The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

Jokic?

He was outta shape but not anymore.

Outta shape players don't average 36 minutes per game.

Who's on the all non-fittest team?
Luka, Shaq, Oliver Miller (obviously captain), Zion,

who else you got?

Shaqs early years he was an absolute physical specimen and because he was so athletic I’m really not sure he could ever be considered unfit.

Did you watch him drag his ass on the court in the early season some of the later Lakers years. He definitely was unfit at some points.
Full seasons, maybe not, but early season for sure.

Dinner Bell Mel Turpin needs to be considered for this list.

Hot plate John Williams

My favorite was the '89 Indians with Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn.

Have to put Harris on that list, too, as he did stick up for Jesus Christ and his ability vs. the curve.

 

[dtgold88]

I was going to mention him until I saw your comment. You got the nickname dinner bell and you deserve a spot on all NBA outta shape team.

Right? Has to be.

Shaq was never a guy who put a lot of effort into staying in shape in the off-season. When it came to off-season workouts, he was the anti-Kobe. He was always one who wanted to "play himself into shape".

A player can get away with that when they're young because it's easy to get into shape relatively quickly.

But, you hit about age 30, that changes and it gets harder to play yourself into shape...which is what we saw with Shaq.

Hot plate John Williams

Robert "Tractor" Traylor

That's a you're damn right. And with a nickname like dinner bell he's gotta be the captain.

Robert "Tractor" Traylor

My dad had an acquaintance who was a low level staffer for the Bullets back in the day.

The team used to station him outside John Williams door on road trips to make sure that he couldn’t leave, and couldn’t order room service.

Shaq has since admitted like once or maybe twice, that his attitude about that Kobe-inspired off-season work-outs was indeed incorrect. I don't remember if he felt bad about it but he at least admitted Kobe was right and he may have had more chances at Championships.

But he doesn't talk about it much anymore. Age does have its benefits!

 

[DJ Fieri]

Alex Len to the Lakers.

Yeah, not the answer.

 

[bksballer89]

He really don’t want to go back to Charlotte lol

 

[logic]

He really don’t want to go back to Charlotte lol

Would you if you almost were a Laker.
Go from bottom to top only to be told to go back. Ahhhh, I sprained my ego, can't play

 

[thunderc]

But man what an awful delivery, no athletic ability whatsoever

lol nope not at all

 

[thunderc]

So after tomorrow night when the Heat come to town the Thunder play 3 of the next 4 against the Twolves. Come on schedulers, you can do better than that.

 

[wildturkey]

Alex Len to the Lakers.

Yeah, not the answer.

My guy, have you looked at the options available? There are no answers out there. The only option is just scrambling something on paper and hoping for partial credit
