Barkley's dominance inside at 6'4" is absolutely astounding. He faced players 5 inches+ taller than him night after night and still dominated.

He used lifts. and Elbowed a lot. Plus hip-checked and used his fat ass to generally disrupt otherwise taller and better players.

Zion isn't healthy, he may never get totally healthy again but he is super talented!

Barkley with the 76ers played around 250. He was fat in college by his own admission. He lost all that weight thanks to Moses Malone. He got bigger in the latter part of his career.
Yeah. I know. Still liked to watch him in college when he was fat. Neat to see agility in a big guy.

From the reaction on the board recently, I didn't think that the board acknowledged these actions played a role in rebounding, etc.

He’ll be a poor man’s Draymond Green.

Zion will be following in the footsteps of Greg Oden - spending most of his career on IR.
I remember that draft. I was convinced Durant should the #1 and I’m not NBA guy. Big men with feet problems should be non-starters. I think you are right about Zion too. Any time you have to reteach someone how to walk, jump, etc that means there is a serious problem. Only thing slim About him is his chance at any sort of longevity.

Freaking guy is a fat toad....it shocks me he does well.

I thought he had weight or body fat issues as well. According to Bspn and the Pelicans, Zion is at 8% body fat. In other words, how does he lose weight? I know nothing about weight lifting or any of that. Is there a way to lean up instead of being so chiseled?

Normally this is where they amputate the legs.

Barkley was 6’6”. You made me laugh though.

Ox sounds absolutely insane if he’s not trolling. Zion is a freak of nature. The kid has all time great potential if he can manage his weight (only for the sake of protecting his knees). He is dominant around the rim like Shaq with better leaping ability than LeBron. Also, is ultra efficient as a scorer with a soft touch. His 3 point shot is the only question mark of his game, but who cares when nobody can stop him in the paint? When he retires, he’ll be better than Barkley.

He'll be retired within 5 years, ala Greg Oden. His flabby legs won't hold up.
