As Pelicans star Zion Williamson trains this offseason to return to the New Orleans lineup and hopefully avoid injury, he opened up about his current training regimen and changing his diet.
Williamson has faced criticism about his body since the onset of his NBA career, with critics citing it as a contributing factor to his injuries. While Williamson is adopting the LeBron James workout regimen this offseason, he was candid with his struggles with his changing diet.
“There are times when I say ‘That s--- is hard. It’s hard,’” Williamson said on the Gil’s Arena show with Gilbert Arenas. “When you’re 20 … 22, a lot of money, feels like all the money in the world man, it is hard. I’m at that point now because of certain things, putting back the wisdom around me about certain things, I don’t wanna say they’re older because they get defensive, but I’m just putting people around me with wisdom that are putting me on game with certain things, and just go from there.”
