WEBVTT - The Pelicans Have A Zion Problem

0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:05.560
<v Speaker 1>You're you're listening to the Hottest, The Hottest.

0:00:05.680 --> 0:00:08.920
<v Speaker 2>It be a podcast out here. I said what I said.

0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:12.160
<v Speaker 3>It's the heat Chat Chat Check.

0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:13.800
<v Speaker 2>It's just a trick.

0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:19.680
<v Speaker 3>On this episode of the Heat Check. Oh my god,

0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:24.160
<v Speaker 3>I gotta talk about Zion Williamson again. Are you fucking serious?

0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:28.040
<v Speaker 3>It's been four seasons. Why can't this song that sort

0:00:28.080 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 3>itself out? We go into something I'm very sketch on,

0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:37.440
<v Speaker 3>what the fuck are the Milwaukee Bucks doing right now?

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 3>And we also get into the hit me of the

0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:42.839
<v Speaker 3>week going out to a Laker, maybe not the one

0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:45.680
<v Speaker 3>you think, somebody who puts the Pacers to sleep. We'll

0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:48.440
<v Speaker 3>get into the n season tournament final thoughts too, but man,

0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:51.879
<v Speaker 3>lots to get going into. Let's get into a william

0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:54.279
<v Speaker 3>drop that motherfucking heer and Eric's pete that should be

0:00:54.280 --> 0:01:01.840
<v Speaker 3>be honest. I said, I'd never talked about this again.

0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:06.199
<v Speaker 3>I said, I was done with the fat shaming. I said,

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 3>I was done talking about Zion's conditioning and his weight.

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:14.120
<v Speaker 3>But then it pops up into the news again, and

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 3>I have to take a journalistic ethical approach. No, I

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 3>have to take a fucking victory lap. Actually, because I

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:26.479
<v Speaker 3>told you all Zion's never gonna get in shape, He's

0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:28.639
<v Speaker 3>never gonna get healthy. The man is gonna be a bust.

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:31.760
<v Speaker 3>I know bad mentality when I see it. I don't

0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:33.920
<v Speaker 3>have to be Shaquille O'Neil. I don't have to be

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 3>Charles Barkley. I don't have to be Stephen A. Smith

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.399
<v Speaker 3>to recognize mediocrity in the mind. When I see it,

0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:42.000
<v Speaker 3>I am sick about it. I have been watching highlights

0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:46.119
<v Speaker 3>of Zion at Duke all evening. I miss him. No

0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:50.720
<v Speaker 3>one was more excited about the potential of the New

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:55.200
<v Speaker 3>Orleans Pelicans and their resurgence as I was. In a

0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 3>lot of ways, they've shown they can be a problem.

0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:00.840
<v Speaker 3>They can be deep, they can be athletic, they can

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:02.520
<v Speaker 3>get after it, they can get buckets.

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 4>CJ.

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.760
<v Speaker 3>McCollums, there is the voice of reason. But I tell

0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.920
<v Speaker 3>you what I'm about, fucking sick of these Pelicans. We

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 3>talked about this last episode. Oh, They're gonna use the

0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 3>ist to build on this. It's gonna be a platform

0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 3>for them to grow their exposure, to showcase the fact

0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 3>that they can be a mature team. They're finally healthy.

0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 3>They've had quality wins against contenders, sixers Nuggets Kings. Multiple

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 3>wins against the Kings, actually, and when they're firing on

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:33.800
<v Speaker 3>all cylinders, they're super fun to watch. Right, So everything's good.

0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:39.120
<v Speaker 3>Everything's good. The Pelicans. We shouldn't be worried. No, no, no,

0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:43.040
<v Speaker 3>things are not good. Okay, things are not good at all.

0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:49.679
<v Speaker 3>And the reason is Zion. I am absolutely incensed by

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 3>the fact that the superstar player who's taking number one

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:56.720
<v Speaker 3>overall is the biggest problem on the team. I've been

0:02:56.760 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 3>talking about this for three years now. I've been online

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:06.240
<v Speaker 3>for three years now. Richard Jefferson publicly scathed into me, gugging.

