The physics of Zion Williamson | Just Curious 

Hope he doesnt land on his heels

Yeah sad that true, derick rose has fall too hard

nahhh, rose was killing his knees, zion not landing like him

D rose got hurt a lot and he wasn’t 280 so yeah that’s probably bad

Me too man, but it’s even more concerning because rose was a light player.

lmao

Hami Adames speaks fax

Sarcasm tho

Even when the cop sees you kill someone, they still have to investigate

zion is the athletic big smoke

I think he just needs to land better.

greg heffley nah nobody needs to be that heavy

You dont need to be near 300lbs or heavier if you arent a centre or power forward thats at least 6’9 imo lmao.

He’s gonna lean out he’s only 19 no need to force weight loss

260 sounds good to me,i think hes got baby weight he needs to work off so 260 would be perfect for him

Especially his early years when he was on the magic.

True buddy

What?

With the hops of derick Jones Jr mixed with mj

Thinks**

Daniel Donovan how tf did you understand that

@@Xvisio o but it will be cos zion's just built different

Because most NBA fans don't have in-depth knowledge regarding physics.

Yh i laughed hard at that part 😂 velocity is measured in m/s

I'm glad somebody else noticed that awful math. I am horrendous at physics but I know enough to realize the velocity equation made no sense.

I actually cringed at that as well. For a second I had to pause the video and second guess myself since I didn’t take physics since it was required for my engineering degree. But even after these years, I’m glad to see I wasn’t crazy lol.

I stopped watching the video after that. Thought this would actually be a scientific video, didn't even realize it was ESPN until after I saw that. No idea what assumption he's using for E either, which is actually calculated (1/2)mv^2. Disapointing.

A Fact.

Zion "I'm only 6'6" Williamson

@@catnip-it8rx that part is the biggest concert

Saad Sarwar no it’s not? The weight is the biggest concern if he was 240 no one would even be saying anything

Really Luka i just turned 20 is a walking double double and eat zions lunch last they played and scored like 38 pts on him

His knees dont even bend at landing. Very bad for his heel too

Highschool and college ball isn't the same as NBA the physicality isn't similar.

Zion will dominate the next 10 years.

@@blader3 yea college Is more physical then this cupcake league Boy stop it

@@blader3 His body is growing and becoming stronger

It goes both ways. His size is his biggest asset like LBJ. But at sametime so many players his size tend to be injury prone. Hes already started carear with injury. LBJ is one of few big players that hasnt been plauged with injuries his carear. But look at AD and boogie cousins for example. But shortend carears yao ming ralph sampson to name 2 but been many over the years

Yeah but he will have made himself, espn and the NBA a lot of coin in the process. He will make mistakes ... he's 19, count on it.

They have no obligation to Zion. They can "backstab" him anyway they want to. Zion and his fans need to stop being sensitive and emotional ala Durant.

Goated Gary Yea I hope he don't feed into it because media is the devil

thats how sports journalism works. thats why they are adressing his "potentially career destroying build" cuz people like to see people fail a lot of times

Who’s here after there’s no more Zion left this season. Well actually... no more NBA😂

Jeong Wook Park back trouble ain’t no joke

Matt Smith I’m saying Zion Williamson reminds me of Larry Johnson and with one injury, Big Grandma’s career was over and Hornets chucked him to the Knicks. Zion Williamson is physical marvel and I wish him the best but he is 6’6 at 300. A good size if he is OL or DL but look at the way he lands awkwardly, and tell me you don’t hold breath every time when you see that. The Pelicans need him and I’m saying that if he should be careful and I want to watch him play with enthusiasm and bowling over people in the paint for over decade not only a few years.

I hope so, too because he played for a whole year, he would have been ROY

Larry Johnson wasn’t ANYTHING like Zion! Zion is way bigger and way more explosive

@@joshnic6639 they are talking about what will potentially happen to zion. Not how their games are similar

Lmaooooooo

@nellek970 Cap

@@Wesley-kk2ir nah

@nellek970 i do agree as Lebron James knows better the actual league than MJ, he could teach him how to flop, how to create a super team, how to avoid playing too much, the load management and so on, MJ know nothing about that.

@nellek970 Roids.

@nellek970 LeBron is obviously on roids.

Go check out Lukas numbers from last year they were better and in his 2nd year hes a walking double double and up for MVP. You dont watch much basketball huh LMAO

@YouWouldn'tGetIt bro you must be high. Zion is definitely elite...

😂

But he might losses his explosiveniss if he just losses like 10 or 20 pounds would be better

He wouldn’t be able to bully in the paint without the weight he has right now

No way his body will hold up if he don't

@@ryanandrews. do he really play in the paint? i thought he more of like lbj.. driving through the paint instead of playing post up in the paint..

Exactly, you go to the front of the class!

D Rose got a coach who puts him 42 to 44 minutes a game and during that injury they were up by 14 with 2 or less minutes to go. Nobody can physically survive that coaching on a long run.

Cameron Ching wouldn’t say nobody

what happened

@@MrCAHRLIE22 this season is suspended due to coronavirus

Well it’s good for Zion I wish him everything best but he really needs to drop 30-40 pounds minimum

And its sad af😭😭😭😭

@@MrCAHRLIE22 this man took too long nap or what?😂

Bro i literally after hearing this saying that bro

Idk I feel like if he can just remain healthy he’s fine

Unfortunately Zion's strengths are also its weaknesses. All giants have their Achilles heel. I have a feeling that Williamson's career will not be as long as that of KING 🤴🏾 James

He just lost a lot of weight

yep even shaq was dangerous on his self

I was just scrolling down the comments for the first to mention Sir Charles. I absoltely I agree. He's by far the best comparison to Zion. I guess you've seen that Barkly highlight reel vid on youtube?

