Yes, I've watched it. That doesn't actually confirm that you understand what I'm saying.
Are you aware that it is perfectly possible to land in a controlled, managed way, on one foot?
Zion took, by my count, 8 'real' jumps in last game: this is obviously not counting little hops and spins, only legitimate leaps where both feet were off the ground by more than like, 6 inches :hihi:
Of those 8 jumps, 2 had bad landings, 2 had sub-optimal landings because of things beyond Zion's control, and 4 were perfectly okay landings. This is what you expert from someone who is having their mechanics modified: you do not change perfectly all at once. You expect there to be a transition period where the old and the new clash a little and there's some inconsistency with it. This is what we saw: mostly good landings, a few questionable ones, and a couple of bad ones.
Please understand that you can land on one leg and not be committing some biomechanical sin.
Don't remember seeing him grabbing his shorts like that other than bending over before the FT. I was not far from him. After he spoke with Gentry he sat down and started talking to other players. By the end of the timeout he was not even breathing heavy. We may have a different definition of gassed. You mentioned he got blown by. It was White on a delay and go. Jrue had been blown by on a similar move early in the game. BTW, I understand them being cautious and talking him out, but if things were normal (i.e. no injury), I would not have thought that he was so tired that it required him to be taken out given the situation.
Got blown by twice. If Semantics is your line of attack defending your opinion, that's fine. I, more than likely was as close as you were to the action. And I just disagree. If you want to you use winded, that's fine. It was the right move to pull him IMO.
I witnessed what you witnessed, we saw it differently & neither mind will be changed. Move along.
I sad largely not only and as with all rules you'll have some exceptions to them. But for the average person diet largely dictates how much and individual will weight.
And you are correct body plan and mechanics are important components in the impact on an individuals frame. Another is weight.
