the talking point being pushed around lately seems to be "ZION is over weight, can't move, out of shape"
i mean... he looked like he was moving great in that game before he bruised his knee. 
I never know what level of bullshit meter to apply to the sports journalists in the US. Here in Aus there's about a 50/50 ratio so it's pretty easy. The market is that small that there's only a few journos who will go off the reservoir. From what I see though on ESPN and Undisputed, etc it could be 80/20 over there. Most of what I watch these days I write off completely.
ESPN is awful.. I like Jalen/Paul Pierce etc - ie real pros.. but Smith/Kellerman? awful.
basically, if a sports analyst "yells" and goes on some kind of loud preacher-like rant, they are full of shit. That's Smith, Kellerman, and a bunch of folks on ESPN. It's just theater.
As for ZION ... i dno. I don't see how him being 285, 300, or 265 has any affect on him taking a knee-to-knee collision. Being 285+ might take it's toll on him in an 82+ game season, but we don't have an idea yet. He was doing great in college before his shoe imploded. Would be great if he ends up being LEBRON-DURABLE in the NBA - tough to do tho.
