LMFAO BasketballJones did I not nail the Eddy comparison to Fat Albert? Then you took it to another level with pics related to basketball.

Eddy looks fater than ever and LOL @ the reports he lost 12lbs. Exactly what I said a few days ago about that report being misleading. If a guy started last yr training camp at say 275 lbs and then by the end of the yr blows up to about 295 only to camp back to next seasons training camp at 280, who cares that he shed 12-15lbs because he's still F'N fat. Once again the changing of seasons, particularly the summer will dictate weight loss. The same with winter in regards to weight gain. Everyone should shed some kind of weight over a summer.


I will say Steve looks great, he really does and Kudos to Jamal Captain and Captain Frye.

He lost 12 pounds of muscle (and gained 20 of fat)!

Seriously, though, maybe he's "fat" for an NBA player but it kind of feels strange to use the term fat to describe him. I bet his % body fat is a lot lower than the average American's. I'm probably just nit-picking but if you saw him walking down the street, you'd say "Look at that tall, strong guy" (not "look at that fat guy")

We're definitely exaggerating. You'd say look at that big guy. And he may be doing the best he possibly can to stay a certain size. However, staying in shape is part of what he's supposed to do to collect that nice paycheck he gets. Most americans' jobs don't require any where near the level of physical fitness required to be an NBA player. IOW, we're expecting a lot from Eddy, with good reason.

You make a good point about most people being in shape as a job requirment. Personally, I'm getting a little tired of hearing and fussing over of all things, Eddie Curry's weight. All I can say is 'he better damn well be in shape, come the start of the season'!

Eddy doesn't have to be cut like Big Ben...just a flashback to 2004 is enough for me.

Crawford doesn't look too different. His neck certainly looks real bulk though. I'm sure he has been working the weights though. Some guys are just wirey like that. Look at Tay Prince. Skinny guy but he's pretty strong.

What disgrace, Eddy needs to be moved, horrible attitude and never commits himself to the game, just like half of this team that is partying there ass off during the seasons and making a joke of the fans. We have welfare centers that just like to collect without working at all, if they both committed themselves we would be a lot to handle down low, but typical Isiah acquisition they do nothing in the offseason...

Q looks like he dropped a few and Balkman is very light no wonder he had that shirt on in college and summer league

Has the idea occurred to anyone that maybe the reports of Curry working hard this summer are true, even if he still looks bulky? Different people have different metabolisms... for all we know, Curry may have worked twice as hard this offseason as Francis, who people seem to think looks good in the media day pics. Curry is likely never going to get exceptionally trim for a center with his frame, for the same reason Crawford will never get bulky for a guy with his frame. Not a big deal as long as he progresses and produces on the court.

At one point, Curry looked like this:


He now looks like the second picture.....Has a metabolism ever changed so much in a man between the ages of 22 and 24 with a healthy thyroid?

Man' there is' a difference there! Are you sure you didn't just go into Adobe and widen that pic? I mean the guy doesn't even have any muscle tone on his arms. I hope this isn't what he looks like, because that waste line sure looks awfully wide!

Posted by BasketballJones:

Oh look - he's "shorter" in the second pic too!!!

Guys, these two pics aren't comparable. The pics are different sizes, and Eddy is taking up more of the frame in the second shot, probably because he's closer the camera. We'd need him to stand in exactly the same spot, same distance from the camera to get a good comparison.

They can't position him equally in the frames and still crop out his gut.

And I like how now he keeps his arms flared, keeps him from making cleavage.

Also, notice how his shirt is always a little baggy around the waist, so you can't really see his pot belly.