That’s not even close to the top of the backboard. The camera angle makes it seem closer than it is but he’s probably halfway between the box and the top of the backboard

7

CaSH Carti Jay yup and the bend knees upon landing

CaSH Carti Jay Then he definitely gon break that backboard or rim, bet on it 🤣

DC Crazy52 nah they fixed the rims cause shaq kept breaking them

He was 270lbs as a senior and 265 lbs his junior year in high school, he's not small boned, his wrists and ankles are thick, if he loss weight he'd lose stamina, strength and energy...that's his normal size, but y'all will say Brandon Ingram needs to gain weight...it's about skills not weight.

You dont have to say your high, that's a bad influence and it's really not cool at all.

Jed I. Knight Nah that’s hilarious you’re chilling 😂

@@etxsports5836 I know some of yall are young on here, but this was the same thing people were saying about Shaq. He was a thick 7 foot center, the world had never seen before. People were saying that Shaq was too big, it wasn't sustainable, and no one could do anything with him, yet he had a long and successful career. Zion is proportioned well, he has thick legs and arms and a normal sized belly for his height. He is a physical specimen, true, weight is an issue for everyone in sports, but they are trying to tell him he is going to get hurt purely because he is big. That's junk science.

Yeah 15 20 no more than that

Jeremiah Gilyard nah they got full on medical papers on Micheal Jordan and Shaq

Hater

Its irritating isn't it. Can't just enjoy watchin him play they have to project some catastrophic injury on him.

He is just gonna get injured and it will ruin his career, see Blake Griffin

They said Bolt wouldn't be as fast because of his height (they were wrong). They're saying Zion is more injury prone because of his size, unfortunately, I think they're right. Either way, those are two very different things.

'never asked' thats pretty much 100% of sports media

@@kylemills9658 YES..ITS TOO BIG DIFFERENT THINGS..USAIN BOLT YES HE IS TALL...BUT HIS STRIDE AND HIS HEIGHT MEANS MORE POWER TO THE GROUND...AND HIS FINISH..THE LAST 30METERS...IS WERE BOLT PULLS AWAY...BUT" BASKETBALL...IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT ANIMAL...YOU HAVE TO BE QUICK...FAST.. STRONG..AND HAVE GREAT INDURANCE TO PLAY PRO PLAYERS NIGHT IN AND NIGHT OUT"..THEN THERE'S THE JUMPING UP..& LANDING...THE KNEES AND THE JOINTS THAT YOU NEED TO GET YOU UP AND DOWN THE COURT...IS YOUR FUTURE IN THIS SPORT...BOXING IS THE SAME...IF YOU HURT YOUR HANDS YOU CANT FIGHT...IF YOUR LEGS AND FEET AND KNEES ARE NO GOOD...YOU ARE A EASY TARGET....THE ROPES IS NOT YOUR FRIEND...27MIN A GAME IS A START...FOR ZION..I HOPE EVERY ONE IS WRONG AND HE PLAYS A GOOD 10 TO 15 YRS... THAT'S 29YRS OLD OR 34YRS OLD...BUT" IF HE CONTINUES TO HURT HIS KNEES OR HIS LOWER BODY PARTS...HE WILL HAS TO RETIRE...OR HE WANT BE ABLE TO WALK....OR... STAND UP...PERIOD...GRANT HILL...IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THIS... INJURIES KEPT HIM OFF THE THE FLOOR...IT IS WHAT IT IS...**ONE#1**

Jordan Brooks ? Yes at that size yes

But he usually hangs on rim.

247 365 yeah to land on both notice he looks at the ground before landing to make sure

@@SNO-Bigfoot yup

This is true, he needs to lose a bit of weight at the rate he’s coming of the ground

i think it would be safer if he dropped to 265 pounds

He got it

One surgery and now he’s injury prone 😂

Go watch a video about how D. Rose used to land, and you'll realize why this is so scary for someone who has potentially 300 lbs of weight on their knee.

Suffered the same kind of injuries in High school. Also, once you have surgery that part of your body is always prove to being reinjured.

The amount of force he’s coming down with is a lot.the Kinect energy has to reach the floor. One wrong mechanical movement and he tears a ligament in his knee. The study of biomechanics is not new and people should be concerned he weights almost 300 pounds and the fact he can get high off the floor is either a gift or a curse.

William Guzman listen buddy he is 19 and bullying grown man that’s how he is built atop jinxing him it’s like y’all want him to get hurt.

Which wouldn't be bad

@@MrStensnask yes it is

Nightstark you missed the entire point of this segment 😑 its because of his weight that he has to be careful when coming down from the rim. All that Kinect energy is not transferring to the floor. One bad mechanical movement and he ruins his knee.

Nightstark He played one season, and he got injured... He was injured in high school. He is done. And with no shooting touch he will be a highlight show for 3 seasons then he'll break down quickly.

oath. that man has rockets strapped onto his shoes. Freak athlete on all levels

Don't you think he's used to jumping with good body weight for years no? He's knows how to adapt his body

Not without a Shot.... He ain't

Blakes body is like glass. Has bad temper too

@@jerickalberca4503 and he’s trash asf

wang chang 3-5 😂😂

Not likely

I bet he has a better chance than Lebron to have 6-0 finals record.

A big truck

“ he plays ferocious Defense”. Are we watching the same games ?????

I’d be worried about his knees. I hope he can remain healthy cause it sucks to see careers cut short.

@@the_comedycritic6066 he needs to lose weight and focus more on shooting and defense. If he wants a +10 year career.

Shaq was not as explosive
