Zion Williamson recently opened up about the struggles he faced with his weight while he was rehabbing a broken foot during the 2021–22 NBA season. He told ESPN’s Malika Andrews in an interview that he was feeling “really low” seeing all the criticism coming his way regarding his weight as he struggled to get back onto the court.
During that difficult time for Williamson, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith was one of his harshest critics. After this week’s interview with Andrews, Smith doubled down on his previous comments and went so far to call Williamson a “food addict” among other things on Tuesday’s First Take episode.
