I don't like the way he called out everyone but himself back then, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. He had a neck/back injury, was out of bball shape and had lost a lot of weight- let's see how Hibbert fairs against him at full strength. He's up to 253lbs, about 10 more than he was at the start of last season. Really hope he has a better season this year.
He said he put 10 lbs back on? I think it's easy to look out of it and like you don't care if you've been sick and lost a lot of weight. If Tyson can get back to how he was a year ago (or even early last year), I'd still take him over Asik.
He said he's put on 15lb to 20lbs since the playoffs ended. At the start of last season he was 340, then lost 10 lbs when he got sick. Said the neck issue meant even when he could raise his arms over his head, they felt weak. Also hinted that he had a few other ailments.
Interesting - either you meant 240 or he's been on the Eddy Curry diet!
I feel more optimistic about Tyson again - at least as long as he can avoid the flu!