0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:10.400
<v Speaker 3>You're a hater. You're thinking about this man bringing him down,

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:14.080
<v Speaker 3>You're preying on his downfall. No, I'm not. I want

0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.440
<v Speaker 3>Zion to be as good as he can possibly be.

0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm in favor of tough love. I don't hate Zion.

0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:26.160
<v Speaker 3>I hate that he can't stop from stuffing food down

0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:29.519
<v Speaker 3>his gullet and sitting on the fucking couch all night.

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 3>That's what I'm sick of. I'm sick of the fact

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:35.320
<v Speaker 3>that Zion would rather eat fifteen pizzas in a row

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 3>and make himself sick than get on a treadmill. I

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 3>am sick about that. Thankfully, I'm not the only one

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 3>worried about this. I'm not the only one screaming into

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:46.600
<v Speaker 3>the void being like, hey, doesn't anybody else think this

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 3>is a problem? Hey, hey, I see I see fat

0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:56.320
<v Speaker 3>on Zion's body. Amid the joy that was them making

0:03:56.320 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 3>it to the vegas Ist semifinals, the disgusting loss to

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 3>the Lakers illuminated and revealed what we kind of thought

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:09.120
<v Speaker 3>might be a problem. Now we're getting rumors, more rumors

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 3>about Zion's fitness level, and it is not a pretty sight.

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:16.200
<v Speaker 3>After the Ist loss, my man doing the lord's work.

0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:18.520
<v Speaker 3>Christian Clark of The Times picky you, and by the way,

0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:20.800
<v Speaker 3>shout out to the Times pick you. They do not care.

0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.800
<v Speaker 3>They do not care that that's the only team that

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.480
<v Speaker 3>they cover and that they're probably gonna get cut off

0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:30.240
<v Speaker 3>from communications. They're doing real journalism there. They are talking

0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:34.760
<v Speaker 3>bad if they need to about everybody. I mean, there's

0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:38.159
<v Speaker 3>no stone left unturned for the Times. Pickyun anyway, they

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.000
<v Speaker 3>dropped this detailed piece that states that the Pelicans' front

0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:44.440
<v Speaker 3>off is about fed up with Zion's bullshit, the fact

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:46.680
<v Speaker 3>that he's always fat and out of shape. This is

0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:48.720
<v Speaker 3>what Clark wrote at the start of the season, it

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:52.720
<v Speaker 3>was clear of Williamson was carrying too much weight. I thought, pause,

0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:56.919
<v Speaker 3>I thought. David Griffin told us this was the first

0:04:56.920 --> 0:05:00.520
<v Speaker 3>time in Zion's career he was taking his health wellness

0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:03.960
<v Speaker 3>seriously and his fitness seriously, and he stayed at the

0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:07.160
<v Speaker 3>facility all off season, and he was being a professional.

0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 3>And everybody's like showing me probably photoshop photos of Zion

0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:18.520
<v Speaker 3>being like, ooh, in shape, Zion. ShredIt Zion. It's scary hours,

0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:22.680
<v Speaker 3>Get the fuck come on anyway. More distressingly, he has

0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:27.320
<v Speaker 3>not played himself into better shape, even though the regular

0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:30.760
<v Speaker 3>season is more than one quarter of the way over.

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:37.679
<v Speaker 3>If anything, Christian Clark says, Williamson's condition has regressed. My man,

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:44.000
<v Speaker 3>My man is twenty three years old, sucking wind, needing

0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:50.840
<v Speaker 3>Chris Paul's secret stuff. After five whole minutes against a

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:54.720
<v Speaker 3>thirty eight year old Lebron James and the Lakers and

0:05:54.839 --> 0:06:00.600
<v Speaker 3>one of the biggest games of his career, Zion couldn't

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:04.920
<v Speaker 3>have the conditioning to just go out there and compete.

