BMI in NBA players? Check out this study of NBA players showing there was a significant association with mensicus tears and BMI > 25. So yes, I do think it's still relevant. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/22130472/

BMI is literally the worst indicator of anything. Association is merely a correlation, doesn't mean it caused anything. BMI doesnt account for differences in bone structure and pretends we are all built the same. It's a trash stat that is almost worthless. He isn't obese. That's just ridiculous. But according to BMI he is? Just shows you how dumb of an indicator it is...

@Patchesmcgee123

You can cite any article you want, this is complete garbage science and as an "MD" you know it! BMI has long been a useless indicator, because (as I'm sure you know) there is no account for lean mass percentage. This also negates any article which attributes meniscus tears to BMI. For starters, how do you measure the fact that someone with a high BMI might have tons of muscle, developed through lifting weights, which has during the process strengthened their tendons and joints too. You can't measure that if you use BMI! This is a garbage video.

Personally, I think BMI is a horrible measurement in general, especially for athletes. Guys like JJ Watt (who is 6’5 285) are considered obese even though they are in the best shape of their lives. That being said, football is completely different game than basketball because there is not as much force coming down on the athletes knees. It would not hurt Zion to drop some weight. He obviously won’t lose that much power considering he’ll still be one of the biggest guys on the court and his longevity will be boosted.

Love these vids! Best channel on KZread!

New subscriber here. Heard about you from Kevin O’Connor on the Ringer NBA podcast. I’ve been asking that NBA podcasts or channels employ someone with your expertise and communications ability for many years. The Athletic or LockedOn NBA or The Ringer should hire you for regular hits, and for analysis of major injuries to key players. It’s gotten to a point where most NBA media members don’t recklessly opine or speculate about injuries, and often note, “I’m not a doctor, but...”, yet it has always seemed to me that actually having a MD to speak -in general terms- about specific injuries would improve the understanding of fans and members of the press. Kudos.

Nice vid, would it be possible for something on OBJ's sports hernia

Very informative video about knees, as always. Thanks doc!

Thank you for posting the references! I think another thing to mention would be the quality of rehab he’s gonna be getting in terms of the average obese person and their physical rehabilitation that occurs immediately after and weeks/months following the surgery. From research I’ve read, long term outcomes (1+years) are generally the same for general vs specific rehabs but for a high level athlete the few weeks right after do matter a lot. Just a thought, keep up the great content Dr. B!

the stress on knees is insane how much it improves when you lose weight my knees and shins where in so much pain at 240 and running 1 mile was killing me and was taking almost 12 min ive lost 36 pounds but it only took the first 10 to make it an 8 minute mile now I don't feel complete without running 6 miles. knees feel so much better now also

I'm 6'6", I weigh 200 lbs. 283 would be absolutely insane for me to do what he does.

conclusion: Put on 15 pounds and start at left tackle for the saints

I think he should go down to his previous weight of 272 lbs first,and see how that works out

Given the situation at hand, in terms of having his weight reach ‘normal’ levels , would not be beneficial for his recovery as well. Most likely change in style of play and his role in the system of the team may be best bet to maintain longevity for his career 👍

@Ben Daulton wow really? So he somehow got switched places with a twin brother and faked all the DNA evidence that the body is him? Amazing. We need Penn and Teller break this slight of hand down for us.

How about his body fat percentage relative to BMI? Pretty crucial metric to put his weight in context.

He's pretty fat for a pro athlete.

No he’s not fat at all. . Google any picture of him and he has a more muscular and lean physique than 99% of people you’ll ever see.

the problem is still the weight on the joints. Excess weight is still a problem even if its muscle.

Why do you think he’s at an injury risk when NFL TEs and Defensive Ends often have similar body types?

I don't think it's quite fair to compare these two sports. In terms of what forces are applied to the body, they're pretty different. Especially with Zion's style of play, what with all the jumping and landing, and the spinning; he puts too much pressure on his knees. I highly doubt NFL players can compare to that.

Not quite my tempo really? I have to strongly disagree with you there. Tight Ends are often leaping into the air to make catches, and planting their feet to make incredibly sharp cuts. Defensive ends are bending at a 45 degree angle and absorbing the contact of the 300 lb men across from them. And both often have opponents “roll up” on their legs. It’s hard for me to imagine that there’s a unique force only applied on the knee when playing Basketball

@@SnackMuay I don't know man, I ain't no expert. I just think that landing on a field and landing on the harder basketball court is quite different. And they probably take a lot of the forces on their upper body - the NFL players that is. And again, that doesn't necessarily apply to all players, but a b-ball player with Zion's weight and with his explosive style is bound to put a lot on his knees. I remember seeing clips of him as a college player when all the hype started and I was thinking that style can't possibly have longevity. He's too heavy to play like that. There's a reason a guy like Giannis for instance never had an injury problem. He's very explosive and puts a lot of force on his knees but he was a feather weight as a rookie and still is quite thin or in any case he has a very healthy body type.

I heard the Pelican's staff straight up re-taught Zion how to run again.. which completely makes sense. He learned how to run when he was a kid.. and then he grew to like 6'5" when he was 13.. and continued to run the same way.
