the problem is that he needs to change his life. dropping weight as fast as he does burns muscle, and muscle in the areas he is strengthening to prevent injury.... leading to more injury.

He is. An NBA player should never not have a 6 pack or a flat stomach (at minimum)

There are some exceptions like Boris Diaw or Batum.


Gave Raymond Felton the pass here.


But Shaq, eddy curry, zbo all out of shape guys

He’s not flashing any signs, he’s saying that he’s down 4 burgers so far

We just need to accept that money changes people once they’ve made it, and most times it’s not as much change as indifference towards what got them there. We’ll never know until we hit the lotto ourselves. We should expect him to be better, but it’s fine, the NBA is loaded with talent, and some are diabolical in their preparation regardless of the fat bank. I hope he pulls through though, he’s fun to watch when he’s on.

This is not threadworthy. It's just a random picture of Zion.
