The team gave them that money because they want to make a run for a championship, so is it unfair to have mechanisms in place to keep players accountable. We've seen many players ball out in their contract year and as soon as they get that big contract, they get really lazy.
anyone remembers the time when zion was said to the reincarnation of lebron and he was on espn all day ? the fall off has been crazy .. weight gain (smh) , injuries . i CANNOT remember the last time i saw a highlight of him dunking these last few seasons .
What you don’t get is that most times it’s the team having the players miss games & they do it to protect their investment. Zion is an extreme case though.
ZiMelo loading. Zion gonna ask to be traded cheap just to get outta there. Hornets could probably make it happen for Bridges, Curry and a handful of 2nds.
I like this type of contract. Injuries are a part of sport, but Zion clearly doesn't put in the efforts it takes to be great. Paying to sit on the sidelines and eat is ridiculous.
People used to be pissed when Kobe wouldn’t pass the ball to certain players… he didn’t trust guys who didn’t share the same commitment he had to the game. He considered it disrespectful to not put in the hard work required to win. Kobe is shaking his head right now at what the league has become. Zion has zero dedication. it upsets me to think that so many others didn’t get the opportunity in the NBA who wouldn’t squander it.
Zion is so lazy, so lacking in discipline, that he’s willing to give up a big portion of that contract. Ain’t no excuse with all the help available to him and he still can’t lose weight.
Tbh Zion should be held more accountable for his own losses... He probanly had 2 options: sign a lucrative deal with a lot of restrictions, basically gambling on himself or sign a way smaller but guaranteed deal. He cant blame his former agency for him showing up out of shape YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR! It also seems clear that he plays basketball because he was born to do it; because if hebliked it, he would take better care of himself.

This is not sad because this was all self inflicted!
I thought this was the Lowe post podcast. But I’m here for it
It’s been a struggle as a Pels fan. We need a new strength and conditioning coach/medical team and new head coach/coaching staff.
Just take the team out of New Orleans and put them in San Diego or Vegas
Yeah, I don't think that is the problem.
u hilarious boi🤣 made me laugh heavy
Great video big dog
When low said “everybody can sign a gurantee contract except u Yll got me Fck Up” I started crying cuz deadass I’m wit low on tht😂😂! My question to Zion is did he have anybody look over this deal cuz the way the contract is put together it look like a set 🆙
Hunter is one of the reasons we have a winning record in Atlanta, this has been by far his best year early on.
This might revolutionize how players get paid no bs, he’s one of the biggest young stars and this type of contract structure helps teams get the best out of players while guaranteeing they’re not wasting money.
pels gm was grilling cooking broiling, pan searing all of the above when he made zions contract 😂😂😂
Zion on the Big Smoke diet 🤣😭💀
Zion Williams loves food and women, not basketball. The problem was he was a sheltered kid, once he got all that money he got to indulge in the lifestyle he always wanted. He’s tasting the devils fruit and it’s thrown off his God given gift and purpose.
So why did God give him this gift if he knew he would eat his way out of it? Dosent make sense at all why not give the gift to a harder worker or something
@@grumpy2k876 lmao maybe cause god has nothing to do w anything
Something in the water or voodoo
AD has been struggling with that New Orleans Voodoo curse since he moved to the Lakers. He is just coming back from that curse last year.
Zion the biggest bust in NBA history
@2:35 That's the Pelicans G-League team, right?

Bro put himself in the thumbnail twice like we wouldn’t notice 😂
Zion is the type of player that needs to be in a organization like miami heat
With load management the way it is. There should be a lot more of these contracts
If they had an all you can eat buffet at the Pelicans arena Zion would be there right quick.
happy thanksgiving LOW
The commentary at the end! 😂😂😂😂 facts tho!!
I'll say this: Zion's contract should start a pretty interesting conversation at the next CBA meeting.
talking about a contract clause where your weight and bfp can’t be over 295 as a nba player is ludicrous
It’s specific for Zion not every nba player
It's not a typical contract. But Zion doesn't play much, doesn't put in the effort and always comes in overweight. Putting in the work and being in shape should be the minimum to get paid tens of millions as an athlete.
Zion was expected to be the Pelicans franchise player. The expectations for him have fallen off a cliff.
I thought dude left side of thumbnail was Zion for a second
This may be a hot take, but I think all supermax contracts should come with clauses like this. If a player gets big money like that, they need to take their job seriously, stay healthy and play. The team gave them that money because they want to make a run for a championship, so is it unfair to have mechanisms in place to keep players accountable. We've seen many players ball out in their contract year and as soon as they get that big contract, they get really lazy.
anyone remembers the time when zion was said to the reincarnation of lebron and he was on espn all day ?
the fall off has been crazy .. weight gain (smh) , injuries .
i CANNOT remember the last time i saw a highlight of him dunking these last few seasons .
Expect more NBA contracts to be structured this way.
If you don't play, you don't get paid
What you don’t get is that most times it’s the team having the players miss games & they do it to protect their investment. Zion is an extreme case though.
Man, every time I hear a player with a hamstring injury that just tells me that they have a lack of conditioning
Your reasoning is faulty
ZiMelo loading. Zion gonna ask to be traded cheap just to get outta there. Hornets could probably make it happen for Bridges, Curry and a handful of 2nds.
1:53. "rotator cup" rotor cup tear. STRAIGHTEN UP BRUH😅
I like this type of contract. Injuries are a part of sport, but Zion clearly doesn't put in the efforts it takes to be great. Paying to sit on the sidelines and eat is ridiculous.
People used to be pissed when Kobe wouldn’t pass the ball to certain players… he didn’t trust guys who didn’t share the same commitment he had to the game. He considered it disrespectful to not put in the hard work required to win. Kobe is shaking his head right now at what the league has become. Zion has zero dedication. it upsets me to think that so many others didn’t get the opportunity in the NBA who wouldn’t squander it.
Man you know how hard it is for some people to control their eating🤣
If you swapped low and zion, the pelicans wouldnt be able to tell the difference
ALL NBA CONTRACTS NEED TO BE STRUCTURED LIKE THIS!
Zion is so lazy, so lacking in discipline, that he’s willing to give up a big portion of that contract.
Ain’t no excuse with all the help available to him and he still can’t lose weight.
Words I thought I never say, Zion ain’t hungry enough to hoop. 😂
Tbh Zion should be held more accountable for his own losses...
He probanly had 2 options: sign a lucrative deal with a lot of restrictions, basically gambling on himself or sign a way smaller but guaranteed deal.
He cant blame his former agency for him showing up out of shape YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR!
It also seems clear that he plays basketball because he was born to do it; because if hebliked it, he would take better care of himself.
Don't want to hear a big man talking bout another big man. Talk to the man in the mirror first. Lol
OMG THANK YOU, was looking for this comment
What’s going on with the playback?
Zion need to start working onna jumper asap 😂