0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:11.160
<v Speaker 3>They lost by fucking forty Are you serious? There were

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:15.320
<v Speaker 3>rumors that Bi and Zion were out all night partying

0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:17.839
<v Speaker 3>the night before the game. If you go back to

0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:23.479
<v Speaker 3>YouTube and google Zion brandon ingram in Season Tournament, you

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.880
<v Speaker 3>will be asking yourself many questions, and one of them

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 3>will be are these two guys even sober? I don't

0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:34.599
<v Speaker 3>know what they are? Zion in this clip looked like

0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:38.240
<v Speaker 3>me at sixteen years old when my mom called me

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:41.039
<v Speaker 3>home early before the lights came on, and I was

0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.440
<v Speaker 3>high out of my fucking mind and I had to

0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:46.800
<v Speaker 3>sit there on the couch while she interrogated me, and

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:50.440
<v Speaker 3>all I could do was giggle. That was Zion giggling

0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 3>for no damn reason when they asked him questions about

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 3>the n Season Tournament, and Bi was not any better.

0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.760
<v Speaker 3>You do not have to be a rocket scientist. When

0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:02.839
<v Speaker 3>they look and they sound like they hadn't had any sleep.

0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm not gonna play the clip for you because it's

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:08.800
<v Speaker 3>just a bunch of gibberish, whether they were out all

0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.120
<v Speaker 3>night or not. This is what Clark wrote. During the

0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:15.239
<v Speaker 3>first stoppage of play in Thursday's Lost, Zion Williamson plopped

0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 3>on the bench, struggling to breathe, looking as though he

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.800
<v Speaker 3>had just completed a half marathon. Williamson, who had just

0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:25.800
<v Speaker 3>jogged back on defense to try to Contestatorian Prince three

0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:30.600
<v Speaker 3>pointer appeared winded, even though the game wasn't even five

0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:37.720
<v Speaker 3>minutes old, folks, we've got woo oo, We've got a problem.

0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:42.120
<v Speaker 3>We've got a serious problem in New Orleans. Remember Mariah Mills,

0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:45.080
<v Speaker 3>God bless her, I miss her. She spilled all the

0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:48.800
<v Speaker 3>tea about Zion's apartment, well, all kinds of things about Zion,

0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:54.760
<v Speaker 3>but in this particular case, for our purposes, she was saying,

0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 3>this man's got coke bottle empty coke bottles by the

0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:03.400
<v Speaker 3>hundreds all over his floor. He's got roaches in his

0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:08.360
<v Speaker 3>ash tray, he's got eat half eaten pizzas he was guzzling,

0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:13.240
<v Speaker 3>popped by the gallons. And as hilariously sad as this is,

0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:18.520
<v Speaker 3>it's actually infuriating. The dude could not muster up the

0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:21.760
<v Speaker 3>motivation to just hire somebody to keep him on the

0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 3>straight and arrow. I don't know, personal trainer. Oh yeah,

0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:29.240
<v Speaker 3>he did. The personal trainer. He fucking fired and that

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:33.679
<v Speaker 3>guy is taking shots on him online. By the way,

0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:37.360
<v Speaker 3>shrug emoji is all he had to say. Like, dude,

0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:39.280
<v Speaker 3>I try to tell him, but he just fired me.

0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:45.640
<v Speaker 3>Get a nutritionist. You could probably eat Zion two pizzas

0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:48.560
<v Speaker 3>a day and not be two hundred and eighty five

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:52.360
<v Speaker 3>pounds at sixty seven. The caloric burn that you have

0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.680
<v Speaker 3>at the amount of basketball that you could play, I

0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.920
<v Speaker 3>don't even want to know what you're eating. I don't

0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:01.080
<v Speaker 3>even want to know. It's gotta be so much for

0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:04.360
<v Speaker 3>you to gain that much weight that fast. Here's what

0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.400
<v Speaker 3>Shaq had to say about Zion, and let me tell

0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:08.880
<v Speaker 3>you it's spot on.

