Jefferson talks about Zion s weight loss: Some people don t get fat no matter how they eat. Obviously he is & Doncic is not like this

October 2 News Today NBA commentator Richard Jefferson talked about Zion's situation on the podcast show RoadTrippin '.

"Zion has special abilities, but maximizing this abilities requires some maintenance. Just like Luca, if you don't maximize your abilities, it doesn't mean you're bad or not an All-Star, nor does it mean you won't be in the Hall of Fame in the future. But every basketball player, if your body fat rate should be 10%, and you're 16%, you're not the best self, and we can tell from your performance," Jefferson said.

"Everyone has a different physique, and some players can eat as they please, but they have a hard time gaining muscle. Some players are prone to muscle building, but they have to make sure they don't add too much fat to maintain flexibility. We all have to make sacrifices based on their size. We can see that Zion and Doncic are in the latter. When he doesn't control his weight, it can lead to injuries, underperforming and off-field problems. I'm glad he's trying to be the best self, which is obvious," Jefferson said.
