Zion Williamson's name has been making the rounds on the internet for.. well, being round. The New Orleans Pelicans forward was seen rocking a red track suit in a recent sideline appearance where he looked rather large.

There's no question that Zion Williamson has had a significant weight gain compared to where he was during his first two seasons or during his lone year at Duke. But exactly how heavy is still being debated.
However, in a recent appearance on ESPN writer Zach Lowe's Lowe Post podcast, ESPN insider Tim MacMahon was revealed Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic's weight. The discussion eventually trickled into some insight into what he's been hearing regarding the Pelicans star's reported weight.
“What was the figure you just gave?” Lowe asked MacMahon on Luka Doncic's weight.
“260 plus. He has to stop doing that,” MacMahon responded.
“What does Zion weight then? I know he weighs more than that, but 260?” Lowe said, imagining how heavy the Pelicans star would compare to Doncic.
“The number I've heard from several places on Zion is 70 pounds higher than 260, so I'll let you do the math on that,” MacMahon retorted.

If you don't want to do the math, we've got you covered. If Tim MacMahon's sources are correct, then Zion Williamson would weight 330 pounds at the moment.
That's more than prime Shaquille O'Neal's reported 325 playing weight while being half a foot shorter than him. Not exactly great news for the Pelicans and their fans, if true.
