Episode two, all the smoke. Welcome back, myself, Jack. Hope you guys enjoyed Episode 0 and Episode 1.

About a week and a half into the season. And I couldn't be more excited, man.

Just getting started, baby. Just getting started.

So we fun. Zion is about six weeks out. We found out, you know, about a week and a half ago.

That, uh, Maniscus. Not surprised at all. I wouldn't be either. Uh, to me, I think it's, it's, it's overhiked.

I think they're trying to paint a crazy picture early on that he's too big and he's too this and he's too that.

A Maniscus is an injury that can happen to anybody like a sprained ankle. But I will say I, I do think in the scheme of things when he starts to kind of understand

what the rigors of the NBA are about, how many gains, what the travels like. I think he will need to come down to probably about 260 to 65.

I think that's on or probably be the best Zion for the league because of how long the season is and, you know, the travel and how much they're going to depend on him.

His body, everybody knew was going to be a problem or be an issue coming into the season.

You mean issue in a negative way?

Yeah, because it's the difference between looking like a grown man and playing with grown man. It's a totally big difference.

You know, uh, he was bigger than all the kids, but the wear and tear, the wrestling with those stronger guys, the quarters way more open in the NBA.

So he's going to get easier dunks in the NBA than he did in college because he's playing with better players and make better plays for him.

So I knew his body. I knew it was a, it was a plus that he was big like that. But I also knew it was a minus two because not having a muscle structure type body and being such an athlete.

I knew somewhere down the line. He was going to have some problems before he lost that weight. You know what I'm saying?

I knew he was going to be a point where there's going to have to force him to lose some weight.

I wish it wasn't an injury because I wanted to see him. But I knew it was going to be something like that that was going to happen for him to have to lose her force him to lose weight because he wasn't going to do it on his own.

Well, take it, but it's not like when we say like, wait, it's not like he's fat or out of shape. He's just a big ass kid.

But you know, when you get in basketball shape, like LeBron's huge, but he's lean. He's still got a lot of baby fat on him. He got a lot of baby fat on him.

But I think that also comes to what were you doing in, in Eden at 19? You got, we got to remember that he's still a teenager.
