I'm not the one that showed up to summer league game 1 so out of shape that I was pulled 9 minutes in and both my former college coach and current "boss" couldn't even sugar coat it to the media. Y'all can continue to make excuses for him, but regardless of why he's overweight and out of shape, if he doesn't want this hanging over his head any longer, he needs to decide that it's time to buckle down and put in work. Not the team, not Griffin, not Gentry, not the trainers, not mom, dad, brother, whatever. Do you think anybody has to convince the NBA players spending time in Vegas over the summer to work out? Those guys are putting in 6+ hours a day during their "off-season." You can attribute it to youth, work ethic, discipline or whatever else makes you feel better, but at the end of the day, Zion needs to decide it's time to be a pro and treat this like the job it is.
Also, if you take your rose-colored glasses off and re-read my post, I clearly say BMI isn't the entire picture. You can look at LeBron James and understand that his BMI will not be an accurate depiction of the world class athlete he is. However with Zion, it's pretty obvious that he's carrying a significant amount of extra weight around, much of it being body fat. So by definition, yes, Zion is considered obese. And let's be honest, you're ticked off by this narrative because Zion can do no wrong.
