As a Laker fan, I hope he gains 50 lbs more, SGA to add 70 lbs more.

Double edge sword ..atleast in some sports

For example Kevin Love shedding like 60lbs kinda hurt his rebounding effectiveness

Was exactly what I was thinking. And from my observation it really destroyed his ability to post up. Skinny Love couldn’t even move NBA SFs

Please let me be there when someone calls him overweight to his face!

I'm still confused. We're in a thread where nobody is disagreeing with fat shaming Jokic...and he's been fat shamed before and got skinny praised when he did lose weight...like actual weight, not off season bs. I feel like we're living in a fantasy land.

Why? I wouldn't say it to his brothers...but Jokic? He'd likely agree.

But again...we already saw him do this. This isn't hypothetical. He was thin when he won the title. He's gained some weight back and even last year, despite me defending Jokic's defense to the crazy people saying he's a bad defender. He was better in 2023 at a lower weight. This isn't something we are speculating on. He is better when he's lighter.

To be fair...he was trying to get "fashion model" skinny...which was wild. He's also really the biggest exception to thinner is better. We even saw Duncan after bulking a few years and struggling, realize it was time to drop the weight.

Kevin Love went from too much body fat to, instead of getting leaner, while remaining strong, he went to skinny 6'7 PF, lol

I mean, he looked lean, lean, and of course 60lbs is a lot and he went past the threshold of maintaining some of the advantages he had. If we think of a contemporary of his, he became skinnier than Blake Griffin, when that was around the size he should have been aiming for.

Of course I believe his weight loss was not just for basketball and had other motivations too, which is okay, it's his body and life.

Weight maybe but he's definitely not in game shape.

Luka should've been MVP in 2024. And he's actually beaten a team with more than 51 wins in the playoffs before

17 pages of one person criticizing Jokic and everyone telling him he's wrong doesn't exactly negate 1993Playoffs point.

Anthony Davis was the same, bulking hurt his overall mobility compared to his Pels physique

He has the 2nd highest playoff PER of all time, second only to Jordan.

let's put this way... Jokers knows how to take care of himself and his job, he knows what he is doing... his weight has not been a problem for him in any aspect of his game, and has a big advantage when he bangs down low...