0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:11.760
<v Speaker 2>I have a question for Shot because you said this early.

0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:16.240
<v Speaker 2>You said this could be a statement for Zion to

0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:18.680
<v Speaker 2>let him know, hey, I'm coming.

0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 4>I want to ask you this question, though.

0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:24.400
<v Speaker 2>Who was the guy when you said I'm gonna try

0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:26.559
<v Speaker 2>to do that too and you couldn't do it?

0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:29.080
<v Speaker 4>Two of them David Robinson and you're a good friend

0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:31.320
<v Speaker 4>that came Eliza, and you couldn't do it. I couldn't

0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:34.120
<v Speaker 4>do it because you know why, because I realized I

0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:37.000
<v Speaker 4>wasn't working as hard as I thought I was. Ah,

0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:39.680
<v Speaker 4>I want to make some points about Zion. Okay, it's

0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.360
<v Speaker 4>not run hard, it's not of this. This's gonna be

0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:44.520
<v Speaker 4>a lesson from one great big man to another guy

0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:47.200
<v Speaker 4>that could be a regular, just not run hard. I

0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:49.120
<v Speaker 4>had the same problem my first time here. I thought

0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:51.320
<v Speaker 4>I was running hard. Chaus Charles talked about.

0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 2>This all the time.

0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:53.920
<v Speaker 4>My timely gonna get me twenty. But when I start

0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.839
<v Speaker 4>going to twenty thirty and forty, it's because I started

0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:59.760
<v Speaker 4>doing certain things. He doesn't create easy points for us.

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:01.319
<v Speaker 4>I saw a couple of times we had a couple

0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:04.400
<v Speaker 4>guys at the basket. If he don't seal right, he

0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:06.640
<v Speaker 4>doesn't demand the ball like you got a small guy,

0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:09.360
<v Speaker 4>and we talk about all the barbecue chicken alert. Charles

0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:11.040
<v Speaker 4>talk about all the time, you can't let a little

0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:14.040
<v Speaker 4>guy guard you. And he doesn't have that look like

0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:17.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm not the greatest athlete ever, but I know a

0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.240
<v Speaker 4>look when I see it in every sport. I know

0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:22.559
<v Speaker 4>a look. Tiger Woods had that look. Jack Nicholson had

0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:25.200
<v Speaker 4>that look. You know what I'm saying, Like, he just

0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:27.800
<v Speaker 4>doesn't have that look, and he doesn't rebound. He does

0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:30.440
<v Speaker 4>not rebound. I'm sitting there and I'm watching because you know,

0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:32.880
<v Speaker 4>Charles was on him, because you know less Charles's category.

0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.000
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to be on that are. But he's

0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.800
<v Speaker 4>not just saying this also because he could be the.

0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.200
<v Speaker 2>He could be the best player in the league, in

0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:42.120
<v Speaker 2>the league, in the league, yes, and.

0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:46.920
<v Speaker 4>The best player in the league. Again, I was just

0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:48.400
<v Speaker 4>like him, So I don't want to sit up here,

0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:50.240
<v Speaker 4>you know, Like I was just like that. But you know,

0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:52.000
<v Speaker 4>people used to like pull me to the side.

0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:52.120
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:54.360
<v Speaker 4>I had a guy named Brad Seisler who used to

0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:56.960
<v Speaker 4>always say, hey, man, okay, you had twenty four points

0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 4>because you're not just working as hard. And I'm like,

0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:01.080
<v Speaker 4>what are you talking about that? So once he decided

0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:03.920
<v Speaker 4>to get that killer and go for it, he's.

0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:08.200
<v Speaker 3>Gonna be and your shack notoriously fat and lazy, Zion

0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:12.760
<v Speaker 3>might be worse. Even Stephen A piled on, calling Zion fat.

