I don't think he was calling anyone out- just trying to lower expectations to more realistic levels. this isn't an agent looking out for his client though- he's a trainer who pushes players hard so I do believe him if he doesn't think eddy should become that light.
285lbs is mere 5lbs from the low end of what D'Antoni said. There is no doubt Weatherspoon was speaking of D'Antoni (who has never been much of a believer in Curry to begin with). Walsh has been a bit more optimistic. So I can see where anyone in Curry's camp may have the perception that D'Antoni may not exactly be shaking the pom-poms rooting for Curry to succeed. Now Weatherspoon probably went 5lbs less than the coach's exact quote because that has been Curry's listed weight (falsley) for years in the NBA and he most likely believes that the coach looks at that number (or slightly above it) as a benchmark of where he should be. 'Spoon said "coaches" but lets be forreal here...who exactly else would he be talking about? Phil Jackson?
maybe he was talking about scott skiles?? skiles is the one who made him come in at 275 lbs. one year (the one where eddy supposedly took the ephedra that messed with his heart). anyway 285 is really only 15 lbs. off from the low end of weatherspoon's weight target too. I don't want to nitpick about this though- I'm still cracking up over your skid mark-mud slide remark (although pretty gross haha).
He's could be referring to all the coaches Curry's had in the NBA, since his weight has been a problem his whole career. I doubt it because this guy hasn't been Curry's trainer his whole career. Which means he's more than likely going off of recent happenings with the Knicks.
Does it make it any better if he was strictly referring to Skiles or Curry's sob-sob stories to him crying how Skiles would tell him he could get rebounds if he simply jumped but can't because he's not 285?
Know this our coach has publicly derided his conditioning and weight problem. Never was fond of Curry from day one and didn't even want to use him when Curry was trying to get back on the court last yr
This case has been cracked on solved already link provided.
Move on to the next doubt of reason so I can do what I do.
