ESPN wrote:"For all the new faces, the Clippers will only go as far as veteran Baron Davis takes them. Davis, a Hall of Fame talent who's spent half his career underachieving, can put L.A. in the playoffs if he's engaged or in the dumpster if he loafs. Midsummer reports weren't good, as sources said the 6-3 point guard was up to 260 pounds, 45 pounds above his listed playing weight."
Discuss.

A gross exaggeration by Broussard. There have been pics and videos of Baron recently and it is doubtful that the guy gained 30-40 pounds in the last couple of days
Those are pics from Baron's Celebrity Charity event last week. He's nowhere close to 260lbs.

I got scared about Baron's weight before I saw these pics. Baron really needs to control his weight while he's playing. I really hope he's motivated this year.

Baron does look heavy, although not 260 heavy. Still I think he could do with dropping ~30lbs to get his quicks back.

Good ole espn throwing out random crap on slow news days. They should be discussing sidney rice's surgery and the impact it will have on farve, then go into another 40-45 min video package of farve's career.

I think ESPN is ridiculous for even saying Baron weighed that much

The sad thing is that because it's Baron and he's a Clipper, it's not that far-fetched for people to believe.

You can tell espn is trying to take a huge dump on Baron Davis and the clippers because of what his career has been and what his reputation is.

The false reports by BSPN get ridiculous! In those Pics, Baron is not a lb. over 230.

if he does have significant weight gain, I see another injury plague season for this guy.