0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:16.439
<v Speaker 3>He looks fat. What was it again? He looks fat?

0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:18.360
<v Speaker 3>One more time, he looks fat.

0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.480
<v Speaker 1>My brother, you've been in the news for some other stuff.

0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.320
<v Speaker 1>Your proclivities and who you want to mess with and

0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:26.800
<v Speaker 1>all that other stuff is your damn business. We ain't

0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:29.280
<v Speaker 1>got to get into all of that, but this is necessary.

0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Zion Williamson went to the free throw line the other

0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:37.320
<v Speaker 1>thing and ruke. While Lebron James had dropped thirty in

0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:41.440
<v Speaker 1>three quarters and had completely dominated and looked in pat

0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:45.720
<v Speaker 1>physical condition and looked like an absolute stunt and superstar.

0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:46.120
<v Speaker 2>And mon key.

0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Zion Williamson, who's more than fifteen years younger but forty

0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:58.439
<v Speaker 1>pounds heavier, went to the free throw line, ladies and gentlemen,

0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:00.240
<v Speaker 1>I saw a belly.

0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:05.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's what I've been saying. That's what I've been saying.

0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:10.040
<v Speaker 3>I am so tired of Zion fucking around. This podcast

0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:12.120
<v Speaker 3>is in its fourth season, and we are in its

0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:15.360
<v Speaker 3>fourth season of talking about Zion and his weight in

0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:18.800
<v Speaker 3>his lack of conditioning, and it's actually worse. It's gotten

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:22.319
<v Speaker 3>worse every year. It is a theme. I don't know

0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:25.679
<v Speaker 3>if Zion's a tradable asset anymore. I don't know who

0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:29.199
<v Speaker 3>wants Zion on their team given all of the things

0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:32.320
<v Speaker 3>that are Zion's big red flags. He makes a lot

0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:35.880
<v Speaker 3>of money, He will not stay in shape. It's gotten worse.

0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:40.240
<v Speaker 3>He apparently will not listen when they tell him, Hey,

0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:43.680
<v Speaker 3>you need to fix this stuff. In New Orleans, He's

0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.319
<v Speaker 3>a managed to avoid injury this year, but we're only

0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:49.040
<v Speaker 3>a quarter of the way through the season. Congratulations, Zion,

0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:51.360
<v Speaker 3>you made it longer than you have pretty much every year.

0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:55.880
<v Speaker 3>The Pelicans are fun and by the way, real side note, Also,

0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:59.320
<v Speaker 3>Brandon Ingram and Zion can't be together on this team.

0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:02.680
<v Speaker 3>They are Nazi athletes. If you want to keep Zion,

0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:04.719
<v Speaker 3>that's on you. He was your number one pick. You

0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:06.240
<v Speaker 3>don't want to get him. Rid of him, you don't

0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:08.600
<v Speaker 3>want to let everyone know that maybe he's not who

0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:10.360
<v Speaker 3>you thought he was, Then get rid of Bi. He's

0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:12.640
<v Speaker 3>clearly a bad influence. They are a very fun and

0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.360
<v Speaker 3>very dangerous team, but they need more high character guys

0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:20.400
<v Speaker 3>on this team. More Alvarados, more CJ. McCollums, less, Brandon

0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:24.600
<v Speaker 3>Ingram's less Zions. His health. Zion is completely dependent on

0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:28.120
<v Speaker 3>his diet. He's too eighty and sixty seven. He's probably

0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:31.720
<v Speaker 3>actually three hundred. I think that's his goal weight is

0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.320
<v Speaker 3>to eighty. He's out here suckond win like he did

0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:36.959
<v Speaker 3>early and late against the Lakers. If he does that,

0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:41.520
<v Speaker 3>then New Orleans is going to miss the playoffs altogether. Hey, Zions,

0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:43.240
<v Speaker 3>get your shit together, my guy
