Talk about a transformation!
At Duke and in the NBA with the New Orleans Pelicans, Zion Williamson has gotten plenty of speculation and criticism about his weight. Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal have roasted him over it.
Well that’s going to change now because Williamson has pulled off an insane transformation.
Look at this picture, taken at a camp that he’s running back home in South Carolina.
We’ll find out later perhaps, but just as a visual guess, he looks like he’s lost 25-30 pounds. Look at that picture compared to this one. It’s hard to believe it’s the same guy. Old Zion played basketball with a football build; new Zion is playing with a basketball build, and that’s going to be a problem.
Why?
Because as anyone who has lost that kind of weight will tell you, moving is a lot easier. He may not jump higher, but he’ll jump quicker - and he may jump higher.
And of course that’ll put less stress on his body too, which should help his durability and longevity.
