Charles Barkley fires hard comments at Zion Williamson and indicates that he is not happy with his fitness at NBA
Zion Willamson has not had a smooth ride ever since he made inroads into the NBA. Willamson used to play his trade as a Duke Bluedevil but he has failed to shine with respect to his basketball skills. Willamson has looked poles apart in comparison to when his name spread like wildfire on the news when he made it into the NBA as an overall draft pick. Williamson as it stands had played only 29 games in the 2021 season. When it came to the 2022 season he had a foot injury in the 2021-2022 season.
According to NBA expert Charles Barkley, Willamson needs to hold himself more accountable as he feels that he needs to look into his weight, fitness and dietary issues if he wants to last a full season and win games for his team. He further stated what Williamson is going through at the moment, is not fair on the NBA, or on the player himself or to his current side the Orleans Pelicans.
He can hire a chef with the amount of money he is making – Charles Barkley
“He needs to get in shape, plain and simple,” Barkley said. “You know, this is professional basketball. We’re not babysitters. To make the kind of money, these guys are making today, I don’t think it’s a lot to tell guys to get in shape. He told SportsCenter. “Hey, I don’t know. Zion seems like a good kid, but it sounds to me like he doesn’t have great people around him, you know, because your friends – I was blessed to have Moses – but your family and friends should say, yo, man, you’re going to screw up your future,” he added.
“It’s not fair to the Pelicans. It’s not fair to the NBA. But the bottom line, he just got to get in shape, plain and simple. And listen, hire a chef. The kind of money he’s making, hire you a personal chef. So he just got to grow up, plain and simple.” he further reiterated. Williamson on the other hand has stated that he wants to get fit and get back on track.
