    OP was on Oct. 21 that said Zion would be out 6-8 weeks. Now it's more than 8 weeks and he is still learning to walk? This sounds like some Rockets medical BS.

    We are going to have to watch Zion knowing that his next leap could be his last.

    For a casual fan it might even add to the excitement. But for the Pelicans fans it might be pretty stressful having a superstar talent that's 100% reliant on his freaky athleticism while being overweight.

    I didn’t really go through much. It was a small 3A program. It wasn’t a drawn out process. It mainly consisted of me walking and running and watching it on film and being made aware of how I was landing on my feet and then being showed the correct way. It was more of me just being made aware of it and how it could put a strain on my knees rather than a long process to fix.

    How do you not revert back to old habits though after forming the muscle memory for over a decade.

    I definitely did not correct the issue. I still walk on the sides of my feet but at least I’m aware of the issues it could cause if I were someone that played at a high level.

    Is this the classic case of jumping before knowing how to walk?

    If he plays 10 minutes a game, can he play 80 games?

    I don't know man. He's dunking and putting all that stress on those knees/ligaments unnecessarily. Someone needs to tell him to save those for the games, and games only. Don't dunk while still in rehab in some random shootaround. But then again, I guess the Pelicans want to build some hype to fill up those seats.

    Espn will renounce picking up the rockets/denver game and switch it to the pelicans/spurs game
