The player shared in a podcast about his struggles, and because of them, he played only 114 regular-campaign matches in 4 seasons. The host asked him about eating healthy food to be in shape.

“It’s not easy,” Zion admitted. “I’m young, have all the money in the world — well, it feels like I can buy anything. It’s a struggle.

“I’m at that point now because of certain things; I’m trying to get wiser each day. I don’t want to say older because they get defensive, but I’m giving people around me wisdom. I need to start from somewhere and improve each day.”
