Yea, with guys like Lebron, his first years, he was fit and pretty lean-ish. Then later on, he just got jacked.
Could be he just wanted to get stronger, or he realized he was a lot better trying to work the inside more.
edit: My dad mentioned the same thing about MJ. For awhile, MJ was skinny as hell, but then after getting mauled in public by the Pistons one too many times, MJ really must of hit the gym or something.

Anecdote about Jordan is that people told him to not lift at all because it would "ruin his shot". So he kinda exploded because he went from almost no lifting to an actual program.

He's REALLY gotta hit the weight room because he's significantly less effective purely because he's not strong right now. Otherwise he's been quite solid. Ya sometimes I hold my breath ha. But it's just nice to see him being aggressive while on offense lately. He actually wasn't driving much during the preseason and first few games of the regular season. He would run the P&R and really only look to pass. But now he is taking it in more and turning the corner on those defenders.
His defense has been pretty solid though. His length and underrated understanding on that end has already been able to make an impact on most games.
Deng on the other hand, my god. Everytime I hear he is 31 I am surprised because he plays like he is 35. Those years in Chicago that Thibs ran him into the ground are really showing now. Can't believe still three more years after this one SMH.

3 minutes left in the first and Clippers up 35-7 on the Nets. Time to bring in the bench now lol.
|
Loving all the umbrage "Lebron's camp" (whatever that means) is taking over PJ's comment.
|
I'm pretty sure its Reilly's word being transcribed through Phil. In any case, they are a posse. You can tell me about how good of a businessman you are when the rest of your book of business is worth more than Lebron's brand.
|
I just saw that posse semantic crap a little bit ago. I was thinking more of the previous comments about him wanting thing this way.
|
its funny how organizations try so hard to get people to dislike them. now that trump is president, several teams are not going to stay at trump hotels now. in my mind that makes what they're doing even worse, only doing something when there's public outrage. same reason why ill never cheer on the clippers or their players.

Mark Fuhrman said the LAPD is a Posse. what's the problem here? looks like a bunch of guys looking for reasons to be offended.

No kidding. I mean, everyone knew that the team would be completely different after Byron and Kobe left, but I think most of us underestimated just how different they'd be.

Lakers beating the teams they're suppose to win against, guess that Mozgov deal was not bad. You can't really hate the them this year, Luke playing d during training makes them even more likable. And Nick Young going full tryhard this season.
But anyone else really hate the new NBA website? It's an abomination, who the hell decided on this rubbish layout. Looks like a half-assed mobile version for desktops.

Everyone hates the new NBA.com
I'd wager even PTI and TNT have weighed in on how terrible it is.

i was actually complimenting espn :D

i was amplifying your point next time i'll make that more clear.
Colangelo in Philly
in an earlier NBA thread i evaluated Colangelo as an average GM. Based upon the development the past 3 years of his draft picks and staff hires in Toronto i'd like to adjust that evaluation and say he is slightly above average to above average as a GM/Prez/B-Ball Operations guy. I know it looks bleak in Philly right now but as long as ownership stays out of Colangelo's way he'll do some good things.

I mean, it totally distracted from the new stories of Lebron's primadonna-ness, so...mission accomplished I guess.
