Gotta be careful with KP bulking up. At the 7'3 you want to keep as little stress on his feet as possible. The only necessity for him is to gain some lower body strength so he'll be able to defend 5s.

People always equate strength to arm muscle

KP should be working his core and lower body, both of which aren't as noticeable as bicep/tricep growth, but will help him much more

KP reminds me so much build-wise of KG. He doesn't need to turn into Zo. He'll continue to get stronger.

If Phil pulled that off, I would put a put a paper bag over my head, paste a picture of Jeannie on it, poke a hole through the mouth, and give Phil the best BJ he's ever had in his entire life.[/quote]

They're going to see each other in Africa next month I believe. Hopefully he's going to be able to work with him there. He better learn that damn fadeaway.
