Still weighed down by his physique this season, Zion Williamson gradually saw his early career turn into a fiasco. Continually targeted on his superfluous kilos, the golgoth of the Pelicans has just been the subject of a new big warning.
Still as impressive with domination when he is on the courts, he can nevertheless regret not treading them as regularly as he would like. Still bothered by injuries of all kinds, Zion Williamson has only played 29 games with the Pelicans this season. A deplorable record once again, which only fuels the incessant criticism against him.
Charles Barkley’s cry from the heart for Zion Williamson
Holder of an immense hype on his arrival in the NBA, Williamson struggles to justify it, mainly because of his physique. The latter indeed leaves him little respite, and would abandon him in particular because of his weight according to many followers. While some hope for a takeover from him following the latest buzz photosCharles Barkley invites him to follow his example at the microphone of SiriusXM :
“How many players have you seen eat their way out of the NBA? A lot of them!”

If only Zion could have a veteran or a coach on his team who could tell him, “Zion, you need to get in shape, you can’t play basketball at your current weight. Me, I was lucky to have Moses Malone to allow me to open my eyes. He told me he was going to help me get in shape, and he made me lose over 20 kilos!
Having become MVP following this drastic regime, Barkley can only advise Zion to do the same to hope to continue in the league. He even goes so far as to give him a big ultimatum:
How many players have we seen leave the league because of food? A lot ! I can name at least 10 guys who were forced out of their careers because of food. I wish I could sit down and chat with Zion and say, “Man, you’re so talented. It’s time for you to lose weight because otherwise you won’t be able to play basketball anymore! »
Will the New Orleans colossus eventually follow this advice and return to the form he had in high school or in the NCAA? That’s all the fans can wish for him!
Author of a new almost white season, Zion Williamson will see his future darken in the NBA if he does not change his eating habits. Charles Barkley therefore launches a new appeal with his foot, and even says he is ready to offer him his help!
