On December 8, Beijing time, Pelicans' Zion Williamson has not played this season due to serious overweight. According to insiders, he may have weighed more than 330 pounds. What is the concept of 330 pounds? O'Neill weighs 325 pounds, although it reached 350 pounds in the later stage, but O'Neill is tall, Zion is 198cm, and the weight is as high as 300 pounds!
This value, coupled with weight, put Zion's knees under extreme pressure and is likely to scrap his career. There are many players in NBA history who have retired prematurely because of their weight, such as Robert Treller and Oliver Miller. Treller is very similar to Zion, and when he first joined the league, he was also expected by the outside world, and the Bucks also exchanged him for Nowitzki. Unfortunately, he also can't control his weight, after 7 seasons in the NBA, due to overweight and heart problems, Treller ended his sports career. At 203 cm tall, he once weighed 140 kilograms at his peak, and excessive obesity also embarrassed Trelle's body, and one day in May 2011, the 34-year-old Treller suddenly had a heart attack and died in his home in Puerto Rico!
Oliver Miller entered the NBA in the same year as O'Neal, and Oliver Miller, who just entered the league, is 2.06 meters tall and weighs 130 kilograms, but he is addicted to junk food, and his weight has been rising, reaching 170 kilograms at the heaviest time, which is the highest in NBA history! He also ended his career because of his weight, and then look at Zion, he is not as tall as Treller, and now he weighs more than Treller. I don't know if I will surpass Oliver Miller in the future, if I continue to eat like this, Zion's weight may really become the heaviest player in NBA history! Of course, he will also retire early, and if he can't play because of his weight now, even retirement will come sooner! Buckley had long warned him to control his appetite, but he never listened, which led to today's situation!
Of course, there is no need to joke pelicans, the history of the NBA can be a lot of parallel goods, just happened to meet themselves!
