He looks under a buck 50 now. i was sure he used to play around 170ish.

[Beebo]

That asian dude with an afro :coleman:

[Levity]

ib4, i heard hes broke, so he cant afford food.

[CeltsGarlic]

Wow, sad.

[kNIOKAS]

I like how former NBA players go to play to China because they can't even make the Euroleague :lol:

I guess they can make it, but theyre just coasting there and money is alright.

[HardwoodLegend]

LOL @ the KG quote

What's funny is A.I. has always been skinny, but the pics really shocked me right away.

Barely any muscle tone anymore. Just bone.

[Beebo]

I like how former NBA players go to play to China because they can't even make the Euroleague :lol:

I would do the same if I was them.

Euroleague is obviously more competitive. These guys just wanna kick back, relax, play some ball and get paid at the same time. Also not to mention that the fans in China idolize these guys.

Just two old NBA Gs having a good time.

[swi7ch]

Wow, how the mighty has fallen... :(

[madmax17]

I like how former NBA players go to play to China because they can't even make the Euroleague :lol:Europe is anything but relaxing, training is more vicious then in the nba, the coaches yell at you all the time, every game is like life and death there is no 1st draft pick.

Point is you have to work your ass off both in practice and in game, China is like a vacation in Hawaii.

[HardwoodLegend]

What league is he in?

That, and your paycheck may or may not come. I think that's the biggest thing that has turned American agents off about Europe.

[Rockets(T-mac)]

God damn... that doesn't even look healthy....

[DuMa]

Wow, how the mighty has fallen... :(

He looks happy in the pics but i hope he isnt using meth or coke something like that.

[irondarts]

Wow. :eek: :eek:

[-p.tiddy-]

he has always been really thin...now he is not in the NBA he just not working out or eating right

I don't think he is unhealthy or doing drugs, he has a natural small frame

[LJJ]

Looks like AI has been doing lots of coke instead of eating and working out.

[Shepseskaf]

AI's not living right.

[9erempiree]

:facepalm @ all the people believing those pictures.

AI has always been skinny and since he's older now and not working out, he's going to lose muscle mass.

Anyways going back to the picture....it's a little bit distorted and the pics are are shrinked. The width is shrinked and the length seemed to be pulled, making it a little elongated and it puts emphasis on his thin body.

You can tell it's distorted because the other players look weird too.

[flipogb]

is this a league game?, the guy with the fro looks like hes dresses for a pickup game

[swi7ch]

This is why I'll never ever do drugs.

That's true. I have a ton of friends who play in Europe and in most cases they have two a days throughout most of the season. They don't f u c k around over there and if you get outta line they just cut your ass usually.

[bdreason]

He doesn't look mad at all in those pics. :confusedshrug:

Thank god we have you here to tell us what to believe and not to believe. What's it like being so smart?

Basically is pure competition and not pure entertainment. You're saying in europe there's ZERO chance some team get's carried by the refs because it's good for the business.

[9erempiree]

I wish I can thank you but it's not hard considering that this is ISH.

I rather not brag about this feat.

[TheMarkMadsen]

because he was SOOO big to begin with :confusedshrug:

[Real Men Wear Green]

Wow, sad.
Only if he's a crack head or something. Assuming it's not due to drugs being thin can be healthy.

[hitmanyr2k]

The first time I looked at that pic I laughed because I thought it was photoshopped. WTF?

no.

[9erempiree]

I hate to be always right but somebody on ISH has to be level headed here.

Here's a video of AI playing in that game, yes, he's always been skinny but not as skinny as those pics in the OP.

[Deuce Bigalow]

Buck 50? More like a buck 20.

hmm...good find

he looks fine

maybe 5-10 lbs less than normal

and obviously in decent health, playing a full game like that

[-p.tiddy-]

I think in that first pic he is shrugging his shoulders in a way that looks misleading...

in the vid he doesn't look that bad really...

He looks just as skinny. You lose.

[SourPatchKids]

As long as he is happy... :(

[9erempiree]

He looks just as skinny. You lose.

:facepalm

Nobody doubts that's he is skinny.

Just not as skinny as those distorted/angle as the pics in the OP.

It's like those magazine pictures of players, they have them in angles where it makes their head look above the rim or their legs seem to be 5 feet off the ground.

[Clippersfan86]

Wow he is skinny. When did Rafer go there?

[Is He Ill]

God damn... that doesn't even look healthy....

seriously...holy hell

[stax]

When did Rafer go there?

Yeah I wondered that too. According to the internets he went late 2010 / early 2011.

And they're using a Wilson Wave ball. :oldlol: Not a single f*** was given in China that day.

He's skinny, obviously, he's always been. He was around 160 in his hey day. he looks 150ish here perhaps even less. You can easily tell he lost a lot of muscle mass.

Those pictures are not distorted either otherwise everyone else would look elongated as well but they don't. Look at Rafer's arms compared to AI. Rafer has always been a bit skinny as well but Rafer looks to have kept his body in shape while Iverson allowed himself to wither away. Not enough macro nutrients and lot's of physical activity will do that.

[STATUTORY]

I guess that's why he's always hiding behind those baggy clothes

all this talk of AI and his weight and nutrients....I'm going to make a ham and egg sandwich on toast and eat it for him.

:applause:

might as well throw in some yogurt, a banana and a cup of OJ.

Maybe some granola chips as well if you have some.

[OhNoTimNoSho]

That picture is either distorted or photoshopped.. he doesnt looks skinny, he looks like a holocaust victim. Yet in the video he looks normal. I have seen many pictures of AI and other basketball players and never have I see an angle where it looks like their skeleton is compressed.

[doublethetrouble]

chinese guy with cornrows in the video :biggums:

[Y2Gezee]

Wow....I clicked this thread thinking I'd find an exaggeration in true ISH fashion.


But he does look sick or something. He needs to eat more than Rice and Bamboo. Add some pork and biscuits to that sh*t

[Nero Tulip]

1, maybe 2 months to live, tops.

So a low quality youtube video is apparently a better way to tell then high quality pictures?

That youtube vid also had a link to more pictures.

he looked so sexy (no homo) here... pls eat more A.I. :(

[SpecialQue]

You know who else looks mad skinny? Metta World Peace.

[Myth]

He looks so happy to be playing in a league where he isn't expected to pass.

[Noob Saibot]

Yea AI's not lifting the weights. that would be practice for him, and AI's not a fan of practice. as long as he doesn't approach Snoop Dogg levels its all gravy.

[COnDEMnED]

In before "The cancer has cancer".

I like those wheel of fortune looking jerseys tho..

[DirtySanchez]

Whoa....mad skinny! Hope dude is ok!

[Dictator]

The asian is michael beasely.

[IGotACoolStory]

Camera angle?

No ****ing way he looks like that. :wtf:

[ripthekik]

:(
his upper body looks skinny in the video, but not that bad,
but his legs look like they'll break any moment :(

[tmacattack33]

Wow, I guess he really was lifting a lot of weights back in the day. I remember him coming back from the summer in 2002 or so saying he'd been working hard in the weight room. You couldn't tell at all because he wasn't very big.

But if this skeletore stuff you see here is his baseline, then yeah, he musta put a lot of effort into maintaining his NBA playing weight (165 lbs).

[Rubio2Gasol]

Baggy Clothes.

Its his shoulders, they just don't make sense, they are like falling inwards

[funnystuff]

He joined Kevin Durant status.

[LoneyROY7]

Damn, he looks barely over 100 soaking wet.
