Guess LBJ is losing a whole lotta weight

[Inimical]

Not exactly sure why. As far as his knees go the weight loss could increase that longevity. Perhaps taking advantage of how much the NBA protects their cash cows. For the life of me i can really understand why though. Looks like a good 20 lbs. Hypothetically this could increase his finesse, which as we all know Kobe excelled at and scored nearly at will with his touch in his prime. Dunno though.

Smart decision, as you pointed out it will definitely help with his longevity. However, Lebron's power and his ability to move with his size was what makes his talent amazing. Will be interesting to see if he goes back down in the block as he won't have the same power backing down other players in the post (players that play the 4 or 5).

I think it was 10 pounds, so now at about 240. It should help him and shouldn't affect his post up game too much. Good move.

Shaneman, do they have choppers circling LeBron over this in Cleveland? How silly to worry about a basketball player {gasp} losing weight! 10-15 lbs off now could add an extra half season of productivity to his career.

I didn't make the thread, but did see it earlier. This can only help him IMO

I am loving your avitar!

As far as LBJ, if those pics are real he looks like he's been on a crack diet. Maybe he's been spending 2 much time with his momma?

He stopped taken HGH. LOL

Over the last month or so, there have been a lot of old LBJ cavs highlights going on.

I hadn't realized the dropoff in quickness and athletic explosion LeBron has had, until I started seeing so many old highlights. A lot of it is probably him just being smarter, playing more in the post, choosing the efficient path to score over the dramatic one, etc.

But I definitely noticed the extra bulk from the past few seasons slowed him down some. Father time is going to start to take some of that, too, but I think its a good idea for him. Especially since he'll likely be playing with Love, Varejao and Thompson.

Well you see the thing about the weight loss if it continues it will cause him to change his game. I didn't read any actual numbers there are full profile pictures floating around that to my keen eye look like at least 15 lbs. Maybe pushing 20, which is significant. I cant really tell how much of it could simply be carb depletion which would in actuality mean that his muscle mass is still about the same, though a ketogenic diet would make sense since there is now a new product called KETOFORCE that is a prototype and not banned by the NBA that focuses on using Ketones as a source of efficient energy. This is a natural substance of the body produced by the liver when glycogen stores are depleted it breaks down free fatty acids and converts them to ketones. To maximize its efficiency (ketoforce) one has to start a ketogenic diet and lose glycogen/water weight would could cause a dramatic weight loss in a short period of time initially. Word is that athletes are getting their hands on this stuff before it could be banned by governing bodies. The product itself is basically energy in a bottle, nothing like caffeine or stimulants, much more safe and efficient. I can only speculate as to why LBJ has lost so much weight, throwing it out there.

It could change his game, but I heard he is still as strong as he was before or even stronger. Yes, the weight could hurt his post-up game but the weight loss could help him in almost every other facet of the game.

I have never heard of that stuff seems pretty interesting.

James is a lot of things, but stupid isn't one of them, especially when it comes to his health.
He knows exactly what he's trying to do.

A lot of it has to do with the angles of the pictures... just sayin'.
