How will Stern pay for his basketball reasons for blocking the CP3 trade?

Same way as always, by building a dynasty.

Oh crap.

Hope the guys here know you dont necessarily need muscle mass to increase your strength. With good training KD can still be as strong as anyone without looking as big

That's why Ronnie Coleman is so lean and lanky.

Taking conditioning advice from Kendrick Perkins is a bad idea.

Taking advice from a top 50 center last year is a bad idea???

You know he sucks when you have to qualify him as top 50 when there's only 30 teams in the league.

I feel bad the dumbed down version of your joke got all the likes

stay away from the weight room Durant. Look what happened to Tmac.

If tmac hit a weight room earlier in his career hed still be playing.

Kobe bulked up summer of 03 and for 3 years after that we saw what that did to his game...

RE: Kobe

Remember guys, correlation=/=causation

What else happened around the same time that Kobe bulked-up? Remember that dude named Shaq? Remember how he was traded to Miami? Don't you think that might be a bigger reason why Kobe's ppg increased? Just a thought...

Also, was Kobe really a different baller when he got bigger? If anything, I remember him taking more outside jumpers and driving to the rim less.

[D.Brasco]

He's definitely gotta get that weight up

[Flannerz]

If he doesn't hit the weights he'll fall over if Lance Stephenson blows on him

'Strength training' and 'size training' while related arent the same. Bodybuilders focus on the latter while performance athletes focus on the former. Have you ever seen any professional athlete as big as ronnie coleman? If you've never played sports before you could have at least done some research on the topic before making ignorant one-liners.

You're the one making an ignorant post. Have you ever seen a skinny Olympic weightlifter? Of course they aren't going to be as big as a bodybuilder because they don't train for size, but they sure as hell aren't going to be skinny or lanky.

what? I never claimed Durant would stay skinny. Are you even reading the posts that are being quoted. I said he can still be as strong "without looking as big". He will gain some muscle either way hence why I said "they are related" but doesnt have to have the physique or frame of a lebron or a westbrook to be strong. My point being he could get necessary significant strength gains with thee right training without looking like the hulk.

He needs to improve his handles and his postgame

He pretty much already did if you compare him now to him in his rookie year.


KG's size and strength would be the absolute best case scenario for him and I personally don't think he'll ever get there with this genetics. He could get there if he quit basketball and focused more on lifting, but as an NBA player I think he'll always be pretty skinny regardless of how much he lifts (that's not to say he can't get stronger because he already did get stronger since his rookie year). He does too much endurance work and probably doesn't eat enough to compensate for how many calories he's burning.
