Look at Collins in photo #14... I thought the dude was suppose to lose weigh? He looks like he gain 20lbs.


McCollins? No, that has to stay with McMay.

How about What-a-Collins? :lol:
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

The funny thing is, I was actually excited to have Collins on the team... But now seeing how unfit and overweight he is, it just shows his character and his desire to be in the NBA. He's knows he's on a non-guarantee contract, and he knows he needed to lose weight but yet he didn't work hard to make it happen.

Very disappointed in Collins.

He's got a large frame and is really strong for his height. I've got a similar frame. I couldn't lose any more weight and stay healthy, so maybe that's why.

I'll give him the benefit of a doubt until I read that he's been cut. If he can keep that weight AND play at his highest level, I have no problem with him being a little chubster.

Don't know if this was ever posted but this is Collins back in May at a pre draft camp. He was sporting a 6 pack then and shows it to the camera. Looks like he was in good shape but NBA shape is a whole other ballgame and looking the way he looks now, this dude is destined for a hamstring pull ala Eddy Curry.

He looks in shape in the video(hitting jumpers), I would mind him going into the season like that.

But at Media-Day, he looks like he's Rick Ross's son.

Look at that most recent pic I posted. His arms are cut up pretty good. Usually if you're a big guy, you won't have definition in your arms. He's always had a thick frame, so maybe he just packed a ton of muscle on it like Running Backs do in the NFL, real short but stocky as hell. (Jameer Nelson)




EDIT: DX has him at a 9.2% body fat in the combine--which really isn't bad at all (Lance Stephenson had 9.3, Evan Turner and Greivis Vasquez had 8.6, If I recall correctly, he was overweight then due to an ankle injury or something and has since lost most of it. So I expect that number to be lower now. He's just a big bodied, swole type of guy

Another thing that we learned is why Michael Jordan decided to take a chance on Kwame Brown. It's because 28-year-old Kwame looks exactly like 47-year-old Michael. It makes a whole lot of sense now.

That picture of Matt Carroll turned me gay. He's like homosexual Medusa.

Kwame Brown is Michael Jordan's bastard child? I think so. That would explain a lot over the past decade.

Glad you like him, tell you what, we will let you have him for Howard as long as you include a draft pick.
